Rick Lomas (https://www.indexicon.com/) is my go-to guy for removing toxic links
]]>What do you think could be the way forward on this situation.
]]>Absolutely, this case study is still relevant.
]]>Is this case study can be use as date nov 2020? Is there any significant changes
]]>So how I really know if the algorithmic penalty has been lifted.
]]>Very good
]]>Thanks Emila!
]]>Blog post coming soon.
]]>It’s going to vary, of course. Your competition level is key and how quickly you can boost your own domain’s authority is also.
]]>Thanks for deeply guide and explain each and every points. i really like it. i have one question. How much time take to sales generate in ecommerce site. (site is fresh)
]]>That’s not a deal breaker.
]]>Great post. Thanks for share.
]]>My pleasure.
]]>I followed this article and made changes to the site accordingly. Had a spent some money on some of the tools advised too, wasn’t much. But the results are shinning. Just under a month the ranking and traffic has boosted up to 1400%.
Thank you very much.
]]>Thank for sharing.
]]>The gains were made on the previous content which was ranking their services pages.
]]>Hey, thanks for sharing. I am making backlink from High Da sites, some are relevant to my topic, and others are not. Will it he harmful for my sites. Because others are making backlink from this way.
]]>URL anchor types are pretty damn common.
]]>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
]]>Press release syndicated content is fine.
]]>I discovered today that it was the HTTP HTTPS migration causing duplicated content issues, not us :O
]]>And the content? The site has original content, but also many press releases. It happened because of layout change, but I don’t know what more to do haha.
]]>Duplicate titles is not something that will cause an algo penalty by itself. You’re helping out your site’s over quality score though.
]]>Cheers.
]]>Best,
]]>I am not also familiar in disavowing but in most cases this is the only way to clean sh**tty links.
]]>Oh stop…
]]>I do what you mentioned.
]]>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.
]]>Then when i read the Article here.. You know what i was thinking?
“WOW! This is sooo goood”
Yeah, honestly, this is the best SEO Tips article i have ever read..
You answer my all question with the solution
Please, keep doing it! I’ll often go here to read your next post Matt
]]>With SEO, you need to do “all the things”
]]>I typically use Ahrefs.
]]>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.
Hey Matt,
How do you know whether they get traffic?
Do you rely on ahrefs/semrush/moz/etc or use similarsites / alexa
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!
]]>Really it is an outstanding outline. Thank brother
]]>If they link, then I’ll get rid of them.
]]>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.
]]>or shall i need to add the command to disallow http pages in a robots.txt file?
]]>Yeah, you are right Matt,
I guess now I have fixed all things can you please help me why my website is deindexed?
It’s fine.
]]>Thanks for that. Put a lot of love into this one. 🙂
]]>You are deindexed. Check your robot’s file, or check for GSC actions.
]]>Please help to figure out the problem.
Please send me more useful article.
]]>Hi Syed, I recommend checking out this article.
]]>Thanks for sharing
Cheers.
Great information really enjoy it, keep up the great work
Thanks again Matt
]]>For sure. Penguin algorithm.
]]>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
By just doing technical SEO? Not really. With our clients, we go full steam on everything at once.
