I'm looking to create more websites in the niche that I'm currently most invested in. I know the big G doesn't like the idea of one entity owning multiple spots on the first page and creating false competition. My main site currently has webmaster tools and analytics setup. I don't want to...

I think this is my 7th or 8th post on this thread. It's been a roller coaster. In early-mid December I lost ~80% of my first page rankings. In early January my website was mostly deindexed. In the second week of February, I began to see a recovery. Around 50% of my keywords came back. Each day...

Alright, I have a bit of an update since my last post about a month ago. As of about 5pm today my pages have reindexed and have begun retaking some of their old rank positions. The ONLY thing I've done since I lost my rankings and my website starting deindexing was removing websites that were...

My main site that was hit earlier in December has all but been banished from the serps. It made a small recovery over the last couple of weeks bringing it back to about 40% of pre-update traffic. As of last night, half the pages have been deindexed and the other half have dropped even further...

Small update. My biggest keyword has returned to the #1 position. Fingers crossed it remains. It's strange, the non-plural version went from 1 down to 6 on December 17th. The plural went from 1 down to 30~. As of tonight, the non-plural went to #2 and the plural is now at #1. I've done...

Here's hoping. Did you do anything with the websites between November and now? Or did you just leave them alone?

I never received a message and it was almost certainly an algorithmic change. A ton of people here on BHW and elsewhere seemed to have lost a lot of rankings. I posted a bit more info in this thread. Sudden Ranked Drop? Google Algo Update? I'm going to leave this site alone for now. I'm...

This feels like more than EAT. If it was EAT why would I go from 1-3 all the way down to 60-90. Most of those websites are way less credible than mine. If I dropped to the 2nd page or high 1st page it would make more sense.

Okay, I've pieced together a few things this morning. I went through my website and my competitors who were not punished. The competitors are all doing various degrees of blackhat. Expired domains, purchased links, and PBN's. The niche is medium competition and these websites likely do anywhere...

Yeah, looking at the 4-5 sites that I considered competitors, they all have done the blackhat tactics. Either pbns, expired domains, link buying. The only difference between their sites and mine is I had a few domains 301d to me.

My site got hit hard. I lost about 90% of my traffic. Built on an expired domain. A couple of my competitors built on expired domains as well and didn't seem to get hit.

I hope your right. However, most people seem to be reporting analytics issues. I've actually lost hundreds if not thousands of keyword positions. My competitors definitely have not.

As of yesterday, my primary money making website is effectively dead. It lost over 95% of its traffic and all keywords are down anywhere from 20-100 places. I'm assuming this isn't any algo change and is likely a manual penalty. The website was built on an expired domain and I did do some pbn...

My Review: Made my first order of 5 revisionary links a few months ago. Since then I've done no backlinking. I've seen a significant increase overall in my rankings for multiple medium competition keywords. Awesome communication from the seller as well. Will be making another order soon.

This is just the natural flow of all things. The internet was like the wild west. Eventually authorities and moneymen come in and change things. Is the internet truly worse than it was in the 90's. I couldn't say personally but looking at acrhives I think in many ways we are better off today...
