Banning due multilingual version of website

seo q&a
Search3w: Dear Mr. Panini,

I NEED MORE DETAILS ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM

    1. When it happened?
    2. What have you recently did or changed?
    3. Why do you think it banned?

You can find some answers for common ban issues here: http://blog.search3w.com/category/seo_questions_answers/

Panini: Dear Martin,

As requested you can find here more details related to our problem:

    1. When it happened? It happened in March 2007 when we dismissed the old website and launched the new one (as it appears now). Google ranked the domain www.***.it but not the main one www.***.com.

The .com domain was previously ranked in Google but then banned. In June 2007 we also presented the multilingual version of our website.

    2. What have you recently did or changed? We are trying to optimize contents and metatags (title, keyword, description) for search engine optimization but the problem of www.***.com still remains (banned).

    3. Why do you think it banned? We are very confused since the website is well structured and we keep updating contents.

Thanks again for your help

Best Regards


Panini

Search3w: The multilingual version is defiantly the reason. Are you sure all your sites are happily grasping in Google meadow?!

This is typical Google filter for months now, so they’re not banning related sites (checked by whois data similarity, too many cross links, etc),
what they do is, if you have A.com, B.com and C.com domains they will show only A.com were the other two B.com and C.com sites are “transferring their juice” (jargon, read nice explanation here: http://knol.google.com/k/randy-zlobec/what-is-link-juice)tp://knol.google.com/k/randy-zlobec/what-is-link-juice) to A.com.

Don’t be so sure your sites are banned, they just boosted another site of yours. This is exactly what BLOGS are for.

You also hit the “Google canonical filter” which even BMW has been banned in the past (here: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/ramping-up-on-international-webspam/), from the same reason: Doing wrong with their multiple sites targeting different languages.

Panini, use my analysis and learn how to optimize your sites for Multilingual & International SEO. Do it right and within 6 weeks you are on the road again.

If you have any questions regarding the subject, please contact us.

Best Regards,

“With me being CEO of a search engine optimization and marketing company that has increased sales dramatically for some of the most competitive verticals out there I can tell you that Elchanan is a trust worthy and white hat SEO. It is very hard to find a ‘trust worthy’ SEO and PPC company now days or I should say it’s hard to tell who is legit if your not experienced with it. You will get companies that will guarantee you top rankings for $X amount of dollars, but from my business experience and business relations with Elchanan I can tell you that he is not one of them con-artist.”

We want to rank better for certain keywords in Google

seo q&aQ: We want to rank better for certain keywords in Google.

Thanks,
Chris

A: Site Analysis
Your major problem is that the site has no “Google Properties” to compete on major keywords (you are okay with tiny keywords like “*****”).

The Solution
To be on Google 1st page for “*****” you need 505 pages (you have 211) on your website optimized for this keyword along with only 12 good links and few social components.

Products like “static site wizard” will solve 60% of the problem. The rest are to get good links and social networking.

Ranking recently dropped from the top ten spots on Google/Yahoo/MSN

seo q&aQ: Ranking recently dropped from the top ten spots on Google/Yahoo/MSN.

Can’t achieve top ranking with my Yahoo Store website.

A: Site Analysis
Y! store is not acting on Google stage as same as non-y!-store web sites. Once you have few websites hosting on the same Y! server competing on the same arena, will heart one or more of them. More details: Y! Store SEO.

What are the keywords that dropped and what have you recently did in terms of SEM?

We are in the penalty box

seo q&aQ: We are in the penalty box. We have rectified everything we can think of. I.e paid advertisements , too many keywords and links per page. We are stuck and want out.

A: Site Analysis
Your site is not penalized in any way. You have inner-links content issues that Google dislike and the proof is this: Go to search page number 34 to see this message:

In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 333 already displayed.

If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.

Ratio of 330 “good pages” (main Google database) out of 53,000 “potentially indexed” is bad one.

The Solution
This volume of web pages requires special techniques of content built, inner-links, webmaster XML feeds and on-page SEO. Call me for more details.

SEO with netobjects fusion

seo q&aQ: My friend created this site with netobjects fusion and doesn’t know about html but some people have said the code generated is not search engine friendly. Is there any truth to this? Is there an affordable option for a home based business to increase ranking?

Thanks

Christian

Thank you for contacting Search3w Search Engine Solutions.
Your website is okay with searchability (for the html part) but terrible with usability.

How many products do you have?
For more than 500 products using search3w printer friendly product will rank your long keywords on the organic left side of Google.

Jewelry is one of the hot battles online, and you must find your unique niche to be successful. Try to optimize long queries only for the hope some people will look for it. They will buy once they will find you. Try Google AdWords (blog) to test your ideas.


Sincerely,

Martin
