FYI At this stage, the impact is non-existant . . .Gah!

they were news articles, so brand new pages . . which I guess are PR NA. keyword competition is intense :)

Hi all Over the last month I got links from 3 different high PR domains: PR 7,8 and 8 These were major news websites, so not stricly in the same industry Any ideas, how long before I should see some positive impact on rankings? To offset things, the site is a Penguin 2.0 victim, and we...

thanks - the landing page is basically useless now - it just has a spiel, then talks about the sole product, with a link to the product page

One of my product categories only has one product now, so the category landing page is not really needed. The product page is starting to outperform the landing page in terms of backlinks etc - as this is the product we have been promoting. I want to get rid of the landing page, and 301 it...

anyone?

I'm going seperate for now, and I'll have to be be careful managing the content for dupes etc. When I do a re-build, I'll do responsive, and will build for mobile first, and add stuff in for bigger screens. . I think this is at least 18 months away But I think trying to engineer the current...

thanks everyone. it looks like our biggest hit was only over a few keywords the others are OK has anyone else had this experience?

The domain has to stay . .can't change it. anyone got any opinions about disavowing spam links? Cheers

thanks everyone. After going through our backlinks, I am about to disavow the spammy looking ones. I got them from webmaster tools any thoughts as to whether this is risky - disavowing about half the links? thing is, organic traffic is still going down - I figure it can't get any worse if...

OK, We got smashed by Penguin, and our rankings are damaged. What are you doing to keep the money/traffic coming in NOW, while you sort out the serps . . .so far I am doing or contemplating doing the following 1. Increase SEM - it's what the gods want, I believe :) 2. Increase 3rd party...

Also, I've just had a look in WMtools and it shows our search impressions are down 50% since Pengiun 4. Is removal of the buffers a decent tactic here, to help recover As well as this, I'll be doing a bunch of white hat stuff.
