Why this site is not hit by google penguin only experts answer please

[Andy.Drinkwater]

To be honest, with your 'tone' through here, telling people they are not experts and general manner, I would be surprised if anyone else would want to chip in. If they do, please try to keep this in mind.

Remember, that everyone in here does it for their love of SEO and the MOZ community. Noone (other than MOZ employees) are paid to be on here, so perhaps don't call levels of proficiency in to question, because anyone answering is trying to help.

Tanveerayakhan,

You have your answer.

• http://goo.gl/Twp28T is NOT ranking on page 1 on google.com. (I searched for "web hosting Pakistan" incognito while in the US and it came up on page 2, #12.)
• Google's algorithms are imperfect. http://goo.gl/Twp28T is ranking as well as it does due to known black hat tactics which haven't caught up with it yet.
• If you want to out-do it, be patient, persist and "try and defeat the site on merits. Build up your domain authority."
• You should watch your tone and maybe show some appreciation for those that are volunteering to help you. (Otherwise you'll stop getting suggestions.)
• If you're not getting the answer you want, feel free to hire an expert. Moz does provide a list of recommended companies that provide consulting services.

Typo fixed on penguin vs panda.  There have been a lot of Panda updates lately and I have that on my brain.  Regardless of the algo mentioned, Google is not perfect and things slip through and they are not all rolled out in all countries at the same time.  Just a general FYI.

I did not think you meant to be rude, just letting you know as some people may take the wrong way.

Cheers!

You've gotten some good responses so far. I'll add a couple of my thoughts.

There are still LOTS of sites that can get away with spam and not get caught by Penguin. I haven't investigated this site, but it's possible that the links are on a private blog network that Penguin was not able to recognize as a link scheme.

And who knows...perhaps they've got their bad links disavowed. It's also possible that Google is ranking this site because users tend to engage with it.

Dear editors,

Great point Marie!

wow all of you saying tone and tone and tone. as you all have no exact answer to this issue. any way I think MOZ and Majestic are still in very early stages. As there are plenty of examples I can give which when you all see you will have no answer to it and will say your tone this and your tone that.

take care all....

My friend, there likely is no answer to this issue, and the responses you've received pretty well cover the possibilities. They've come from folks known to be experts, as well. To get more specific would require testing against the site in question, and for that you'll need to hire a consultant.
