This Valentine's day Google gave me a gift. The gift was throwing my website to 600+ results from the 1st and the second pages. The highest ranking of a keyword was #2 which went to #589. Propably I got slapped by Panda3.3 But hey the good news is today I am BACK... I am back with even better rankings. Here I am going to say what I did.... Maybe you can also get it out this way.... Starting from 14th Feb:- Checked my rankings and I was frustrated... I stopped all the link building activities on that website. 15th Feb:- NO WORK AT ALL. 16th Feb:- NO WORK AT ALL. 17th Feb:- Submitted the website to 2500 whois websites. 18th Feb:- Found all the broken urls and fixed that with the help of my coder. 19th Feb:- Fixed all the onpage issues including the 404 errors. 20th Feb:- NO WORK. (Waiting for Google to cache) 21th Feb:- NO WORK 22nd Feb:- NO WORK (Patience was over for me now) 23rd Feb:- Started to make some genuine forum discussions sharing my inner pages links in the signature. I always used a big line in the signature, my link surrounded with text. 24th Feb:- Continued with the Forums.. STILL NO CHANGE IN THE RANKINGS 25th Feb:- Continued with the forums 26th Feb:- Continued with forums and started to do some directory submissions for the inner pages. 27th Feb:- Sameas 26th Feb SITE's INNER PAGES WERE RANKING NOW IN 30's for other keywords. 28th Feb:- Stopped the Forums and Started to build a manual link wheel, with all fresh content. 29th Feb:- Directory Submissions again for Inner Pages. 1st Mar:- NO WORK. (Tried to index the work and almost 60% of it got indexed) 2nd Mar:- Forums Discussions again. 3rd Mar:- Site is Back with better rankings. I did not promote those keywords within these period as you can see it in the thread. THANKS GOOGLE....
Is that gift still available somewhere, can you share? Also, what's your site doing about, and how many post does it has?
Yes that gift is still available... Just blast your website with one keyword to around 10k sites, you can also enjoy the slap of panda..... My website is a ads posting website, it does not have post it has nearly 2k registered users in 3 months and ads I would not like to mention how much.
my site is slapped by google on 22 feb and i see a message in web master tools what is the tips to get rank back. What to do. I just send message for reconsideration or should i deleted my site from web master tools. The warning was: "Some URLs in the Sitemap have a high response time. Some URLs listed in this Sitemap have a high response time. This may indicate a problem with your server or with the content of the page." this is the privacy policy page i see this issue in my sitemap may be that will be the problem
I also saw messages when my site was penalized. My message said about the site links. There were 10 other critical issues on my website for the 404like content and 400http error. Just made a request in removal urls in webmasters that day itself. I did not remove my website from the webmasters. The high response time is a bad thing to have. You must consult with your designer or coder to make that particular pages load fast.
It was a nice come back buddy. I hope it will be very helpful for all who got this "gift" from google. Good luck for the future rankings.
Awesome! I got penalized and I need to do the whois blast like you talked about. I need to do that today!
Can you tell us how you did this: 17th Feb:- Submitted the website to 2500 whois websites. You did it with scrapebox? Can you provide of the links? Thanks.
Just don't go too crazy with the whois links; on one of my slapped sites all other links disappeared and only 4-5 pages of whois links are there! Needless to say - it's still in the deep hole... diversify!
Guys Guys Guys... Don't only go for the whois blast.. you have to do all those things also.... Need to really work in a very random order to get it out of the penalty.
My site slapped by Panda Version 1 is back today. Not even a single link done in between. Also one more site slapped by Panda 2 is back. My View -> Google Panda is still rolling. Lets wait n see. Also some my competitors site also back. lol All is well
