    Default Why is my site 3cardpoker.com penalized?

    Hi guys, hoping someone here can help. I bought 3cardpoker.com a while back and as of last week it had been ranking in the top 5 on Google. Now it appears to have received some kind of penalty.

    The only changes i've made recently are:

    1. Add a resources page
    2. Add 6 new pages of content (other casino poker games)
    3. Add an in content link exchange to another site

    I've spoken to a few more knowledgable peeps than me and they can't seem to locate the issue either.

    I have only bought 2 links for the site, both of which should cause no issues and have been in place since the site launched.

    I really can't understand what has caused it to happen.

    Any advice either here or via pm would be great.

    Awesome domain and sorry to hear it is penalized and hope someone helps you out with that. Good luck.

    Not related: I had bid $2K on this domain and lost in auction. Nice to hear (so long as it gets unpenalized) that it was actual person on other end that outbid me assuming you picked it up in same one I was bidding on.
    If you're going to bet US Sports online - I strongly suggest 5Dimes.com or Bookmaker.eu.

    Yeah i ended up paying quite alot, but i had budgeted for more as it was a site i had big plans for. Literally have no idea how/why it has been penalised.

    You obviously didn't accumulate as much trust as the Rakebackmafia

    IMO, this site will be back pretty soon. Could be a really short sandbox effect imo.

    It only has quality backlinks.

    Pretty sure RBMafia regained it's original rankings last night fwiw. The new owner skype'd me shitting himself. We'll see if it holds or was a fluke, lol. Google likes to play with people's souls (and websites) lately, haha.

    Your only 3 outbounds on the index page all lead to pages that have link(s) back to your index page. I don't know that I've ever seen a page with 3 outbounds that all 3 linked directly back to the same page. Looks deceptive to me. Even though you may not have recently done that, it may have only recently been noticed.

    How long has the site been live? How long after being live did you issue the press release?

    What about recent changes in bing/yahoo rankings? Has the site experienced any down time?

    Thanks for the advice guys.

    The site has been live maybe 3 months or so. I released the PR pretty soon after that.

    I will remove those links on the homepage and reping it. I guess there is a chance that is the reason.

    Hopefully like seb said it will come back soon. Pretty worrying to ay the least as i went about link building very very slowly and carefully with this site to ensure it didnt get penalised.

    Not that I know of. For some reason, the site hasn't ranked on either of those search engines at all. Get a few hits from each, but very irregularly. Google traffic is currently at 0 per day

    i think you've screwed up something with a 301 or something???

    run it through this tool: Bad Neighborhood - Link Exchange Tool

    says 'encountered a server side re-direct response when queyering the page. I really don't know... did you do anything recently out of the ordinary?
