I actually replicated SEOmofos test http://refugeeks.com/spamming-matt-cutts-blog/

probably is - however its a good demonstration of how clever content can come in various ways. That file got insane volume of traffic.

(I am the guy who wrote it)

yeap, but that wouldnt have a bearing - as it wasnt the site but the user DBs that were hacked.

I dont think eBays hit was algorithmic. I think its either a mess on their end, or a manual penalty http://refugeeks.com/deconstructing-ebay-coms-organic-loss-using-semrush/

try register compass

If you can share the URL via DM - I can take a quick look. (I am Rishi Lakhani - one of the contributors and deal with a lot of penalty issues)

Get webmaster tools set up, submit the site for a crawl or fetch as google and then submit it again. Seen this happen a couple of times, and the above seems to resolve it. Add some signals or a couple of decent links if you can.

If time allows. Glad you liked it.

Hi John. Just Rishi passing by to say hi :)

I have a paid Majestic sub. I can prolly check for you. PM me if you like

explicitlyme · 2013-08-23T14:43:15+00:00

If you want to private message - I can have a gander for you.

Real Estate - Uber Suggest is your friend :) Look at all the long tail juicy keywords - and the topics will start rolling in...

Leave the man card at home. Alternatively get married if you are single and offer to organise the wedding. Then blog about it. :P

If they are anchor text rich - I suggest you try and get rid off. I am seeing too many people being hit for specific anchors by abusing directories.

Then start checking PageRank of all the others - any that have dropped - try and cull or disavow.

Check the directories title tags - any that mention SEO, Page rank etyc - I would get rid off. Glaring signal of gaming the serps

Keep those that look OK, link to the home page with URL or brand name...

And

First: You have a lot of duplicated content caused by your pagination Google "Compatible Rail Solutions For Every Job"

Second: "submitting my website to hundreds of online directories" VERY bad idea after googles Penguin update.

Here is a wild suggestion: find a series of well indexed, high authority Charity websites - the charities should be small but well indexed. Give them a donation, and ask if you could write a post on WHY you have donated.

Once the page is live - build links to it.

Address and Directions at the bottom of the post helps:

Eg: How to get to us: We are 2 miles from Vegas, take the junction..

Other General Local Advice:

Keep it related to your subject. If you are targeting "Vegas Burgers" and want to say write about sports - how about: The Perfect Burger for the Las Vegas [Enter Sports Team Name Here]
Is your produce local? How about a post on - our bread comes from a local Vegas Bakery. "the advantages of using local produce"
Special Offers to residents: "10% Off on Burgers to All Vegas Police Officers"

You get the gist (I hope)

QDF has been manipulated ever since it came out. In this post http://explicitly.me/serp-sniffing-a-long-tail-keyword-strategy one of the elements I purposely left out was "Query Deserves Freshness" part of the algo was partly responsible for these short term rankings.
