Recovering From Google's Exact Match Domain (EMD) Update

Recovering From Google's Exact Match Domain (EMD) Update

So after a lot of reading I have found that the EMD filter is periodic. The EMD filter isn't constantly running. Google will be using the EMD Filter from time to time in order to ensure that what was filtered out before should continue to be filtered. Now it's also going to be catching EMD's that it missed previously. 

If you were hit by the EMD update I honestly would rethink your SEO strategy. The advice of recovering seems to be similar to that of Google's Panda update. But if your stuck in the filter already and they are doing there best to keep you in there filter how realistic is that it can recover? 

Anyway I still recommend removing low quality content and wait and see what happens.  Me personally I am investing more time in my primary site and dropping all EMD's unless they have a good PR in which case I will use them as a backlink source. You will only see a change if any the next time the EMD filter is run.

So when does Google plan to run the EMD Filter. They aren't telling anybody at this point, but I would venture to say within 3-6 months. 

Now if you had an exact match domain name and you got hit then you were probably hit the the Exact Match Domain Filter instead of the Panda 20 Update.

Google Cracks Down on Low Quality Exact Match Domains

From Search Engine Land on Sep 28, 2012 at 5:05pm by Barry Schwartz

Google Cracks Down On Low Quality Exact Match Domains

The head of Google web spam fighting team Matt Cutts announced on Twitter that Google will be rolling out a “small” algorithm change that will “reduce low-quality ‘exact-match’ domains” from showing up so highly in the search results.
Cutts said this will impact 0.6% of English-US queries to a noticeable degree. He added it is “unrelated to Panda/Penguin. Panda is a Google algorithm filter aimed at fighting low quality content; Penguin is one aimed at fighting web spam.
This should come as no surprise, as Cutts said a couple years ago that Google will be looking at why exact domain matches rank well when they shouldn’t, in some cases.
Likely over the coming days, you will see shifts in the search results where many sites that may rank well based on being an exact match domain may no longer rank as high in Google’s search results.
Exact match domains mean domains that match exactly for the search query. For example, if I sold blue widgets and owned the domain name www.bluewidgets.com, that would be an exact match domain.
Keep in mind that this doesn’t mean sites with keywords they hope to rank for in their domain names are now doomed. Rather, the change aims to target low quality sites that might be riding on on the basis of exact matching.
For a broader perspective on Google algorithm updates, see The Return of the Google Dance on our sister site, Marketing Land. As for ranking factors overall, be sure to see our Periodic Table Of SEO Ranking Factors.

So most questions are what should I do about my internet marketing strategy now?

So if your internet marketing efforts are focused on making 1 page sales pages, also known as pitch pages this tatic no longer works google will remove it from the search results or sandbox it altogether. I would recommend trying a different approach. For other options on what you can do for your internet marketing needs visit http://www.computerz101.com/

Best SEO Tucson Tips 2012

There is a lot of hype with people saying SEO is dead and SEO is no longer effective not necessarily in Tucson, but around the world at this time due to Google's latest 2 updates. They are known as Google's Penguin update and Google's 2 Panda Refreshes and more.

The answer is SEO isn't dead it's just more complicated and time consuming then it was before. 

Meanwhile content is still king, don't over optimize your on-page copy, don't build low quality non relevant links to your site and much more. It's more about quality with link building instead of quantity. Don't focus so much on keywords, but focus on your topic when it comes to internet marketing

Now if you used to use 3-10 keywords try to focus on tons or for short 50-75 keywords. You have to make sure you throw in different orders for example (Houston plumber, plumber houston), misspellings (plummer in houston), and everything else you can think of that is relevant to that topic. Now a few months ago we could get by focusing on the main money keywords, now it's way to risky to do it. 

It's also a good rule of thumb to make sure your keywords are non-topical meaning ( Click here, Learn More, Visit this site, ) etc. Now it's also a good idea that if your on-page seo copy is keyword focused I can't stress this enough deoptimize it as soon as possible. 

You probably think I am crazy, but when your rankings start tanking...you will be like I should have followed your suggestions and listened. In some cases it is also a good idea to remove backlinks just depends on your situation.

Internet Marketing Tips – Improve Your Websites SEO


Michael de Ceault, from computerz101.com, shared his thoughts on how anybody can utilize SEO (search engine optimization) best practices to increase page views, sales, and your brand.

Michael de Ceault is a professional Internet Marketer, Web Designer and Computer Repair specialist. He has been providing services to many people whether it’s small to medium size business or the everyday person that is looking to be found on the internet. He served as a member of Local First Arizona, Association of Computer Repair Business Owners and much more.

Properly done, SEO can enhance your online store, blog or personal website pages to help the search engines determine what your site is about,”  Michael told a clients of his.

He explains that best SEO practices help search engines like Google and Bing and Yahoo to rank your web pages high in results when searchers type in queries looking for items like yours.
Michael says effective SEO for increasing your sales is generally concerned with two things.
  1. “On-page” Factors.  “An example of on-page factors would be if you provide property management, you want that phrase and similar search terms throughout your content, like in your page title, URL (if possible), meta description, body text, heading tags, image names and alt image text,” he said.
  2. Incoming Links. “Equally important, is getting the links pointing to your site to contain the popular keyword phrases you want to rank high for. So if you want to rank high for the search term “property management”, you would first include the phrase as mentioned above and then set out to get incoming links where the linking text reads “property management.” You will want to vary your incoming links and the words and phrases included in your content so as to appear natural to Google and the other search engines. Google has sophisticated tools that filter out sites they determine are attempting to artificially enhance their ranking results. As long as you get links coming in “naturally”, you can start improving your rankings by making link-getting part of your daily marketing,” Michael tells property managers.
He suggests looking to social sites or websites who are focused on supporting “property managers” for help with enhancing your SEO. He says these are the fundamentals of building a successful website in any internet niche. He also goes on to say there are many other ranking factors, but some of the most important were just explained above.

XML Sitemaps and SEO ( Don't help ) Don't Use XML SITEMAPS

Very odd situation happened with 2 websites when i created 2 sitemaps for both websites. I have been an SEO person to never create a sitemap or use them period. Then I an itch and it said to create two xml sitemaps for 2 different websites. After uploading them to there website directory that was in correlation with the sitemap I then went into Google WebMaster Tools and added the sitemaps for both websites. Less than 2 days later very highly ranked keywords literally dropped from page 1 with over 30 keywords being on page 1 of google to page 2, 3, 4, 29, etc i assume you get the picture. This was for both websites all the other websites I left alone and they are perfectly fine with never having used or implemented a sitemap so it leads to be believe from first hand experience that it's a bad idea to use an xml sitemap. Now I am sure that hundreds of people can argue back and forth about this and that is ok. I just think personally that I wont be utilizing an XML Sitemap again...this one change and only change has costed me hundreds of dollars losted over the past 3 days of my ranking dropping.

Now I can say that it did index more pages faster even though google would have gotten around to it within 3-7 days instead of 1 or 2, but to preserve my high ranking I am more than willing to wait.

I added the xml sitemap on January 2, 2012 and on January 4, 2012 page 1 many rankings/keywords disappeared by the 5th only dropped further back I have since deleted the sitemaps from the web dirs and removed them from google web master tools.

Building Links But Loosing Rank In Google - Why is my website rank dropping?

by PotPieGirl on January 15, 2011

Can You Have Too Many Backlinks? How To Tell

A very common question I get is, “I’m building backlinks like crazy but my rankings are getting WORSE in Google – not better! Why?!?!?!” It is SO frustrating when this happens – especially when you’re new. The “experts” tell you to go build links back to your web page with the phrase you want to rank for as the anchor text – simple, right? Yes, it is simple – to a point. That point is when you ask for help in that situation and folks tell you – “just keep building links and be patient”. That may not be the best advice in all situations – Here’s why…



Another “P” Word for 2011


As I talked about in my previous post, 2011 is the year of “P” words for me (read that post here). “Patience” is one of those words that I plan to incorporate more into my daily business activities and my overall attitude.


When you’re building links and things aren’t working the way you’d like right away, patience is called for. However, sometimes it’s a good idea to be PROACTIVE before deciding our next move…or whether we make a move or not.


When you have a brand new site, it is VERY common for Google to dance it all over the place until it decides what to do with you and you “settle in”. Sometimes, you may fall out of the Google index completely. It happens all the time and it’s nothing to freak out about (and yes, I know it’s hard to NOT freak out…lol!)


But sometimes you might be working yourself into trouble – and keeping on doing what you’re doing can actually make things worse.



About Anchor Text and BackLinks


First, let’s review just a bit before I dig into all this.


When you’re building a web page and you want it to rank well in Google for a phrase like green poodle shoes, then you would build links BACK to your webpage with the phrase green poodle shoes as the anchor text of that link (ie, the clickable words).

So, if I wanted my blog here to rank for green poodle shoes, I would build links TO my blog with that phrase as the clickable words.


For example: To learn more about green poodle shoes, visit PotPieGirl.com.


Got it? (and just for fun, keep an eye on Google and see if I don’t start ranking for green poodle shoes…lol!)


The theory is, the more keyword optimized links like that you have back to your web page, the better your web page will rank in Google. For the most part, that is pretty much how Google works – to an extent.


You can OVER-DO it and start suffering drops in your rankings from having too MANY of those exact keyword links to your web page and NOT having a well-rounded link profile that has all kinds of links (not only that exact phrase for every link back to your page).


For the sake of this article, I’ll call it a Link Profile Penalty.



Are You Suffering From a Link Profile Penalty?


Ok, so now we get what happens, how do we know if it is, or is not, happening to our web page?


Hang in there with me and let’s see if I can’t explain this…


If you go to Google and do a search called allinanchor (the words all in anchor but typed all-together as one word) and then follow that with a :____insert a keyword phrase____, you are asking Google to tell you how many web pages they know about that are building (or have) backlinks TO their web page with that phrase in it.


Still with me? =)


Here’s an example:


allinanchor:”green poodle shoes”


allinanchor, then a :, then the phrase in quotes – no spaces between anything but each word in the phrase.


When I do that search on Google, I will get results of pages that have that EXACT phrase in the anchor text of links TO their web page.


And surprise, surprise, Google shows no results for that phrase…yet (I imagine they might after they find this post..lol).


Allinanchor is a powerful little tool… you can see how many other web pages are working on ranking for that phrase. If they are building links with that phrase, they must want to rank for it, right? Yup, that’s the theory.


However, you can also get an idea if YOUR web page is having issues with over-optimization of your backlinks.



How To Test for Back Link Over-Optimization


When you do a allinanchor:”your keyword phrase” search on Google, look and see where YOUR page ranks in those results.


If you rank about #3 for allinanchor and then you rank about #3 for a normal, non-quoted search…. things are fine, just be patient.


BUT, if you rank about #3 for allinanchor, but rank #23 for a normal, non-quoted search….there’s most likely a problem. You’re over-doing it and Google is NOT happy with you.



Good News – It’s Usually Easy To Fix!


If your web page is still in the Google index, you’re in good shape. Just STOP doing what you’ve been doing and work on your link PROFILE – not that one specific phrase.


Get some “click here” links or straight url links – basically, work on getting links that are NOT your keyword phrase (or even a long-tail version of your keyword phrase).


In the majority of cases where I’ve had this happen or helped others when it’s happened, things get corrected pretty easily. It’s not a FAST fix, but things do come back together as they should and rankings improve as the link profile improves.


Backlinks are very powerful, but you can over-do it and push yourself DOWN in the rankings. It’s kinda like eating healthy – fruit is GREAT, but if ALL you eat is fruit, there might be a problem (too much of a good thing and not enough well-rounded food choices).


I believe Google wants us to be more well-rounded…and the best way to do well in Google rankings is to give Google what they want.
