Penguin Penalty...

Anyone noticed this?

no..i have many sites all those sites hit by penguin update and still after doing lot of work on them on removing links and putting quality content, my sites are still on pending position

Nope, didn't notice any such thing. I think it's a gradual process, so we don't know many things that Google is doing silently in the background.

I've noticed, not sure what I was doing wrong - obviously something. Just reading about on here and elsewhere what to do and what I've done. Still scratching me head!

I think you're doing it the right way.

You must simply de-optimize your onpage SEO, meaning rewrite your Title, Meta Description and delete completely Meta keywords.

Then make fresh content on your site.

Ping your site.

Then wait.

In our past we did lots of junk backlinks and over optimized our pages with keyword. but now Google changed everything. we have get back to remove all our irrelevant links. Its really help you.

I am suffering same penalty so can you tell me heft how to removed 1000 links in your website?

@heft, I wonder what you mean when you say that the reconsideration requests "have all be knocked back". Do you mean the reply was "no manual action has been detected towards you site"? If so, there is no point filing more requests, just continue using ethical SEO methods to further improve your rankings.

@MaroshIS, the only thing I completely agree with is that it won't hurt to demolish meta keywords. Those are useless and may be actually giving away your keywords to competitors.

As for not using your keywords at all, that's just wrong. How are you going to rank then? Keywords in titles, copy, headings are what makes your site rank well, even after all the algorithm updates.

Yesterday an update started rolling. Some of you might be affected by it. Some of my sites also disappeared but I will just wait for the waters to calm down before freaking out.

My site jumped from 18 on 2 page to 4 on first page.But have to analyze the factors . I think contextual links and EDU links did the magic.

Interesting,

The more I read about Penquin, the more confusing it is. lol I have been on top of Google's organic results for over a year, and wham, I made one update and I was lost in space, couldn't find where my sight went in Google, but it wasn't on first 50 pages where I looked.

What to do, I had gone through this with several other sites when Panda attack hit, but this one was my primary landing page, so this hurt big time. I didn't know what to do, but the only change I had made by adding another topical article, I decided to start there not knowing all the issues with Penquin at the time. Low and behold, I removed the last addition I had made and in two weeks I regained my number one listing. Was it the article I added, or was it simply coincidence with Penquin release?

Simply put, when these Google attacks hit, it is nearly impossible to know what they have changed, but millions of sites have been hit, including many of my less important sites which were dying anyhow. Blogs were hit hard, especially the typical templated deals that the guru's have been pumping for years. Blogging for bucks is dying as I see it, and with the attacks focusing on these replicated sites, I wouldn't waste my time on affiliate marketing anymore, time to move on.

Success to all,

I have also found some fluctuations in my rankings.

Yes I am also getting some fluctuation in the site's ranking. But is it really the unnatural links ?? I thought that this unnatural link was a drama from google :|

If you were hit by penguin, would be very hard to bring back that site. A solutions does exist for recovering your rankings tho but its not through removing inks, building new links, filling for re-consideration, honestly those are just a waste of time and you are going to spend time doing all that without any results!
