How do I get out of google bomb?
-
Hi all,
I have a website named bijouxroom.com; and I was in the 7th page for the search term takı in google; and 2nd page for online takı. Now, I see that in one day my results seem to be on the 13th and 10th page in google respectively. I made too much anchor text for takı and online takı.
What shall I do to gain my positions back?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Hİ Marie, thank you very much for detailed info you have provided. My domain is only 3 months old; and my website is 1 month old. I have done too much of Anchor texting. You can see the work done in majesticseo but the work cannot be seen in OSE. I don know why..
Update: I am now in the 2nd page for online takı word, but on the 13th page for takı. I dont know what is happening in Google

Did Google launch a Penguin penalty update today? One of my pages, which has been penalized in the past due to too much exact anchor text, just got slammed again today. Went from #5 to nowhere to be seen. Last time this happened, I contacted some sites and got rid of some of the links, but I wonder if they changed the bar again today?

How old is this website? When I look at your backlinks in OSE there is only one backlink. In ahrefs (which is faster than OSE at picking up backlinks) there are more, but only 8 domains containing the word takı.
If you are worried that Penguin affected you for overusing a keyword as anchor text, I think this is unlikely. Penguin last rolled out October 5. It looks like these links were made since then otherwise OSE would have picked them up. (But there is a possibility that OSE doesn't look at foreign language links? I don't know...it's possible that they have existed for long enough for Penguin to be a factor.) With that being said, ahrefs is only reporting 8 domains linking to you with this word.
If this is Penguin then your drop in rankings would have to have happened October 5 (or May 25 or Apr 24). Otherwise, it's not Penguin.
The only other linking penalty that could get you would be a manual unnatural links warning in which case you would have a warning in WMT.
If this is a relatively new domain then it's possible that you had a honeymoon boost which placed you near the top and now you rank where the site deserves. According to Google Translate, Taki means Jewelry. To rank on the first page for a single keyphrase competitive term like that you'll need a lot more domain authority.

Google serp pagination issue
We are a local real estate company and have landing pages for different communities and cities around our area that display the most recent listings. For example: www.mysite.com/wa/tumwater is our landing page for the city of Tumwater homes for sale. Google has indexed most of our landing pages, but for whatever reason they are displaying either page 2, 3, 4 etc... instead of page 1. Our Roy, WA landing page is another example. www.mysite.com/wa/roy has recently been showing up on page 1 of Google for "Roy WA homes for sale", but now we are much further down and www.mysite.com/wa/roy?start=80 (page 5) is the only page in the serps. (coincidentally we no longer have 5 pages worth of listings for this city, so this link now redirects to www.mysite.com/wa/roy.) We haven't made any major recent changes to the site. Any help would be much appreciated! *You can see what my site is in the attached image... I just don't want this post to show up when someone google's the actual name of the business 🙂 nTTrSMx.jpg C4mhfgh.jpg

Google not pulling my favicon
Several sites use Google favicon to load favicons instead of loading it from the Website itself. Our favicon is not being pulled from our site correctly, instead it shows the default "world" image. https://plus.google.com/_/favicon?domain=www.example.com Is the address to pull a favicon. When I post on G+ or see other sites that use that service to pull favicons ours isn't displaying, despite it shows up in Chrome, Firefox, IE, etc and we have the correct meta in all pages of our site. Any idea why is this happening? Or how to "ping" Google to update that?

Google is indexing my directories
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I was looking at all of Google's results for my site and I found dozens of results for directories such as: Index of /scouting/blog/wp-includes/js/swfupload/plugins Obviously I don't want those indexed. How do I prevent Google from indexing those? Also, it only seems to be doing it with Wordpress, not any of the directories on my main site. (We have a wordpress blog, which is only a portion of the site)

How to get Google to index another page
Hi, I will try to make my question clear, although it is a bit complex. For my site the most important keyword is "Insurance" or at least the danish variation of this. My problem is that Google are'nt indexing my frontpage on this, but are indexing a subpage - www.mydomain.dk/insurance instead of www.mydomain.dk. My link bulding will be to subpages and to my main domain, but i wont be able to get that many links to www.mydomain.dk/insurance. So im interested in making my frontpage the page that is my main page for the keyword insurance, but without just blowing the traffic im getting from the subpage at the moment. Is there any solutions to do this? Thanks in advance.

Google News URL Format
Hi, We are currently redesigning our gaming website (www.totallygn.com) and one of our main goals is to get listed by Google News in future. Looking at the Google News URL requirements "The URL for each article must contain a unique number consisting of at least three digits." How does the above affect SEO structure? I was planning on using a format such as www.totallygn.com/xbox-360/360-reviews/fifa-12-review how would this compare to something like? www.totallygn.com/xbox-360/360-reviews/fifa-12-review234 Thanks in advance for your help
