Hit by Panda - Google Disavow Help

[AMG100]

Hi

I hope you can help me

A Website I manage has been hit hard by the Panda Update. I am really struggling to understand what is seen as a Spammy link. The Website use to be on page 1 for "fancy dress" now it isnt visable for that term at all and most other terms the site has dropped for.

I have looked into what might have gone wrong and have removed several links , used the disavow tool 2-3 times and submitted re-consideration requests, but each time google informs me that they are still detecting unnatural links.

Could somebody please take a look at our link profile www.partydomain.co.uk for "fancy dress" as an example and show examples of links you would consider that google might not like.

It would also be good if anybody had any contacts in the UK that could help

thanks

Hey Adam,

This doc is a little old but still useful. You need two docs. Your link profile from OSE and this doc http://seogadget.com/categorising-your-links/ (download excel at the bottom).

The way they show to copy data from OSE to SEGadget has changed, so see comments at the bottom or leave a message here if you get stuck.

Once you have the data you can see a big list of panda losers/winners etc.. good chance those spammy links are in the panda losers section...

Also are you getting any messages in webmaster tools?

ohhhh...   Panda problems are usually caused by thin content and duplicate content.   Penguin problems and unnatural link penanties result from spammy links.

You might want to read the new YouMoz article about these topics by Marie Haynes to get panda and penguin straight.... and also learn how to handle some spammy link problems.

Lots of people - even pro SEOs - don't understand the difference between Panda, Penguin and unnatural links.

Read the article so you don't do damage through improper actions.

To further stress EGOL's point, this is definitely a Penguin problem if related to unnatural link detection. But that's simple semantics which are definitely relevant when searching for information/help in this matter.

It honestly should be pretty easy to figure out what spammy links there are. For example, you sell dresses, so if your website has links all over underground hip hop forums then it's probably unnatural.

What paid link services have you used? Can you contact them for submission reports? Most will provide this upon request...
