BHW is penalized by Google?

[validseo]

Overall BHW has fairly competitive measures for its SEO content tuning.

The forum is losing relevance in a few areas for this search term (keep in mind BHW does very well for other search terms).

Compared to the average page 1 results (BHW ranked 33) for "Internet Marketing Forum"

No leading match in the title.
No leading match in headings.
1000 fewer Plus Ones on home page
7 fewer heading matches
No matches in H4-H6
No social integration (can't like or share the site)
60 fewer sentence matches

If the homepage had safety text above the footer talking about BHW's mission for the Internet Marketing Forum it might help establish better relevance for the search terms.

Impressive. What tool are you using?

My own software. I am hoping to launch it after the holidays. Glad you like it!

 

[Nargil]

@validseo - That's some neat stuff right there mate!

 

[Good42]

Because it's a blackhat forum.

 

[Aty]

End of page three by me. Sad.

 

[blacktrilby]

Not even in first 100 pages for "rocket propellant"

 

[Couch Monkey Media]

I did a search and it showed up on the 4th page here in Austin, TX and not logged into google

 

[thetrustedzone]

BHW reviewed manually by google from long time , it's BHW staff mistake they didn't invite matt cutts to last ungagged event ... he got jealous and did his childish revenge .......

 

[Street Fighter]

[DeadJoe]

Wow, I didn't think a site this big could get penalized, and what for?

 

[hippo123]

Interesting. Google does not want others to know of BHW methods? heh

 

[davids355]

Top of page 5 for me as well.

lol really? Check most if the large insurance comparison sites.

BBC
jC penny
Washington post

List goes on

Even sites like myblogguest were slapped for promoting guest posting etc.

I'm surprised Google hasn't blocked the BST section years ago to be honest .

 

[Elon Snup]

relax guys, unless people have actual proof that it was ranking for a long time on page 1, I dont understand why people suggest it is penalized.

The forum is not optimized for those keywords

 

[laur.laurix]

In this case being penalized by g is not such a bad things. Methods will live longer , threads like "find a witch doctor in ur area" will be history. Bhw will live through social media and word of mouth.

The null results related:blackhatworld.com query gives me the feeling that BHW has been penalized. Most folks are seeing it on page 4 it seems, that's 40+ down from where it would be naturally.

I've never heard of that #1 ranked forum any way, I confess I'm out of the loop as I don't keep up with all the gurus and forums out there, but those resulks seem strange to me.

I think something's up at Google. I don't think this RankBrain is an improvement over their previous systems. Someone today posted a results page full of www7 and www4 and www1 clones of www that all rank for page 1 for some kw.

 

[Sristy]

It's on 5th page for me too. But it ranks on first page for certain keywords especially buy keywords, I could see few threads of BST on page one for many "buy" keywords.

 

[Intuz]

Not on first page.
USA google on 36th position for "Internet marketing forum" keyword.
But it is very famous forum and listed in almost all articles contain the list of top forums for linkbuilding.

 

[ThatSEO]

It's not really an internet marketing forum to be honest.

Internet marketing is very much well, marketing. It's

It's a pushing boundaries and cheating the system type forum... although DP is way spammier and far more black hat due to the crap and unmoderated services etc

It's still ranking for Seo forum related terms etc, although bouncing
