Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Nope that wasn't me

Yeah I was reading about it and its because since not all the content loads for the Googlebot it is going to miss stuff...ugh

Just curious if anyone else has tried this. I have pages with words that link to definitions. I have A LOT of them on a page and I am starting the process of trying to either do pagination (which I cant stand) or even cooler infinite scrolling where the page loads more words as the user scrolls.

Good Bad for SEO?

The less the better

Wow Jesus has 3,500 Facebook fans? ... Sorry I had too

Are you worried about ranking factors in Google related to your name?

Or

Just the work in getting users to like your other page?

1 301 Redirect = Good

To many could be bad

I see what you are saying, I was referring to total links. Not domains

I am not competing against those sites, and prior to Penguin I was ranking almost 1st page on some keywords that I lost.

My goal here is to recover the ranking on particular keywords I had that I lost from Penguin 1.0

I do. I have screenshots and stuff already. I will post them soon.

I have many natural earned links, thousands of them actually.

But I do have spammy rich anchor text links as well that I created years ago.

My goal is to analyze every link I have manually by visiting each one of them. I am going to create a checklist tonight of what process I will determine to detect spam. I do code so I might make a tool for myself that can help me find things quicker.

Like the purpose of this endeavor is to see through all attempts I can come up with to get myself out of the Penguin Hold. I am so determined to do this its crazy

I am willing to spend whatever time it takes even if what I do, does nothing. Then at least I know what doesn't work and move on to the next.

So I have decided today to attempt to beat the odds and try and do a full recovery from the Penguin Update. I am going to create a Google Doc in which I will make public and link at the end of this post for all of you to see.

I am going to meticulously go through a massive back link audit of my site and try to see if I can recover from my loss of some of my main keywords back from April 24th.

I want to clarify that I DID NOT get effected from Penguin 2.0, but  I did from 1.0 and have not recovered since. I have to be honest I feel like I have done everything up to now, but I realized I needed to make this a very long journey into a massive audit into my back link profile which contains thousands of back links which I have been honestly avoiding.

I just want to see if I put the work, I will see the results and maybe it can help others

I will document everything I do in detail as well as dates when I do them. I'm sure there will be plenty of coffee fueled nights of Jibber-Jabber...and I apologize for that ahead of time. I hope at the end there is light and can shed some on others.

I am starting with a blank canvas, so keep checking back on my progress. I generally work at night so you will see most changes in the morning.

Here is the link to my Doc - http://bit.ly/11dUkzc

Honestly you are most likely having a Penguin Issue. Penguin is known to affect certain keywords, but not all. I would take that mindset and go from there.

You have recently lost a ton of backlinks to your site this month. 400 roughly since April 23rd especially from swansonheritage.com

Also look at your link diversity

I wouldn't say it simple

Bad links are going to take some research. What you need to do is find all the back links you currently have, double check the other domains too. Don't assume they are clean even though you just bought them. Someone still could have owned them in the past.

Once can get your back links from several places. Check them all!

• Google Webmaster Tools
• AHrefs.com
• http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/ which is SEOMOZ's

Then you should use the SEOMOZ extension for your browser (I prefer Chrome) which can give you an "estimate" of the trust of those links (I say estimate because nothing is certain, visit each link and look at it yourself.)

If it looks like spam, smells like spam...it must be spam - akums razor

No problem, please let me know what you come up with I would be interested to find out

There are a few issues with this, just depends how you are doing it

What did you do with these other domains. Is there content on the site and links point to your other site, or does the domain name simply redirect to that domain?

Did you check the back link profile on these new domains you purchased. If they had black hat associated with them and you 301 to your site, you just got infected You need to research those old domains you just bought and make sure they are clean. If not then you are going to have to clean them up or get rid of the 301

Did the rankings drop after you 301'd the domains? Get rid of the 301's and see what happens to your rankings. If they come back those domains are spammy

Either way you most likely got hit with Penguin 2.0 which means there is something spammy associated with either the old domains or yours. Don't assume just because you haven't done anything black hat that there anything spammy about your site. There are many innocent ways to do black hat.

Always double check with Google's Quality Guidelines

Ah I see...

Ok on IOS you can't just change someone default search engine yourself through any third party site. You just can't access a users phone like that. Not sure about android, but I am curious about it as well so I will research that too.

The closet thing you can get to doing something like that is with a Jailbroken iPhone but the user still has to make the change physically on their phone.

The first suggestion is by far the closet thing you are going to get with what you want, you force a default search engine but you can encourage them to use your site instead.

Let me ask you this as an outsider, what would encourage me to use your search engine over someone else?

Diversity is the best strategy for back linking. Google likes it
