Rate anchor text of the Sape .How much?
None of my keywords show up in the searches although my site is indexed. At the time of the penalty i had most of my targeted keywords in top 10. I'm asking what do you guys think was likely the cause? I dont think it's work trying to save this domain, new one i guess right?
The most likely causes:
- Bought 175 PBN posts
- Bought 30 very expensive and HQ SAPE links (~3$ per link)
- Bought 200 manual HQ comments.
- Bought 150 LQ bot made nofollow comments for diluting my d0follow links since i had only d0follow but at the time of penalty i still had like 95-98% d0follow, i gues they didnt indexed fast enough.
- Made ~150 web2.0 links (on ampedpages, Bcz,edublogs, fc2, iamsport, onesmablog, rediff,unblog.fr, webgarede blog, wikidot, wordpress) using gsa ser (serengines service) that never got indexed even though i added them to an indexer service and more than 7 days have passed since i sent them and from which ~50 were deleted. Maybe these sites reported me to google since i spammed them?
- Backlinks speed. I dont know if it was too fast or not, please give your opinion. Also the domain was registered on 11 october so pretty fresh site.

- Had another site that was manually penalized, deindexed and message received in webmaster tools (now called Google Search Console). But i dont think this had any impact, i dont think google registered me somehow on the "blacklist of people that will never rank a site again", or did it.....O.O? Also the new site wasnt added in webmaster tools/google search console.
- H@ck niche based website. Even though i dont think this was the cause since there's still a ton of this kind of websites.
- Used nulled wordpress theme
- Switched a few times back and forth between my old hosting provider and the new since i had issues on both.
Onsite SEO was 100% natural, no keyword stuffing or anything like that. Anchor text percentage was also perfectly normal, the biggest percentage was 14% for a keyword.
Hopefully my failure can became a case study so please feel free to give your 2 cents.
High chance because of your SAPE links, i had sites penalized in just 14 days after pointing SAPE links.
Other than that, the rest looks ok. You should add your site WMT and see what message you get.
Yep, it's a typical "thin content" penalty, 100% onpage. Linkbuilding certainly wasn't what I'd call "best practice", but it didn't cause this penalty. Getting a manual "thin content" or "pure spam" action is something you can hardly avoid in some niches. If it's game hacks, it's not the question if you get it, but when you get it. It's a niche where only brute force churn & burn works.Is thin content..OP should google what is thin content. The message is very obvious, why still talk about backlinks
Which of What he bought are you calling trash? the SAPE?First, $3 per link IS NOT EXPENSIVE.
Second, the trash you bought was probably the reason to your penalty.
Third, come on man, let that site go, build another one and make it big.
this is not backlink penalty.it's all about your content.anw never use sap direct to your sitethx everyone for their input, got the message in search console. I thinks its penguin 4.0 that took me down, too many links in a short period of time with too big percentage of money anchor texts

Most likely a manual penalty. Check Google Search Console for penalty messages - in the hack niches it's quite common to receive either pure spam, thin content or unnatural inbound link penalties. Just part of the niche. Having said that, you can try a double 301 to recover rankings.
What's a double 301?
Register two new (!) domains: DomainA.com and DomainB.com
Clone your penalized site (domainX.com) with all its contents etc. to the newly registered domainB.com. You can also create a super simple blog on domainA.com, but it's not necessary.
Now via htaccess you redirect the domains like this:
DomainX.com -- 301 --> DomainA.com -- 301 --> DomainB.com
I asked about that a few weeks ago to see if it would work, lot of people were telling me no L
