My site still out of rank
-
Hello,
I am working on a site for past 3 months, here are the problems with this site,
1. It had a forum full of spam becuase initially captcha was not included, 10000 spam backlinks
2. Affiliate page was also hit by spam about 4000 spam backlinks which were either not existing or porn etc....
3. Too many internal links which were indexed, these additional links were generated due to tags, ids, filters etc.
Existing SEO team decided to remove the forum and after 30 days they blocked it in robots. But within 30 days the site moved from 3rd page to no where. Now after few days lator internal links are also cleaned by putting following in the robots,
Dissallow: / *?
Dissallow: / *id
Dissallow: / *tag
Links are now cleaning up, all the spam and bad links are now put into disavow file and sent to google via disavow tool.
On daily bases good quality links are been produced such as through content, article submission, profile linking, Bookmarks etc. The site is still not any where on top 50 results. The impressions are decreasing, traffic also do not rise as much.
How do you see all this situation. What do you suggest and how long do you think it will take to return to top 10 when good linking is being done and all preventive measures are being taken.
I would appreciate any feedback on it. Thank you.

Indexing is good, crawling occurs almost every two days.

have you checked to see how often google is indexing the site? these may be affecting how "fresh" the results are in your target keywords. so, if it's only indexing once a month, you may not see a lot of change in search results.

I have added the URL, sorry for missing it,
here it is again, http://www.creativethemes.net, magento themes, magento templates

I agree with irving.For perfect reply give us site URL.
Do read out the post of Rand on Friday whiteboard.
Linkbuilding is dead we are moving to Link Earning.
If you want to create a profile link.Make sure you contribute as part of that member discussion board or site.
N/A profile link is worth what?If you have great community surely your bookmarks and social shares are one of the valuable assets for you but the current way of backlinks is slowly getting to end.
The next war is how good our content is to be let others link naturally to us.Looks like mad for today but you will enjoy it once you start applying it.

impossible to answer without the URL, keywords, competition level etc.
"On daily bases good quality links are been produced such as through content, article submission, profile linking, Bookmarks etc."
Those don't sound like quality links to me, also you should not link build while trying to get out of a penalty.

Is it still true that 3xx redirects don't cause you to lose any ranking?
In this: https://moz.com/blog/301-redirection-rules-for-seo it says that simply redirecting - provided you don't change anything on the page - isn't going to cost you rankings. Is this still true, or is there any new data/case studies that have been done since? I haven't seen anything updating it and just want to make sure because it's from 2016. We want to do simple 301 redirecting without any changes to the page. Or has anyone had an opposite experience?

Manual action penalty revoked, rankings still low, if we create a new site can we use the old content?
Scenario:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | peteboyd
A website that we manage was hit with a manual action penalty for unnatural incoming links (site-wide). The penalty was revoked in early March and we're still not seeing any of our main keywords rank high in Google (we are found on page 10 and beyond). Our traffic metrics from March 2014 (after the penalty was revoked) - July 2014 compared to November 2013 - March 2014 was very similar. Question: Since the website was hit with a manual action penalty for unnatural links, is the content affected as well? If we were to take the current website and move it to a new domain name (without 301 redirecting the old pages), would Google see it as a brand new website? We think it would be best to use brand new content but the financial costs associated are a large factor in the decision. It would be preferred to reuse the old content but has it already been tarnished?0 -
Flash site ranking well for a competitive keyword
Hello Mozzers, Thought we'd get the group's opinion on this: This site (power lead generation) is ranking for the keyword "lead generation" on Google.ca at the 5th position organically . It's performing even better than some of the better optimized sites with more content related to this keyword. Any input would be appreciated. Cheers, SEO5..

Rankings improvement strategy
I am working on my SEO strategies and though it would be good to get advice from awesome members: Our current rankings are on (Google United States) page 5. Our keywords have high competition and hence we need to follow tight plan. I want to learn some best strategies to get Page 1 rankings and how much time would be required approximately. (though I know its weird to ask for time in SEO but what I mean is some case studies or examples of how long you waited when you have pushed your website from page 5 to page 1) What rank maintenance strategies you follow in general. Does anyone have used any agency for rank maintenance for their niche.

Widespread Ranking Drops for Strong, White Hat sites
Hi Moz, A few of our sites experienced widespread ranking drops across all keywords this morning. Both of these are very strong sites with a high DA (56), moz rank and moz trust above 5. We haven't been doing any black hat SEO, creating spammy links, or paying for links. Is anyone else seeing anything similar or have any ideas as to what type of Algorithm update this might be? We currently rank 67th for our name.

Is it possible to Spoof Analytics to give false Unique Visitor Data for Site A to Site B
Hi, We are working as a middle man between our client (website A) and another website (website B) where, website B is going to host a section around websites A products etc. The deal is that Website A (our client) will pay Website B based on the number of unique visitors they send them. As the middle man we are in charge of monitoring the number of Unique visitors sent though and are going to do this by monitoring Website A's analytics account and checking the number of Unique visitors sent. The deal is worth quite a lot of money, and as the middle man we are responsible for making sure that no funny business goes on (IE false visitors etc). So to make sure we have things covered - What I would like to know is 1/. Is it actually possible to fool analytics into reporting falsely high unique visitors from Webpage A to Site B (And if so how could they do it). 2/. What could we do to spot any potential abuse (IE is there an easy way to spot that these are spoofed visitors). Many thanks in advance
