      You had an SEO company working for you a few years ago, yes?  They did some REALLY dodgy linking - and yes, you have link issues on the domains.

      Unfortunately it looks like both domains have the same issue - you've bought links or had an SEO company do work in the past. Either way you need a disavow, site cleanup & new authority built to the site.  The new site is really good looking.  Good luck with it!  Let me know if you need anything further.

        Why are your blog pages, just an image of a photocopy of someone elses article.  You realise Google can't read the text from Images for SEO purposes right?

          Yes!! Matt Definitely it is true for the first website. But now we have a in-house team working on this. That is why are very sure about the links and its relevancy.

          But all the websites that are ranking have really bad links but still they rank. One odd keyword of our is on 1st page but main were on 3rd now pushed back to 7th.

          Our content sharing is much wider than any one of them. We are simply perplexed why is this all happening to us.

          1. We changed even to server in India for new website. That means both websites are on different servers. The new one is in India.

          2. New website is secure https://

          We know we are just there but there is something we are missing for sure and not able to find that out... it is becoming challenging question for us. Any no of people we ask noone tells us the right solutions

            Hi Jonathan

            These are just our news coverages posted in other websites. so to avoid content duplicacy we just post images.... apart from news events all categories have text posts

              Why not just use rel canonical?

                That right we could have... but was not ready for a 1% chance so thought this to be best.

                Secondly we wanted to show the same copy

                  Aman,... well what you are doing is creating thin pages which over time might just risk a Panda Penalty.  You might want to at least no-index those blog pages.

                      According to Ahrefs you have a 63% of referring pages contain the word "hair."  Your top anchors are hair, loss, transplant, treatment, india

                      You had 3 links on .edu domains, all of which were spam comments on forums which have now been removed.

                      Even your latest links are not very clean:

                      • http://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer_types/breast-cancer/f/38/p/51392/515703.aspx
                      • http://origin.wrongplanet.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=114120&p=6418306

                      Do you think those are natural backlinks passing a lot of value?

                        Thanks for reply Matt. Agreed these are some links which surely could be out of frustration. Can get them removed. But I have a question, check out our competitors who rank in India. You will be amazed to see their link building. Even one has a sub domain pligg sub domain for all kind of bad links even sex related etc.

                        However, how can you help us to achieve our goal. You can send a PM too... I will be very glad.
