| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | Lysis | 5/12/12 1:08 PM | What are you talking about "PPC clickers are not buyers?" You couldn't be more wrong. PPC is a finicky animal. It really takes some special talent to do it right. My suggestion is to get an expert to handle the ads, because you're not doing it right. |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | Panda_Effects | 5/12/12 1:12 PM | I have seen it over time where PPC clicks become less and less reliable as if many are just clickers (click fraud). They can do that using multiple ip etc. addresses. And would not surprise me in the least if the companies who have those Pay Per Cl |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | webado | 5/12/12 1:55 PM | Links involved in PPC should NOT be pagerank passing links. They should use rel="nofollow" or be opened exclusively in javascript similar to Adsense. Therefore they have no bearing on SEO whatsoever. But of course if you bought Adwords or something |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | fathom | 5/12/12 2:07 PM | I did not look BUT if that domain isn't devalued for providing webspam you can be 100% sure your problems are not associated with that. To be clear... Google doesn't punish sites that receive links while giving sites that offer links a free ride. |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | seo101 | 5/12/12 2:10 PM | You are not the victim of negative SEO except in your own head. Take of the tin foil hat and stop believing in conspiracies. I see plenty wrong with your site which is more than enough to be affected by iterations of the Panda and Penguin algorithm |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | StevieD_Web | 5/12/12 2:38 PM | But it is soooo much fun blaming others. |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | HSingh | 5/14/12 1:15 AM | Dear SEO101, The content of my website is purely for human visitors and not spiders, if such was the case then my website would have been hit by the Panda update about 6 months back but it was fine in terms of rankings up-till la |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | seo101 | 5/14/12 1:27 AM | As long as you continue to be in denial your site will languish in mediocrity. Your choice. |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | fathom | 5/14/12 1:45 AM | No need to justify things... you just need to listen. You are cross linking 3 domains that are MOST LIKELY gaming Google. I know you'll say "no the links are so customers at one store can go to the others stores". ABSOLUYELY BRILLIANT! Add rel="nofol |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | HSingh | 5/14/12 5:16 AM | Dear Fathom, Thanks for your response, I have started implementing your suggestions. I will either remove the links from my other domains or will convert them to rel="nofollow". Like everyone else I am providing my point of view, I |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | GordonP2 | 5/14/12 5:41 AM | H Singh, The problem with Googles automated processes are that they are automated. If the robot finds to many x's in tick boxes, it hits you. its nothing personal and its usually far better to get looked over by a robot than by a human..... I would r |

| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | ShopSafe | 5/14/12 10:44 AM | Hello HSingh, :) Following on from Lysis;, Panda_Effects' and GordonP2's good advice, when reading http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66356 you should consider any links to your site which you may have paid for which are |

| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | ShopSafe | 5/14/12 10:54 AM | (Somehow my original question disappeared when I had to delete for an edit. Sorry if this sounds convoluted). Is the Garden Furniture site the only site that is referring links to you? Have you checked your raw site logs for referring hosts that seem |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | fathom | 5/14/12 3:20 PM | I love the double talk! Since he didn't paid himself he could conclude that linking to himself is acceptable? He can easily conclude that he didn't add the links to his own domains for PageRank purposes... so these must be OK. Since these are his own |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | ѕquibble | 5/15/12 12:38 AM | I see nothing wrong with linking to your other sites. I do exactly the same. I really doubt you will recover immediately after Google recrawls - obviously I hope you do !, but if you dont then I would look further into matters. |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | HSingh | 5/15/12 1:23 AM | Dear Fathom, I have removed all links completely from my other domains which were pointing to http://classicteak.com. I have another doubt, My other website http://classichomeproducts.com/ which I had created to combine my old websites ht |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | fathom | 5/15/12 1:56 AM | Please don't view this as accusations - they are not. First - a "paid link" is any link that does not offer review or editorial value. We call them reciprocals, traded links, 3-ways, n-ways, comment links, article links and so on but the gist of the |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | GordonP2 | 5/15/12 2:04 AM | I second Fathom, no-one is saying you paid for anything. Quite the opposite. This is why I pointed out was that your dealing with a computer, If something looks like a scheme, then to a computer dealing with 1's and Zeros, it is a link scheme. The in |
| Re: How negative SEO ruined our rankings and Sales | Pelagic | 5/15/12 2:33 AM | Your link profile is not good, and yes you did actually operate a reciprocal link scheme up until at least 2008 ! |
