jorisdekkers asked 4 years agoI have three main sites:
(http://www.dominateonlinepoker.com) (portal, lots of new content every week, pr 2, 1 year old)
(http://www.yesfreecash.come) (portal, not a lot of new content, pr 2, 1 year old)
(http://www.dominatesportsbetting.com) (sales page, static content, pr1, 1 year old)
Two weeks back, google punished dominateonlinepoker and dominatesportsbetting HUGELY!
i used to rank page 1 for like 10 keywords per site and now im on page 6,7,8 and even further.
With dominateonlinepoker its really messed up as the keywords i should rank well for with my homepage now come up with some inner page that have nothing to do with it
for instance, when you search for free online poker, it now shows the free bankroll site on page 12, it used to show my homepage (as it should be) on page 5
i thought this was temporarily but my serps wont come back, i have really bad rankings now!!
I did ALOT of article posting with backlinks, article trading, links exchanging etc and keep buildign good content (though not on dominatesportsbetting) .. what do you guys think google dislikes about my site all of a sudden?
what do i need?
pls give me advice!

There could be any number of reasons.
I would go here http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Webmaster_Help-Indexing/topics?hl=en .
Any kind of bought links, excessive link exchanges, etc can put you in the dumpster. Linking to bad neighborhoods can too.
There are a zillion things really that can cause this. You will learn a lot by just reading the above board every day for a while, all the stuff keeps coming up repeatedly so you will likely learn a lot quickly.
Google DOES have employees looking there, and if you ask a question you have to give a link to your site and be prepared for scrutiny.

Bonus Paradise, try this:
Redirect to www (htaccess redirect)
Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all requests coming in to domain.com will get redirected to http://www.domain.com
The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed)
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]arkGreen”>Please REPLACE domain.com and http://www.newdomain.com with your actual domain name.
Note* This .htaccess method of redirection works ONLY on Linux servers having the Apache Mod-Rewrite moduled enabled.
I got this code from:

I just want to thank LandofOz and all others here for advise and comments
I fighted a bit around today on my site Online Kasino Portal
but figured this htaccess out .
And I learned also that i had my internal links total mixed
I had the whole URLs addes , not only the path
and there i had some URLs with and some without www
so I think this was sure not the best thing
lol
I think I have now all changed correct
and i checked also the redirect and it seems to be fine
Many thanks again everyone
I am glad to be a member here with so many great people.
Have all a nice weekend

PR is a ruse by google to pull the wool over SEO’s eyes surely? ‘online casinos’ google search has PR2’s on the first page…

Dank je wel Elgoog
you just made me feel so much better my friend
Have a good night :hattip:
elgoog answered 4 years ago
but choose the one u used yourself mostly to point to your site
and make sure you use it that way to link to your home from other pages and sites, and get others also to link to you with the proper url.
2. apache server is fine to do the .htaccess
don’t worry to much about this issue
e.g. capeuro.com and asop.com are also reachable with and without www and don’t seem to have a problem….lol
Bonus Paradise answered 4 years ago
add the site to google webmastertools/sitemaps
in there you can at least tell google what your preference is
In google webmaster tools they ask there for preferred URL
and i did choose the www option
I am not having this google sitemap yet, oops
Sorry, feeling already bad against myself
have so much to do and to learn and feel all takes so long, lol
Somehow i feel sometimes i just dont know where to start and where to end
lol
Many thanks for the advice elgoog

You guys are all so great
Hope to meet many of you soon in person.

Bravenet my hosting did reply th following
www mirrors what is on onlinekasinoportal.com. Web browsers will store this website as two separate addresses, though most search engines are smart enough to know that they are the same website. We can not help you make onlinekasinoportal.com redirect to http://www.onlinekasinoportal.com.
What i do now?
I really cant change now hosting!

en zoals eerder uitgelegd kan dat wel/niet/soms of op een onbepaald moment tot problemen lijden…
