Hi everyone.
My site was hit to the ground by the october spam update. I don’t have spam content on it. All my articles are high quality informational posts. 1. I’ve removed all suspicious back-links (16 in
total).
2. Corrected issue with overlapping ads
3. And updated my sitemap.
Still, 10 weeks in and I’m still down.
Was anyone else hit by the update? How are u faring now? Have you recovered? What did you do to recover? Pls share any info that may help others.
Well first of all, did you track down all the bad links and disavow them in Google webmaster tools (I think that is what it is still called)?
Secondly, I had a similar issue years ago and it took about a year to fully flush out all the links. The problem you are probably seeing is that those links end up on other sites which Google then links to from their site, not from indexing your site. Make sure that all back links are hitting a 404 response code (not a valid 200 status code showing a page saying the page doesn’t exist).
It is going to take some time, but you should see things slowly recover over time. If you have a site link, we can also check it.
my website link removed got down from its last ranking before two days how can i understand is that happen because of spam link update?
Perhaps, stop spamming?
