As Peter said above, i don't think this is really the work of SEO or intentional keyword stuffing, but rather just really bad URL struture - if anything, there might even be an issue with their CMS if the same directory is showing up twice in the same URL string.

Very weird considering that OSE usually has the smallest link count when AHREFs and Majestic tend to have a much broader data set (which is why if you are doing a link audit, you get as much data as possible from multiple platforms). As James said above, it is more likely that OSE hasn't...

Thanks for the mention Peter. Having done that that entire process in the past and possibly up to my14th link removal campaign, I am somewhat now experienced when it comes to recovery. Have you tried these tools below? http://www.delegator.com/algosleuth/ http://fruition.net/sem/user/login...

Here is the presentation i gave months ago around recovering from Panda and Penguin: http://www.slideshare.net/holidaypointau/my-panda-penguin-algorithm-recovery-story-cheers-tears-and-jeers A couple of my sites got hit on the weekend because of crap links i built at the start of last year, so...

Hey guys, Overnight Google has put a new report in GWT to let you know if there has been any manual actions applied to your website. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/manual-actions-viewer.html This is a great step forward because it has now confirmed that 3 of our clients...

Hey everyone, Just thought I'd give you a heads up when buying an expired domain, that it could have in fact been banned by Adsense in the past. I launched a new website recently and noticed that none of the Adsense units were working. After thinking it was my wordpress theme breaking the...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned keyword density! kidding An area that is overlooked by a lot of people is page speed / weight. Not only can it have a negative effect on your SEO (although small) and Adwords landing page quality score, it can also be detrimental to your website engagement and...

For my fellow Pagespeed fans, the Adsense now offers a asynchronous javascript code. Currently in a Beta stage but available to the public http://adsense.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/faster-more-robust-web-with-adsense.html Not sure yet of the possible improvements in load times as i only saw it...

You have no idea Helloworld! When i started, there was no offsite factors and we were dealing with the big 5! Altavista, Excite, Lycos, Yahoo and Msn. I just happened to be talking about it last night, in the early days we were able to rank websites using a template of jibberish text, put...

Thanks for all the comments guys. It's been a long journey over the last 18 months with Adsense income dropping 10 fold (still enough to pay for itself though). I've been sitting on the data for the past few months to ensure that the rankings stick and all is looking good so far, if anything...

Hey guys, Just sharing the presentation I did for the SEO Meetup group in Melbourne last night. "My Panda & Penguin Algorithm Recovery Story - Cheers, Tears and Jeers" http://www.slideshare.net/holidaypointau/my-panda-penguin-algorithm-recovery-story-cheers-tears-and-jeers/ The presentation...

Although not free, Advanced Web Ranking is quite a comprehensive ranking and website auditing tool. They have a 30 day trial at http://www.advancedwebranking.com/download.html

Helloworld has it covered with the 301 redirects and you already have canonical tags installed on the site, so i'd suggested also setting the preferred domain in Google Webmaster Tools. A quick heads up that you have duplicate versions of your homepage in the Google index (you might want to...

Phew, looking at the title, i thought you were leaving the industry Pete! I do agree with the article. It kind of disheartening being in the industry and seeing the stuff that passes as SEO... and companies are still selling "guaranteed rankings" and keyword packages and then servicing the...

Hey everyone, Just got an email from Pinterest saying they now support schema tags. http://business.pinterest.com/rich-pins/ In their own words: "we're making pins better by including automatically updated details like prices, availability, movie reviews and ingredients." In terms of...

Thanks for the confirmation James. I've also seen a few dodgy SEO companies ranking highly for "seo" and they seem to employ the exact same crappy link building strategies that Penguin is meant to be going after I guess time will tell if there will be another uproar and Google opens up another...

Hey guys, There have been reports that the latest penguin update has gone live. http://searchengineland.com/penguin-4-with-penguin-2-0-generation-spam-fighting-is-now-live-160544 Anyone seeing any major changes in their rankings? I know for a client here, we have the most searched and most...

Hey everyone, I just thought i'd share an article that a came across which gives a bit more data to answer the title question: http://blog.bitly.com/post/22663850994/time-is-on-your-side The article is from last year, but it does happen to exactly mirror what i have read else where with other...

Hi James, The good news is after doing a backlink removal campaign for our clients, we found that a lot of the spammy domains aren't being renewed by the owners, so the links are naturally dieing off. I have seen predominantly this for domains that were hosting spun content and and blogroll...

Thanks to Dave's share, here are some template client emails you can have ready when it hits. http://myopenletters.com/penguin-2-0-breaking-the-news-to-clients/
