Website completely disappeared from SERPS.
-
My website which was launched back in September 2013, after a few months it was ranking second page for some of the most competitive keywords. It was all because of some good quality guest posts from PostJoint. After a few months, the website was ranking on 16th page of Google, then 20th page, then 25th and now nowhere!! I agree that majority of the guest postings of PostJoint were blakchat. For this reason I have now disavowed all domains where I had guest posting done from PostJoint.
My questions:
1. Is my website affected by Penguin, Panda etc? (There was no manual penalty though)
2. My website is nowhere even for "My Company Name", this is a shame, I have to run a PPC campaign in order to get the traffic where visitors were typing our company name in Google.
3. What are the remedies? I can't afford to start a new domain, because the domain has been advertised heavily (offline marketing etc).Please let me know your thoughts, Thanks in advance!

Has your traffic also dropped? Are you searching in an incognito browser, to try to minimize any personalization?
Without knowing your URL, it's a little difficult to diagnose.

Hi Keri,
Many Thanks for the response, Yes the website is indexed and I can see the pages indexed in Google and also if I search for "mycompany" without spaces it appears right at the top, but the problem is why its not coming up with spaces?

If you search site:domain.com in Google do you show up? Do you show up in Bing?
First step is making sure you're still indexed, and it's not something where there's accidentally a robots.txt involved.

Should harmful links to your own website be removed?
Upon running a link report on a website, there are often multiple links flagged as bad or suspect that come from a blog that is integrated into the website, which means there are links (set up as article tags) in the site that go to other pages in the same site. They have likely been flagged due to their high frequency. A similar problem is occurring where blogs from a connected site (from an offshoot site of a company that is part of the original) are also tagging their blog posts to link into the original website. Should these links be disavowed? Will these links have an effect on the website if they are disavowed or not?

Should I built a microsite for client's new service or add a new section to an existing new website?
We built a new website for one of our clients. Covering services A B C mostly commercial and industrial B2B construction service. We bought him a brand new domain called serviceAcompanyname.com The website uses a brand new domain and as no DA and PA yet. The client wants a new section added to the Website concerning a new service ( we are going to call it service D) which is still a local service but offered to Home owners. Should we buy a new domain called serviceD-region-companyname.com and make a microsite covering the topic and work on backlinks and links in parallel for both sites, or would we be better off just adding a new section to the existing website and work on the main DA. Will it be easier in the future to enhance 2 different domains or a single one even though all services are not targeting the same audience.

Decent SERP site sending 1000's of links to your website?
I've spent most of this summer trying to clean up my link profile, most links I've never requested myself, they just appear. Here's a question, www.allworldlinks.com appear to have a decent page authority but they are bombarding my site with hundreds of links, I now have over 12,000 from them. This is not good I guess?

Why does SEOmoz not show links to my website?
Google WebMaster shows that 55 external sites have links to my website (webmakercms.com). But SEOmoz shows only 5 links and when I click on "download to CSV" I get a message saying that there is no data for this url in Open Site Explorer. Why is this?

Duplicate content when uploading articles on other websites
Hi, We regularly write articles on our website and then submit them to different websites with link backs or sometimes without link backs. If google crawls these websites and our website, will it penalise us for duplicate content? Does it make a difference if we put link back to our site or not? If Google sees it as duplicate content, what should we do as a solution? Thanks
