Notice:
All orders from November are going to be filled via Juicer's Network 2. All of those sites are still indexed and even stronger than our network 1 sites. However, I'm contacting the admin right now about shutting down this service... because....
Our network was not hit with an algorithmic penalty. Exactly 40 sites were deindexed, which is exactly the size of our biggest package. All of our sites passed copyscape, and the sites that were deindexed were across several different hosting accounts.
Only possible conclusions....
1. The disavow tool - A ton of posts have been made here and on other internet marketing forums about it - look it up if you haven't heard about it. Basically it allows anyone to send the links to G and make up some BS excuse about their SEO guy screwing them, etc. when it was just really the fault of not keeping track of your keywords and not choosing to keep them under X %.
2. Reconsideration Request coming from Google Unnatural Link Penalty E-Mail - Someone panicked when they saw this e-mail headed to their money site and immediately filed a reconsideration request.
Anyways, it is even more shitty for us, than it is for you whomever dropped a bit of cash and have some missing links, trust us. Anyone who has been in the game long enough knows that shit happens when you are in the gray/black hat area. However, we are assuming that J2 will stay up for a long time, as we shut down orders for that in the future and decide what to do to avoid future problems.
Sorry guys, but the future of blog posting networks is very cloudy. With the disavow tool, any network that discloses its links is vulnerable to any 1 person. Since this network was secure for over 6 months, and we're confident that the problem was the result of 1 person reporting their links, we're going to open up a semi-private (10-12 people) blog posting network with a monthly fee. It will probably be 1 40 post or 2 20 posts per day for $500/month and all of your links will be handled by our writers and VA. If you're interested in this - contact us via juicersnetwork (at) gmail.com and we'll let you know more details. The benefit of this is that no one will be inclined to use that tool when it affects all of the sites they submit to the network, and hopefully, the cost will prevent people who would use that instead of just playing smart in the first place.
