Website disappeared from Google :(
-
Dear all,
I've a 5 years old website, which was in top rank for a particular keyword. It's been a couple of months that the site suddenly disappeared from Google.com.au search. However, the site is number one on Bing and Yahoo.
I've tried almost everything in my limited knowledge but it doesn't seem to come back. Can you please suggest if something can be done.Google.com.au
website: http://partysuppliesnow.com.au/
keyword: "party supplies"Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
It looks like for your site is either the EMD or panda 20. See visibility graph: http://screencast.com/t/nuADEP65t
Since you are a good candidate for the exact match domain issue / update you can tackle that but first you should see if you are also a panda candidate and go with the vaccine base don the illness...
Hope it helps.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your replies. It's been really awesome. At least, now I have a direction to follow.
@Chris Menke: I've generated a report with penguin-tool you sent. It seems we are hit by Exact-Match Domain (EMD) Update and Panda#20. Please see the attached image.
Could you please tell what should I do to recover from the EMD and Panda 20 effects? Is there a chance I can get my traffic back with the same keywords?
@Jeff Christofferson: Yes, we used a service who were building 1 way links and the links all focused heavily on our main anchor text "party supplies" and "wedding decorations" which made our link profile look unnatural. - we have removed most of them now, and just 2 days ago used the disavow tool on 112 links we couldn't get removed.
Thanks again guys

Jarod,
It looks like there's some suspicious links to your website, including one "link network" from city.lucarelli.com. It may look like a link network to Google, especially when there's the same exact match text (Wedding Decorations) for each one.. I'd also remove links from linkpartners.com. I just took a quick look, but there's a few links from lower domain authorities than you which probably aren't helping your site.
Hope this helps! From my own experience, it's been taking 15-30 days to get sites back after an algorithm change like this... So be patient is the best advice I can give you, after you clean up your link profile.

Jarrod,
First you'll want to determine what penalty you were hit with. You can match up your google analytics with this http://www.barracuda-digital.co.uk/panguin-tool/ or this http://moz.com/google-algorithm-change and then you'll need to start taking steps to recover from the penalty--here's a starting point for that: http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2276498/Pure-Spam-What-Are-Google-Penalties-What-to-Do-to-Recover

Potential spam websites with high DA linking back to us
Hey everybody, I'm going through all my sites and disavowing crap links. However, I'm having trouble distinguishing which high DA sites to disavow. What would you do? For example:
Moz Pro | | MEllsworth
https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/spam-analysis?site=busca.starmedia.com&target=domain&source=subdomain&page=1&sort=spam_score and https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/spam-analysis?site=cc879fe.activerain.com&target=domain&source=subdomain&page=1&sort=spam_score They both have tons of backlinks - both good and crap. The first has a DA of 72 and a Moz spam score of 4/17 and the second has a DA of 86 and a Moz spam score of 9/171 -

SEOMoz ranking reports inaccurate for Google?
So I have notice that, at least for some searches, the rankings shown in SEOMoz's ranking reports are meaningless. I assume this is due to blended search results including local search. For example, I have a client, who is ranked 3rd overall for one of his most important search terms, but his ranking is based upon his local result (there are 2 organic search results and then he is the first local result). The SEOMoz report shows him being ranked 12th. Anyway I count down to the 12th ranked site (including local search, not including local search) his site is not there. In fact the only place it is in the top 3 pages is in the local result. As a local marketing consultant, almost all of my clients are looking to be found for "Jackson Hole" this or that, or "Jackson, WY" this or that, so this is a pretty critical issue to me. I would appreciate feedback. Thanks!

Our Duplicate Content Crawled by SEOMoz Roger, but Not in Google Webmaster Tools
Hi Guys, We're new here and I couldn't find the answer to my question. Here it goes: We had SEOMoz's Roger Crawl all of our pages and he came up with quite a few erros (Duplicate Content, Duplicate Page Titles, Long URL's). Per our CTO and using our Google Webmaster Tools, we informed Google not to index those Duplicate Content Pages. For our Long URL Errors, they are redirected to SEF URL's. What we would like to know is if Roger is able to know that we have instructed Google to not index these pages. My concern is Should we still be concerned if Roger is still crawling those pages and the errors are not showing up in our Webmaster Tools Is there a way we can let Roger know so they don't come up as errors in our SEOMoz Tools? Thanks so much, e

Website traffic data miles behind
Just logged into one of my profiles to review my traffic data and the last traffic is for 9th Jan. Given it is now 22 this is far far from acceptable. Given the high monthly fee charged by this service why is the traffic data so far behind. If other services (cheaper services) can update their traffic data daily or even weekly why should I continue to use SEOMOZ. The rankings, errors etc are all updated for the 21st of Jan so why not the traffic. Your's An unhappy custimer

Google UK rankings don't seem to be accurate.
Just a quick question - I am tracking the keyword 'chemistry teaching resources' as part of a campaign and our site comes up at number 4 on a google.co.uk search for this however in the rankings report section of our account, we are ranked at number 50 for this keyword in the 'google UK' column. Does anybody know why this would be different? It is also different for a number of other keywords in the campaign. Any help you could give would be much appreciated. Thanks
