one KW just went from Page 2 to Page 13 yesterday ... hoping it goes back ...
I don't get these updates, I know one site in 1st spot for main keywords, it has just a shit load of bad quality links, not much diversity in its links too, it has dupe content, and still keeps it's position in 1st spot of google... WTF? someone explain this please...
I can't believe what I'm reading on this thread. People are actually claiming that people that use GSA tanked with the update. Do you guys even read what you're about to post before you post it? GSA IS A TOOL. I'm not partnered with them in any way, but it's just pure stupidity that people can blame a tool on their website tanking. GSA does what you program it to do. If you program it to do the right things, then you don't tank. If you program it to do the wrong things (which is what 95% of people do) then of course your backlink profile is going to put up red flags.
At the end of the day, these tools aren't 1-click auto rankers, they're meant to be used properly by people that know what works.
BS crap I just had some PBN links same day that this Panda 4.0 hit. I am thinking this was more about links. You guys better drip links. ,Don't have 10 DOffollow links coming in to the same url all in the same day.
Really all these services should provide a 10 day or higher drip. Google is on to this shit.
Anyways for my main keyword I was on 3rd page now I am on 6th and still droping. I am 100% positive this is link related. I think too many links in a short period of time could be the issue.
No it can't, because churn and burn sites get thousands of links per day and they still rank fine.
