Google Ranking on fire this Month of May 2014

Here are some recent chatter comments from the forums:

Regardless of the weather anywhere overall my lowest-ever page views at 45.7% of 2014 average with the UK at 37.4% however fortunately not as bad as Friday at 26.5%, what a mess.

i did a small analysis.. i used two of my sites and ranked purely with GSA and 10 articles scraped and smashed one was used. it got hit.

for my one another site i used 5 unique articles, spun with wordai, smashed as 1 articles with GSA.. it got hit but only 4-9 position drops.. not like first one..

so its getting clear that its penguin 3.0

Authorship Still Not Used For Rankings

   "Authorship only plays a role with the "in-depth-articles" feature, and otherwise has no effect on ranking in web-search at all."

Google has been hinting at working on a good guy algorithm that may use authorship and forms of author or content specific authority to promote web pages. There is a good chance that authorship in this form or future forms, may play a role in rankings. Another point is that authorship may improve your click through rate because of the extra image in the search results.

But for now, authorship, outside of the very edge case of in-depth-articles, has no role in rankings.

Google Penalizes Guest Bloggers

Google has gone after yet another guest blog network that is being used by SEOs for link building purposes. The link network is named PostJoint and has gone on record that they are different from MyBlogGuest, which was penalized a month ago.

Matt Cutts confirmed on Twitter in a round about way that PostJoint and likely all the publishers in the network, were penalized. I bet they will start seeing unnatural link notifications within Google Webmaster Tools Manual Actions Viewer this coming week.

Google's algorithms are currently unable to detect the difference between genuine and spammy content marketing activities. Platforms like yours mess with our business model leaving us with no alternative but to setup a complex and labour intensive manual operation. As a result, Google has de-indexed your site.

NO RANKING IN GOOGLE? WHY ?

For manual Penalty you can check Google Webmaster Tools account. Here they can see whether the problem has been detailed within the account and what the solution is.

"... It could very well be the case that, 'hey we thought there was some keyword stuffing or cloaking or whatever going on,' and that's a clear-cut case, you'll get a notification, you'll get a message, and then you can start to figure out and investigate, 'OK, where can I start to improve things or what can I change to make things better.'"

--> Start from Google Webmaster Tool 

--> Check your website Back links

--> Analysis your website back links 

--> Filter out all bad links 

--> Try to remove bad links 

--> Check any mail/notification from Google

--> If you have received any mail then you will Disavow your links. 

Google Takes Action Against Greek Links

"Google's Matt Cutts recently confirmed via Twitter that Greece was the latest country targeted for link network related penalties."

The link networks in question were reportedly networks run by SEO agencies for their clients.

It's unclear exactly which SEO agency or agencies are responsible for the link networks that were penalized.

Google has been making many announcements proactively advising webmasters, particularly those with websites in target locations or languages, to clean up their link profiles prior to penalties hitting.

Google Penalized A Guest Blogging Network

   "   Google has taken action on a "large guest blog network" .

In January, Matt warned that guest blogging for SEO is dead, which caused a major stir in the community.

Since then, many said guest blogging has continued to work and lead to great rankings.

Google went after a larger guest blogging network, which may result in lost rankings, penalties and unnatural link notifications. I have to assume that Google will continue to go after these networks.

What if you just do occasional guest blogging? You should be fine but again, with the caveat that it is not done for SEO purposes. Personally, I hate guest blogging but I have the luxury at writing at two sites that have a large audience already.

Dropped Link Factors From Their Search Ranking Algorithm

We stop to consider links in the rankings for commercial requests. Implementation of this change occurs in stages. In the first phase change will affect ranking queries in the Moscow region on a number of commercial topics, such as, for example, real estate, tourism, electronics and household appliances. Later changes will spread to other subjects. We hope that the resources that were used to manipulate the links will now be directed to a real improvement in the quality of the site. Ultimately, this will benefit both users and businesses, and search engines.
