Google Penguin Recovery Plan

No, that just means it's indexed and not deindexed. You can have a penalty or a manual penalty and not be deindexed.

From what I know 302's are way better than 301's

You have covered some useful information there, thanks.

Eventhough 301 redirection is tricky thing. When do it correctly as op said, it will work.

I have seen both cases of the penalty passing via 301 redirection to new domain and the recovery via the redirection as mentioned.

So, it is worth a try.

This is driving me crazy. Every day it is some thing new. Traffic seems to have gone down again today. What the hell is going on? I don't think anybody knows what to do.

Great post! Very informative I will try some of your methods.

Thanks for your indepth guide OP, can you help me with information on picking products for ppc campaigns? Does it work at all for affiliate marketing?

This method work perfectly.
Thank you for passing this info to us.

I see you are not replaying to this thread anymore, I even pmed you with no response I hope you can answer my below question...

Should I build high quality links to the new domain or to the old domain ?

Hey mate, I've messaged you back. Sorry I've got a new job and been a bit busy.

In regards to the question. I don't think it really matters what you decide to do since it works as a funnel.

But what I'm going to do is build links to the new domain. However, I'm only going to do so when I feel the ranks are going down. If they're not I don't plan to touch it. This works well because I use PBN links. They work fast and efficiently so it doesn't matter if I wait until the ranks start going down a bit.

But either way I'll be building to the new domain and when and if I get hit again I'm going to 301 both domains to a third new one. But I will 301 only the 2nd one first, see where the ranks take it with the 301 from site A to Site B. If it ranks well I'll keep it like that so it's 3 levels deep.

However if it doesn't rank as well then I'm going to 301 Site A and Site B both to site C.

I'm doing this all whilst re-creating my profitable site on a fresh domain and getting it ranking again. Then when that one does get hit as well I'll do the same thing all over again. I have no idea what Google's going to do, but doing this at least I won't have much downtime on my earnings. Really if you found a niche that's profitable, you should be able to get another one ranking again in not much time.

Also to the people that are messaging me and flaming me saying this is a waste of time, this one's for you:



I'm sure you can tell when I got hit and when it recovered.

I hardly think a $10 domain and 1 hours of work is a waste of time if this is going to be achieved by recovering your domain.

I'm happy to make this another 10 times even for a days worth of earnings, it's really quick and hardly a waste of time if you're making money.

I also just tried this method and it worked for me, the new domain has got similar rankings after just 2 days, hopefully they will stay for a while.
I still have a really old domain that got hit in 2012 that I never really tried to sort out so I will give that a try to see if this method works when I get chance. I will post here with any updates.
Thanks for the info Ninya.

Nice tricky move at the right time OP.. The method is good and really tricky to patch up the penalty.. I have redirected on of my site.. Hope I will see good changes soon.. Thanks again OP..

No probs guys, be sure to post your results and also let us know when it passes through. In my opinion we've got months and months ahead of us. If it does catch up to us, I'll play around and see whats the best way to recover then.

about 7 days passed and ranking still stable ( -+3 ). Mostly page 2. Old site most keywords used to be in page 1.
Sales are back too, but not as good as it used to.
Going to start building high PBN links to the new domain,

Should I start building them now, or wait for anther week to pass ?

Op, is completely right. Many of here misunderstood his post. I did it in couple of my sites and it worked well so far. Testing is imp rather than lame excuses.

I reckon give it another week man, just see where the rankings finally sit. I had most of my ranks back within a week, but then they hit even better positions the week after.

And with the PBN links, just try not to invest too much money into it, just do whatever is necessary to climb a few more ranks. I still haven't built any links to the website's I've 301'd because I didn't want to risk a fluctuation due to Google dance on a new domain.

OP is right, I'm so glad I listened and tried rather than sitting on my arse waiting for a new site to rank. Thanks Ninya

Top stuff man. Don't get me wrong, ranking a new site should still be something that you should consider whilst this new one is still making money.

I mean if it's a profitable niche for you, spend some money on making another one but uniquely different just so it ages and and as a plan B. And who knows you might even have both ranking at the same time before one of them gets hit again which means more $$

how about using https and redirecting http version to https version... will it work?

No, this won't work because the TLD is the same.
