Hi,
Very sad story, and I do feel for you.I am a web master and web developer (I run servers and also do my own programming)…in this instance, and I know you dont want to buy another domain name, however what you may be able to do is do a DNS alias or 301 redirect from the new domain name to your current one…I cant see why you would be “penalised” from a develoipment persective…although it does look like every request I look at your site, a session variable is created (not a problem really

too similar anchor text in links – is my bet i have the exact same problem and thats what i am trying to fix – it is said that wait 60 days after fixing and it automatically corrects – this is not a paid links thing its anchor text over optimization.

Hi
I’m in a similar situation. A nice clean website with 100% original content, no black hat tactics, for a waterpolo club in France (not even a business website). Reconsideration requests are useless. People in the google webmaster forum … useless as well … I used to be a Ggle fan, but now, my search homepage is Bing, because I’m sure they’ll show me all the relevant results. I understand they try to fight against spamdexing, but it seems there’s a lot of collateral damages !

Google sucks. Google Webmaster forum sucks.
gazzerman on March 16, 2012
Im in the same boat, but I notice you are still link exchanging with teenchat.com
Oh and I agree, screw Google webmaster forums, they suck

Someone told me the whole google penalty thing is made up for adsense. Its a way to force webmasters to spend money on there adsense. Also a great way to pit webmasters against each other. I don’t really know what it is. I do know that I will continue to fight for my site and become less dependant on google. Google will eventually have there day. You cant be king forever. If this is about forcing webmasters into using there adwords then thats a real shame.
swtsinamon66 on March 16, 2012
The sad thing is I really take care of my site. When all this went down I didn’t know. Once I did I tried to make it right. For over a year and half I have done everything possible with no result. Google doesn’t tell you anything. Everytime i submit a reconsideration its the same thing. Matt says they dont tell the bad guys why there site has been penalized….I guess according to google I am the bad guy. I have spent more money fixing things in my site then my site is even worth for google

I feel sad for you. Now Mat Cutts and some Google guys are doing stupid things against paid links. In past you could get penalized for only the links you make from your site. But now you can get penalized for incoming links from other sites. Its stupid. Anybody can make any harm to any site. Google webmasters forum is a zone for non helping guys and I think they get money by releasing penalty. And I am sure many of them have a tie up with Google for lifting penalty by making a bill of 10K

I have submitted at least 10 reconsideration requests with no result they are always the same automated response…. Ive given up on reconderation requests.
theSEOguys on March 16, 2012
Why not put in a request for reconsideration? Tell that what you did, you won’t do it again, and explain your case. See the video below your in the the search “Request for reconsideration”
swtsinamon66 on March 16, 2012
Bottom line is I wont delete my domain because google wants me to. The users love the site, yahoo loves the site and bing loves the site. Only google hates it…sad:(
swtsinamon66 on March 16, 2012
Whats really terrible about this whole penalty thing is the answer is to get a new domain. Get a new domain and the penalty is done. Its sad really, People try to make a living on the internet and you have a search engine like google penalizing them with no warnings. Boom your just screwed….deal with it. Were google and thats just the way we do things. I have even tried contacting matt cutts again with no results. Yet a competitor ranked on my site on his blog. He wouldnt even let me defend it
swtsinamon66 on March 16, 2012
I have spent over a year doing everything possible to remove this penalty. Nothing works, I submit a reconsideration and I get the same auto response everytime. There really isn’t anything more I can do to fix this. I have fixed the code in the site, took all 3 of my sites and made them 1, no paid links….and yet I am in no better place then I was when they penalized me. Its a shame that google doesnt recognize actual webmasters that want to follow there guidelines. Its all a shame,not way out

You site needs to have a good onpage optimization process. I hope it helps.
war3ro on March 16, 2012
I’m in the same situation, but with more than a website, with a network of websites for more than a year. I’m with my main keyword on page 5-7, first on yahoo and bing. Just an advice if you only got 1 website maybe you can just move it to other domain, like branding change. If nothing seems to work, and won’t cause so much trouble.

@TubesMaster Done
Just search “Matt Cutts Dinosaur”
MrTiggerito on March 16, 2012
You do have a little bit of control. Blogs almost always include the date of the blog on the page which encourages Google to include the date in the snippet.
If you remove the date from your page you can reduce the chances of this happening. It may also reduce Googles feeling that the page/blog goes stale over time.

Haha, dinosaur Matt

@infiltrator7777 Er, they are the best search engine so know what they are talking about. Tomorrow maybe a better search engine comes out, until that time they are the best because they display the best results.
adithecool on March 16, 2012
@infiltrator7777 Correction: Google telling us how they like to run “their” search engine! And to be honest, they are right!
BOBXLII on March 16, 2012
@infiltrator7777 No, they’re not telling anyone how the web should be. They’re just telling people how their search engine works. So, if you want your website to appear favorably in their search engine, you can take notice. If not, then you can ignore it.
