      Hello Everyone,

      I am amazed to see that all the ranking of keywords got down after Penguin webspam algorithm updated on May 22, 2013.

      Is there any suggestion how we will recover and get the ranking back.

      Thanks

        hi,

        Unfortunately, that's up into a ton of people. If you ever go to SEM Rush and type in some domains of once popular sites you'll see they probably took a hit.

        Absolutely there is a way to come back from being hit like that. The best way in my opinion is to really step up content that is of an extremely high caliber.

        Another example of things you can do make sure your author rank is good and that you're using it correctly with Google +

        You might want to hire an SEO take a look at your entire site architecture definitely use a tool like scribecontent.com it will help you write so you're not as spammy To google.

        There are quite a few ways of getting links that are organic and have the power to push you out of your slump.

        This most recent update is by far the most harsh. my personal view is Google wants to stop this and destroy it once and for all. And there'd probably knock and stop any time soon until the best page ranks for Whatever the  query.

        you need to start collecting information and do original things I know it sounds stupid for me to say this and like generic advice. However I believe this is what you have to do. I would suggest longer posts and making sure they're not focusing on keywords simply focus on whatever the topic is and get the keywords about the topic out of your head and weight like you would if it was not being judged by Google.

        I hope this was of help,

        Thomas

            As far as website architecture is concerned I would agree with Matt Cutts from Google he states WordPress gets rid of 90% website architecture issues

            I know one thing about your site that if it is the same site that you have listed is an issue you don't have any H1 tags unfortunately without those you will not rank well. There is a possibility that if you add them you may regain your prior search results.

            There is a list I found on Google Webmaster tools and hopefully this will be of some help.

            http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35769

            | H1 | Not Found |

            Above is a search for on page SEO I found no H1's

            hope I've been of help,

            Thomas

              PS if you want to know the architecture of any website I strongly recommend going to

              builtwith.com

              then typing in the URL of the site that you want to research. It will tell you what type of site it is sometimes the hosting provider, DNS  a lot of information, and it's free.

                Hi Thomas,

                I am agree with you there is no H1 tag on Home page but  all the inner pages include H1 tags as well. so i thing this is not the only reason also as per this google webmaster guidelines structure of our website is good.

                suggest me what about the content..?

                Thanks

                    Hi,

                    if your rankings drop down after penguin 2.0 you have backlinks issues to resolve, not content issues at first place.

                    Greetings,

                      I agree with you if it is directly after Penguin 2.0. However many of the times this is a mixture were you ever officially manually penalized?

                      I can take some time later and go over your content for you and your structure of your website using scribe for your content and I will look over your general website structure however you could just run a campaign on SEOmoz here, and that will tell you a lot more about your website then I'm going to do tonight. I'm sorry I can't spend more time on the site however I will do an analysis of your content and I will check out your back links.  I would use open Web Explorer to will get your own links look for directories, anything spammy what I mean is if you would not use that link to find what you're selling then it is probably not a good link. Remember to build for the visitor for the search engine by doing that you actually are building for both.
