@masonworld I have a somewhat unrelated question. One of my sites took a big hit after the Panda and Penguin updates. The only thing I could figure was a high number of redirects of articles from my original Blogger site, since I switched from a Blogger platform to a self hosted WordPress platform. In your opinion, should I get rid of the redirects? Because I went from ranking for over 100 keywords down to 5 🙁

In reply to Addicted2Italy. @Addicted2Italy Ah -- sorry about that. Web directories, not article directories.

hey Mark,
Glad you are back, was wondering when the next podcast was going to be.

Just curious about the cornsheller site, you mentioned you added 500 directory links. Maybe I missed it, were they article directory links? or just directory links from yahoo, those type of directories.

Thanks for clarifying! keep up the good work.

Larry

In reply to linkmoneydotorg.

@linkmoneydotorg Thanks Rich. I appreciate that very much. I had 137 domains at one point. Not sure it is possible to take that approach these days..

Thanks for telling me about the link to Gary’s video. I will get that fixed.

Regards,
Mark

Mark,

You hit the nail on the head with this one. I went into engine failure and stalled after Penguin. Now I’m looking at the big picture and realize I built a daunting network of sites that will likely never recover. So I’m going to concentrate on a couple to start with and get back in the game.

Thanks a lot.

btw, Gary’s Yes Virus video is a perfect reference also. Your link is not the right one, but I figured it out.

All the best.
Rich
