I have a site that lost about 60-70 of it’s traffic after Dec 3 upgrade. After reading your article i checked my link profile and saw that about 200,000 bad links were directed to my site as against my former 1000.

What do you think could be the way forward on this situation.

Quick question, instead of using anchor texts, how about the “exact URL backlinks”? I mean backlinks without anchor text. I’m guessing they should be more safer, or are they considered spammy? thanks in advance.

There’s (justified) tin hat thought around the concern that if you change your anchors it sounds like you control your links (which Google doesn’t like). How tin hat are you?

If the Penguin hit was caused by overusing exact match keyword anchors, would you recommend changing these (to generic/brand/naked) if the webmasters can be contacted, or straight up deleting/disavowing?

Thanks

I am not doing all of these things when the site is penalized because in Poland in most cases working with links is enough. Only sometimes I have to work on Onpage to fix some issues.

Can you suggest any way to remove scrap content, media files and archive pages from the index ASAP? because if we just add no index tag then we have to wait until the crawler come again.

Do we just need to add noindex tag to those pages or we have to remove them from search console (Link Removal Tool) as well.

1) It was our best hunch on what the problem was so we started there.
2 a) These two factors definitely shouldn’t be your only criteria for deciding if you want to disavow. Also look at the traffic of the website, the types of sites it links out to, etc.
2 b) See above.

I think I have read this article around 5 times as of now. It’s very impressive and one of the most informative articles about Google alogritmic penalty removal.

Now I have started implementing your guidelines in one of my websites which has lost traffics one month back. I started with the onpage part and it’s glad to tell you that I have seen improvements in the rankings.

I have few questions though:
1. Why did you start with the backlink audit? Can it be the other way? Onsite audit and then backlinks’ reviews?
2. While disavowing links you have mentioned the following points:
-Does it link out to many sites?
-Is the page/site authoritative? Ahrefs’ DR helps here.
a) I have backlinks coming from websites which are linking to many other websites. But these links are of DA 30+. Should I disavow them?
b) What’s the least DR/DA I should look for?

Thanks in advance Matt!

Great article, I’ve read many times over since you published.

Regarding links like the directories/statistical tools that sites tend to pick up over time, do you find value in disavowing even if you don’t actually see a link to your page? If they are showing up in GSC/ahrefs/etc I assume there is a reason.

Thanks,

Zach

You don’t need to add the sitemap to robots if you submit it in GSC. But either way, if your site is https, keep all references https.

Does google only crawl on https pages or will it also crawl on HTTP? actually, i want to block the bot to crawl http pages because it creating internal duplicate content as per siteliner.

or shall i need to add the command to disallow http pages in a robots.txt file?

Learned a lot of things! One question, I have uploaded a disavow file and its name is “disavow-updated.txt” and Google successfully uploaded it, my question is, is the name “disavow-updated” instead of “disavow” a problem?

You are deindexed. Check your robot’s file, or check for GSC actions.

I’ve bookmarked your website. Actually, I’m going through some crazy situation that my site is fluctuating. Sometimes it shows up on my targeted keywords in top num, sometimes it gets lost. I’m very confused it’s happing from last month. You have my website link now. 🙂
Can you please give me a little tip.
Thanks

Hi Shannon… I’m not in the camp that believes the update was solely focused on YMYL. I also don’t believe updates are targeting one small aspect at a time. The best advice I can give is to “do all the things”. This article is a good place to start.

Hey Matt,
Do you have any tips on how to get out of YMYL penalty? My traffic became almost to zero after this update. Please advise.

Thanks,
Shannon
