Recent Google Penalty

Posted by : Dexter Panganiban on June 27, 2008 | ; Filed Under Site Updates

Well just want to inform you guys that today I was Penalized by Google. Why? Because I do not follow rules . Well This is just a quick post before I go, I just want to be open to all my readers and followers. From PR4 I am now PR2. Anyway this will not change the content of my site. But I think it will affect the SEO of some of my keywords.

Anyway what I can do. But just a tip avoid doing paid linking at your existing post.

Direct advertisers are not a problem but putting links at your existing post just to earn some moolah is risky and that is what happen to me after 1 month they found it out and here I am.

This is my experiment site so anything might happen.

So better what out what will happen next because I will try to do some experimentation regarding this matter so it will not happen to your site also. To those who email me thanks for the concern.

I believe when your sponsored post seems to be natural and the link provided is within your niche. It will not be a problem.

But what happen to me is I made some links that is not related to the post. That is why Google slap the site.

At least they did not put it into PR0

@ ceblogger

Nope it seem that when they have received pings from different site, it is being scanned and check for link relevancy.

Sad to hear that Dex. Is it because of putting links to old post?

@ snoob

I believe this is the reason, since there 2 sites affected by this, and they both sell links from old post.. and not the new post..

Yup it is true, even PR is going down, the subscriber is coming up as well as traffic is coming up also.. need to work again for the PR

@ Jehzeel Laurente

no news yet? doesn’t matter for now since traffic’s not affected. seems the “visible” PR is affected but not the actual PR…my blog used to be PR0 without those links a few months ago…don’t know why I was penalized but i changed templates and the PR update came…

@ Did You Know?

Yup I got about 8000+ Visitors from Pacquiao.. being on # 2 spot. It shows the big difference as per post of Joliber mapiles,

@ tutubi

Yup we are both being affected by this PR update anyway we just continue to do good post and I believe it will again come back with a greater PR.

yeah, wish it to be that way. i’m expecting an upgrade to PR5 since I managed to get links from several travel blogs with PR5 besides one way links from other bloggers but I got this instead

btw, i will link you up also with my main “penalizedd” blog

thanks…
