So by Google slap you simply mean the time when they update site PR?

Thanks for the interesting reading. Does anyone know whether the self proclaimed google slap “Adwords Mystery Solved” by Shariq at http://www.doubleyourctr.com/GoogleSlapSolution/?hop=download6 is or is not in any way helpful to really avoiding the google slap? I know you get what you pay for, and for $67, I shouldn’t expect too much, but I don’t want to waste time and money. Thanks.

Hi Gee,

That’s strange that your website is getting blocked! We just recently upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, it may have to do with that.

P.S.

Amit, for some reason I can’t post comments on your blog using my website link (niche-affiliate-marketing.com) under website URL field?

Not sure why wordpress is labeling my comments as spam?

My traffic went up

What I don’t understand is why my content site is struggling to get traffic and good QS and my one page landing pages somehow survived the slap (at least this time) and now earning 3x more.

My campaigns got a very nice boost of traffic out of this ‘slap’. I say bring them on more often:)

Survived it!

After the previous slap I moved a higher concentration of my KWs above the fold, added a few pages of content and I added blogs, to which I add content to at least twice a week.

Not a lot of new pages, just 5 or 6 pages.

In your opinion is a 6 to 10 page site enough?

Does a Blog help?

Thank you Amit for this opportunity to interact with a real Pro ( you) in this field.

You’re right Amit, it sure looks like we can expect slaps every 2 or three months. It’s good to see your sites are still standing All of our mini site campaigns are running as well, however one of our students direct/whitelabel campaign got slapped, which is a bit confusing..

Everything seems to point in the direction of the manual reviews.

I just want to point out to people that you can put up as many content as you want: as long as your Adwords Landing Page is still simply linking to Affiliate Partners, you will get slapped. It doesn’t matter if you mask or cloak your link. Just don’t link directly: use whatever creative means you have to get around that..

Amit,

Do you think when they do a Google slap they reset your account back to like its brand new again? You know what I mean?

Interesting….

My campaigns are still at great. Maybe this will allow me to get ahead of some of the other sites.
