No I didn?t ?Just join to write that?. You are completely missing the point, obviously because you are so stuck in SEO from 2 years ago that you refuse to see what you need to be doing now.
Good luck when Penguin hits! I look forward to your angry posts when you?ve been hit.
I have done a small analyse and here is the result:
Take look at the anchors on domains level. not linked page anchor, I talk about linked domain anchor.
If the site was linked with the raw url the most -> site stayed.
If the site was linked with the raw url 2nd. place and keyword first -> page lost ranking
And additional this is not a domain wide penalty. even if some inner pages or the root domain went down, inner pages can rank, too.
can you confirm?
i did a small analysis.. i used two of my sites and ranked purely with GSA and 10 articles scraped and smashed one was used. it got hit.
for my one another site i used 5 unique articles, spun with wordai, smashed as 1 articles with GSA.. it got hit but only 4-9 position drops.. not like first one..
so its getting clear that its penguin 3.0
