It's now been a year since I used aka sam's service (lady gaga) and while he did deliver what he said and had good communication, there was absolutely no positive impact on my site. Shame...

Unfortunately I don't think there is much that can be done with Google Fred. I have 4 websites that were hit by Google Fred. One of them I made a ton of changes on after Fred, another I made quite a few changes, one I made a couple small changes and the fourth I changed nothing. All of them...

Just placed an order for Born This Way. Will leave a detailed review. Looking forward to seeing results!

You're right, I don't recommend doing it too, cuz it's not easy. But it definitely isn't bullshit.

For those unclear, rank and rent is essentially creating a site and, if it ranks well, "renting" it out to a business. For example, you create a website about pool repair and cleaning services in Los Angeles and it somehow ranks high for keywords like "Los Angeles Pool Services", you could then...

Yep, it can be frustrating. I really hope Google goes too far and someone like Facebook (or anyone) comes out with a search engine with minimal ads. Or, people get fed up and switch. I'm not hopeful though, just a wish...

Google's keyword planner, though not completely accurate anymore, is useful and helpful. It is especially interesting to see what other words Google consider relevant. SEMrush and longtailpro are useful, but can be expensive for some.

Your site is not currently accessible, your host has temporarily limited it and it looks like you need to contact them to get the restriction removed.

Haha, that's true, no arguments there :)

That is what I would've thought, based on logic. However, in my experience and that of a few friends, success came because we tried so many different things and put so much out there. Most things failed, but by sheer numbers, some succeeded. Then I was able to focus in on what succeeded and...

Well, I am relatively new and am hoping that this thread can be a source of useful advice and learning for everyone here, including myself. However, I will share my own advice, though my experience is still rather limited. If I could go back and give myself advice, I would tell myself to...

This is an open question to anyone who is willing to share their experience and what they've learned in seo and building and maintaining websites. We have all had successes and failures, and hopefully learned from both. Few things are more valuable than experience and few gifts are more useful...

In my experience, PA is more relevant than DA in this case. I have found it easier to outrank sites with low PAs, even if they have high DA. I have found Google's Keyword Planners competition metric to be almost worthless.

Any one else have any recovery success?

Anything new? Anyone have any recovery successes?

I am not asking for their recipe. But at least a "we did this because...and we are trying to encourage..." People will always try to manipulate things, but there's a difference between smacking a kid and not telling them why and smacking them and explaining why so they can learn and improve...

This sounds like solid advice. One thing seems clear, many people have been hit for different reasons and are seeing results fixing their sites in different ways. I have one question. For numbers 1-3 above, what do you recommend as a good keyword density? Are you saying to check if your...

Yeah, no kidding! How are people supposed to know what they did wrong if they are not told? How are we supposed to improve our sites if we aren't told? Even if you try to follow the "rules" you can still get burned. Sometimes I wonder if this update contained an error in the algorithm....

Hi, after my site got hit, I noticed too that my tag pages and category pages were causing a lot of duplicate content. I also lost several positions in the serps for quite a few keywords. Turns out I have all sorts of duplicate content caused by tags and category pages (I'm new to this!). I...

I also lost several positions in the serps for quite a few keywords. Turns out I have all sorts of duplicate content caused by tags and category pages (I'm new to this!). I would like to follow your method. Is this how you did it? 1) Delete tag pages and thin content pages (did you delete ALL...
