[tanveerayakhan]

Hello I know a site which has the following things and it is not hit by google penguin at all and is ranked on first page first link in google.com.pk

it has 1.3K total backlinks

its has 34 referring domains according to ahrefs

the exact match keyword which is ranked in google.com.pk as first position is used in 1.2 K backlinks

its DA is 18

and PA is 31

its citation flow is 19

trust flow is 13

targeted exact match keyword is present in Title and description also.

Now tell me what is happening here.

I'm sure some folks can tell you all about this evil, no good, site. But you kind of have to mention it, one way or another. URL shorteners are a good way to do so.

[tanveerayakhan]

What do you mean i have to mention it..... you mean the domain to mention here?

[Travis_Bailey]

Yes.

Here is the link for you and all others who have answer to my question

It's ranking due to pure spam.

[tanveerayakhan]

O come on I know about it, but my question is why its ranking from about 3 years on first page first position. why Google not slapping it. Its a huge surprise for me as there are authority sites below it... amazing...

Has any moz expert an answer to it????

Is moz and majestic failed??? or lacking???

[Travis_Bailey]

Yes, the domain is propped up by pure spam. Have you reported it to The Googles? Venting on the forums may feel nice, but it doesn't get anything done.

I am in Pakistan and that is why I do check websites in rankings from time to time and I have to say that there are many niches and areas where Google still allow spammy websites especially when it comes to Google.com.pk (maybe because Google give less important in our area).

The best idea is to report this URL to Google to bring this to their attention and may be in the next Google penguin update, this got hit.

In my opinion, there is not much you cannot do other than reporting it to Google.

Hope this helps!

[Travis_Bailey]

Are you sure about that?

[tanveerayakhan]

Well that is also not appropriate answer as it is ranking in google.com too on first page....

[Travis_Bailey]

What is?

[MoosaHemani]

Not sure what exactly is a satisfactory answer to him but as far as results in Google.com they are not always as per the guidelines. Type in “SEO Services” and you will find companies who are ranking on basis of blog comment spam.

But they are much better than what I use to see previous year!

I think Google is working hard to make their SERP results pure but they are 100% pure and as per the guidelines is not something I will agree with.

It’s a process and it will take time #iguess

Interesting had a look at the links.  Correct pure spam links. Ironically there is a nexus between some of the backlinks sites and the genre of the website pointed to - so I assume that is what is saving the site from a penguin penalty.

The traffic is not great. So tanveerayakhan I am not sure I can answer the question. In summary it is a black hat site with limited traffic ranking well.

I would try and defeat the site on it merits. Build up your domain authority.

Also have you tried contacting the sites where http://pkwebhost.com/ gets the links from? Try and get them deleted. If they are true spam sites - they will do anything for only a little money... a bit cheeky, but it seems you are aggrieved.

[tanveerayakhan]

which backlinks you are saying about which you said are saving this site?

[ClaytonJ]

To be 100% I am not guaranteeing these links are saving the site however links like http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1377228 are related content.

Thus any IT, Hosting type links are related topics. Such type of links maybe outweighing the more obvious spam links.  Hope this assists.

I am not sure if anyone can take it further, it is a bit intuition and then a detailed comparison study between other sites on the SERP.

1. The site is ranking due to spammy links, this is why the site, despite having a "large" number of links has a low DA etc.

2. Why is it not hit with Penguin (corrected from Panda sorry typo)?  While Google is pretty good, it is not perfect.  People can still get away with this stuff (sad to say).  Also, Google does not roll out all updates to all countries that Google works in at the same time.  They have to account for things like differences in languages etc.  So, it could be possible that this site would not rank in Google US at this time, but maybe in other countries.

3. Word of advice.  Beggars can't be choosers.  Your question qualification of "expert answers only please", could be considered a little rude as most everyone on here is doing this for free and because they want to help other people in the community.  If you want expert advice only, then pay for a consultant, otherwise just be appreciative of the nice folks who are willing to chime in and hopefully point you in the right direction.

Cheers!

[tanveerayakhan]

Thank you for your response, as you mentioned Google can't role out in all countries but if I tell you this website is ranked in google.com too now what will be your answer.

and I asked for penguin not panda.

and I asked for experts because I am also the same level as you and the other 2 who answered here so all your answers are not logical. So please give any other reason you think it can be. Thanks. and I am not rude I knew its a hard question that why I said experts should answer.

[MoosaHemani]

1. I absolutely agree with you!

2. Obviously i am not an expert but I tried to explain this point to him as per my knowledge and experience but i guess he want some "expert" to explain this to him.

3. Thank you for pointing this out as the tone was pretty much rude (to be atleast).

[tanveerayakhan]

Dear Moosa have you any alternate solution???

or you will focus on my words and say its rude

please guys come on topic again.
