Different TLD domains [DOES IT WORK?]

barspiner · Jun 14, 2021

Hello guys, currently I'm working on my projects from health niche. After few google updates my website is almost killed but I want to try one more time to save it. I will focus for CBD niche (just starting in my country because it was legalized just last month) I already made few articles but probably need much more content than this.

Here is screenshot from ahrefs

What do you think? Is it possible to recover from something like this? It wasn't manual penalty.

My main question is if current TLD domains work for seo. My website is no .com domain so is it OK to build some quality links from different domains or it's just waste of time?

Another question is if there is something like "GRAY ZONE". Google probably put my website in this zone because I used to rank for a lot of kws and now I see a lot shittier websites rank for these keyword instead of me.

Thanks for any advice!

Those ups and downs look extremely fishy. I've had them but not so extreme, and not twice like that. From 20K to barely 0 and from 40K to barely 0.
All depends on what you did to get up to 20K and then to 40K. It was purely organic traffic?

I did nothing special. Yea almost pure organic traffic.

First down (2018) was Medic update and after that I just continued to post content and building links.

But in November 2019 something happend and now I think that its dead. I ´m trying to build some link and I post few articles per month to show google thats website is still alive.

The extension doesn’t matter that much. They’re pretty much treated equally except for some cases like country tlds, the infame .tk, etc.

For new sites I always go with .coms not because of seo but because its the de facto extension.

This looks like some algorithm penalty and it has nothing to do with the domain TLD,
you can try to get a new domain and redirect the old one to it to get the traffic back by any luck

Hi
If it's an algorithmic penalty, redirecting will pass the penalty to the new domain as well.

@barspiner Building high quality links and working on On-page SEO is what I advice.
You even can manipulate CTR gradually. It should be keyword + brand. Somiibo helps you with that.

No no guys I mean if I build quality backlinks from .com domains for my .sk domain. Does it help or it´s useless? But thank you for help! I ´m glad it´s not manual penalty and “just” algo penalty…

yes, even with a different language it should work

not always, you can recover with a redirect or a couple of them and it worked well for too many users, make a little search

Should it be a double redirect? And is it still working in 2021?

So for example when I will buy 2 strong expired domains and redirect old domain to "EXPIRED DOMAIN 1" and then to "EXPIRED DOMAIN 2"?

It shouldn't be expired domain as far as I know but the procedure is right. @hideath right?

yes, that's the one for a penalized domain,
the results are not guaranteed tho, it works sometimes and others don't make a little search in BHW and you'll find a dozen mentioning such examples,
idk about the case of @barspiner, google has health with such redirections the last year and never done anything similar since then

No redirections at all. Just regular backlinks (paid guest posts and backlinks in already posted articles). Just this month I found 3 strong expired domains with quality backlinks and redirected them to article about similar topic like website on that domain (checked by archive.org).
I gues I have to wait now for a bit and will see if it has some positive result. Wish me luck .
If not I will try to change domain name and redirect whole website to new name.
