    Google penalized my Tube... What should I do?

    Hi,

    I'm the owner of a porn tube since 2 years ago. It's a wp site with embeds from 3 popular tubes. (I'm not hosting videos) The site was doing great the 1st year, it nearly hit 10k unique visitors daily. But the site got heavily penalized and now it doesn't get organic traffic at all. Now it doesn't even reach 1k (Most of the site traffic is thanks to plugrush) I read somewhere on GFY that mobile redirect might get you penalized by Google, I turned it off(on plugrush also) a few weeks ago with no luck so far. I have run out of ideas.
    Peace

    Looks like duplicated content or pure spam can get you in bigger trouble. No way out of it the way you do it. Ask yourself this... "Does my site provide any value when I remove all the content I have stolen from tubes?" If the answer is "YES!", point out to Google why you think so. They will fix you up faster than you think.

      Thanks for your reply. To answer that question all the videos have different titles and tags (in different language also), but maybe it's not enough(?). I'm strongly considering to start hosting videos, I just wanna make sure before.

        That won't matter as soon as they find out the content is the same as on another site. As you said, it worked fine until they did.

          Do you guys think that Google can recognize video content? That'd mean that there literally shouldn't be two same videos (or images) on the whole internet because then it would be duplicate content. Anyway to add some value to discussion - I have two tubes. One is in general porn and second cumshot niche. Both use embeds, but I manually write titles and descriptions. General tube felt from 4k SE/day to 200/day, cumshot felt from 1500 SE/day to 50/day. No mobile redirects. But I have to say I deleted almost all backlinks I had to these sites because I thought it was fault of spam links. So I guess there are two things we can do - permanently move website to another domain and try it again or delete all backlinks and try to build new ones differently. Otherwise I don't know.

            I really still can't figure out if changing titles and descriptions of the embedded videos will not get you penalized anymore, my gut feeling tells me that is probably safer to host your videos.

            Anyway, i will still follow threads like this to make sure if this is the real issue and video embedding will die soon.

              Sure they can! Youtube has video recognition for copyright issues, Google can search by image. Need more proof? They take manual actions now, too.

                I don't think video embedding is the issue. Even Youtube allows video embedding.

                If your site was de-indexed, its probably due to other factors.
                Post your domain so we can guess why it was banned.

                  Go to webmaster tools and check for manual actions against your domain first. It is in Search Traffic > Manual Actions from the left sidebar menu.

                    It is probably the redirects any kind of redirect is bad. As was suggested, check for manual actions. Then fix what they say needs to be fixed and send in a reconsideration request.
                    But.... I pulled out...

                        Did you try posting to the Indexing and Ranking section of Webmaster Central in Google Groups? Just make sure you put NSFW somewhere before you guve them your url. Using a link shortener is recommended when posting your url, too. You would usually get a reply within minutes there.

                        Also check the indexing status in webmaster tools. If you have less urls indexed, try to figure out why. It is in Google Index > Index Status again left sidebar menu in webmaster tools. Check advanced stats and click on Removed to see, if any urls were removed.

                          I am 100% sure this is the reason you were de-indexed. Using plugrush redirect got a lot of people banned.

                            Everything seems fine on webmaster tools (~1500 pages indexed), the problem is that, when searching for the main keywords my site seems hidden on the last pages of google.

                            It would be very nice if the redirect was the reason, hopefully time will fix it.

                            Thanks for your replies guys.

                              check your inbound links in webmaster tools, recently some shady larger tube were associating hundreds of other tube sites to cp in thier source code. If you see any inbound links not porn related, check the source code of these links.
