Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - is there any way to tell if one of your sites has been penalized

Used to be, things like this would happen, but then you would come back.

Nowadays, coming back from the netherworld seems less common, particularly for porn sites.

Why? Who the fuck knows, really. I got my theories, and they are all probably wrong.

I'd say the thing most likely to pull it up from the bottom are some true oneway links from 'outside' - from either someone who hasn't been pushed down, and with whom you do not already trade, or links from the sites that are in the "authority circle" - which is basically the famous non-adult-BUSINESS sites.

But true oneway links from almost anywhere outside have a chance at least of making it bounce up.

Still, if it just happened, it's usually too early to tell that it WON'T bounce back up on it's own.

Which puts one in a catch22. You could wait, and maybe it bounces up on its own with some future update. Or try to fix it, and maybe make it worse, or use up resources that you'll wish you had later.
