5 Sites De-Indexed

brainstorm1 said:

I don't understand why people consistently under "content" their sites. Add an extra article or two EVERY week. You've all heard that content is king so stop giving Google any reason to deindex you.

It doesn't take long to write a new article...and it costs about $7 for a 500 word one.

Well I was doing that, my site that was #1 had about 6 articles, it was the biggest money maker and I made sure it looked legit and was adding content. The other's were ranking 5-8 and I was starting to add more articles to them. I won't say the sites were awesome, but I can search for similar terms right now and find tons of sites that look way worse, in fact the site that is #1 now for my best term has 2 ads above the fold and 2 pages of spun content

This is interesting. Many well known sites interlink with each other. Gawker sites do it. Cnet sites do it. And so do many others. I don't see why you can't.

If you do remove the interlinking and they then readd you to the index please let us know.

Yup, I don't understand it. I've been doing IM for 3 years and never run into any problems like this. I've removed all the interlinking now and if they don't accept my sites within a week I will build clones and redirect them.

Because Google has one rule for one, and another for another. Most corrupt company online, with NO customer support unless you're a big adwords spender

Your sites were interlinked. doesn't matter if they are in the same niche.

Same thing happened to me a while back. Clone the sites and use similar domain names and then 301 redirect the old domains to the new ones.

Would this work if the site was not deindexed but instead just has a penalty?

You act like if Google owed you anything. Be grateful that they are sending you some free traffic, because they could send it to one of the other million similar blogs out there.

So, I shouldn't interlink sites? Never heard that one in many years of internet marketing. Will have some changing to do on my sites.

I recently had 2 adsense accounts shut down all sites using those 2 adsense accounts where using ctr theme. The email I got was pretty specific considering it was google. It basically said I was tricking people into click on adds and that is not in the spirit of the terms and conditions. So bye bye CTR theme I will not be using you anymore. Shame though as I had a monster CTR. Which was probably the red flag anyway!

Damn 5 sites to get deindexed at once it alot, if you're doing stuff like interlinking them the least you could do is keep them on separate webmaster tools accounts

interlinking doesn't matter if you have same adsense account on all of them thats the same as interlinking.

Was all your site that interlinked was in same hosting under same ip if it is yes then mostly because of that it might have happened
