The good news are that is December and reconsideration requests will be processed faster, but I doubt that most of the sites will be reindexed since they also skim the traffic or opens popunders. The truth is that users landing from google wants to see the content that they are searching for, instead they are taken to a different page(cloaking).

That would be very brutal and a huge problem since they control the majority of the internet traffic. It would also effectively more or less kill a "competitor" of theirs and make people wonder, what company is next? I doubt this is what is going on, but with Google, you never know lol

We have not had any sites be de-indexed because of an advertisement code - with redirect or not - but it might be that the golden days of blind redirecting mobile traffic is over.

Use Ero-advertising! See sig. :thumbsup

No I don't cause 70% of my traffic came from google and then it's all gone cause it's de-indexed :(

I never skimmed anything and still got deindexed on my main money site. I think google bot has not hit minor sites yet. I also doubt if it has anything to do with pop unders otherwise tens of thousands of sites would have been hit already. Have not heard back from google after 5 days of making site consideration request.
It does seem like the era of making some residual $ by using mobile redirects has indeed come to an end.

more interesting stuff

I don't think it's mobile redirects but rather plugrush itself since my site doesn't use mobile redirects from plugrush but the regular widget but still got de-indexed

I still have not seen ANY concrete proof that mobile redirects cause your site to be deindexed...I just checked every site that I have the mobile redirect on and every single one of them is running fine in Google and getting the same traffic if not more as usual.

Nah, probably something else is wrong. We have hundreds of sites using plugrush, big and small and not a single one has been removed from SERPS.

I have hundreds as well and to my knowledge none were hit. I removed the mobile redirect just in case though.

Does this apply only to sites selling traffic through plugrush? or also for the sites who are buying the traffic?

You make me double lol - first,google been brutal for years,starting from pushing their own sites when searching,censoring certain keywords,removing data based on certain pattern,and dont let me talk about panda and penguin...
For example,years ago there was a big drama lama beacuse google suddenly deindexed almost every smart thumb based site,you were only able to find your site if you typed domain.com as keyword.Luckly,that drama finished after 11 days as then suddenly all rankings was restored.But it shows what google can do.
And second,mobile redirect golden years stopped since new regulations in germany,since then price started to drop like rock from sky.If i am not wrong average price for publisher is now 10$/1k among best paying countries.Or for example,last time i checked usa mobile publisher price it was only 2$ for 1k.


And there is one trick if you want to avoid this scenario regardeless what type of ad you serve:
-dont serve any ad to usa geo,as all google ip which i checked always contain us adress
This might be problem if site traffic is mainly from usa,but still it is better solution then no serving ads at all.

In other words, exactly what I said. If it is what is going on, there would be drama and with Google you never know. Google is a private company, we all know they can do what they want and probably do.

I just don't think they suddenly blanket removed everyone that had anything to do with PlugRush. Why would they? Why them? Why not someone like Exo that is direct competitor?

So far no-one has proved that this is what is going on, on the contrary actually. But I am glad I made you laugh :thumbsup

:1orglaugh dude US has always been crap and while DE traffic isn't paying $25/k, there are still plenty of money to be made selling mobile traffic .

Or how about just not being a moron and getting your sites removed from SERPS and then blaming plugrush for it instead of not showing ads to the worlds most powerful consumer region. fucking lol

To kill monetization of porn, same as they did on Blogspot?

Please don't let this thread descend into a private argument.

Got the same thing happen to me on the 27th of November.

Cloaking and/or sneaky redirects
Some pages on this site appear to be cloaking (displaying different content to human users than are shown to search engines) or redirecting users to a different page than Google saw.

All I got on my site is the mobile redirect, popunder and trade iframe. (glamcorepics.com)

I've since removed the mobile redirect and ask for manual review....

"We'll review the site. If we find that it's no longer in violation of our Webmaster Guidelines, we'll reconsider our indexing of the site. Please allow several weeks for the reconsideration request. We do review all requests, but unfortunately we can't reply individually to each request. "

EUGHHHHH

Might be interesting if to see some of the sites, maybe there is another reason (and i'msure there is..) for the deindexing.

If really plugrush is a problem, that'd kill some webmasters....

Why plugrush?Well that is how it works when you analyze things,you will go with what is a biggest chance to be source of it,so you start removing things till things get better and then you commence further analyze . But yes it is possible how it's not related with plugrush,it could be rule of biggest pie share,for example like when a popular trade/thumb/whatever script get hacked.So maybe this is simple coincidence as there is large number of sites using plugrush.But when it comes to google,nobody is ever right even their reps plus patterns are never 100%(in this case not all plugrush sites are affected).

Indeed you can make decent money with mobile traffic,but providing you have a lot of traffic in right countries.

And when it comes to not displaying usa ads,i pointed that as one of the choices,beside you can then use alternative ad,for example you could instead redirecting usa mobile traffic,show mobile banners plus popunder and in the end maybe even make more money then with mobile redirects.

I like how your join date is new and all of your posts are bashing plugrush, that's interesting.

What is your username on Plugrush?

Then they should just remove all porn sites if they really wanted to do that. And if that happens someone else will instantly be the next big search engine and we'll all party.

Btw what private argument? There is really nothing to argue, someone came on saying that the widgets in itself is causing their sites to be removed from SERPS index. That's fucking lame, especially since they can't prove anything and so many sites aren't de-listed. Someone should start to get control over all the trolls in here, that constantly spit shit out about companies with not a single shred of proof.

Yea, but they aren't the biggest and it makes no sense. Besides, if your site is about to be removed from the index for something as trivial as a mobile redirect, you usually get a couple of warnings first. At least that's what I am told by people smarter than me.

True. I read you wrong man sorry, I thought you just wouldn't advertise to US mobile traffic and thought wtf... and you are absolutely right on the above statement you made btw :thumbsup TeamSkeet does great with US mobile traffic for example when advertised the right way.

You know,that doesn't sound like bad idea at all.Let's ban porn on google :1orglaugh
Actually there is one "hard evidence" way to see is plugrush cause or not.You can login to google webmaster tools,first check is there any messages,if not then request a re-inclusion,and if you get message how there are no manual penalties,then means nothing wrong with plugrush and cause was algorithm update.And if there is manual penalty,then you can ask for details and get proper answer instead speculating.


muh muh

Just placing my siggy here. Don't mind me.

:)

Yeah really, OP starts this thread with VERY little information and still has NOT giving any proof whatsoever.

OP could you please share any proof to your claims? There are a lot of reasons why Google might deindex your website(s).

I thought several people have posted similar experiences.

It is only a matter of time...

:2 cents:

But it can change. Lot of sites de-indexed recently. I got some to. They came up and got manualy reviewed and then it's done.

Is it a manual review?

Oh I know :thumbsup I totally agree with you, Google is always changing but I'm not going to remove Plugrush's mobile redirect because someone who just started posting here starts a thread without any proof to their claims (infact now he's saying that it wasn't the mobile redirect that did it?).

Still looking for answers.

i got hit as well on my small sites :(

i just cheked my google web master tools

Some manual actions apply to entire site

Cloaking and/or sneaky redirects
Some pages on this site appear to be cloaking (displaying different content to human users than are shown to search engines) or redirecting users to a different page than Google saw. Learn more.

Oh so this is really about redirecting huge portions of ones traffic can cause you to get removed from SERPS... how can that surprise anyone? :Oh crap

Can you post a screenshot?This is hard evidence which is is needed-tho it doesn't say how it's plugrush fault,just how mobile redirect is bad,which is more likely considering that is against google guidelines.

Not surprised at all,hell i am more surprised how they didn't started to do that much much before :1orglaugh

How can some people be surprised about that? It's clearly a sneaky redirect, isn't it obvious?

You redirect surfer to a totally different site. It was just bound to happen. Since Plugrush is used on many websites now, the probability was pretty high to hit some of the sites using it.

There is still time for other webmasters to remove these mobile redirects (not just Plugrush sponsor, but rest as well) in order to be safe from de-index. It's clearly against Google's Guidelines and you are just playing with fire keeping these redirects.

Better try banners, pops for mobile traffic or other methods to monetize such traffic.

Wondering if this is happening in the mainstream sector as well?

Mobile redirection isn't limited to adult.

omg i see it :(put your domain after the =

:thumbsup

But is this only happening to plugrush redirects? Or is the "normal" mobile redirect via htacess or php also punished by google. I mean the mobile redirect to a mobile version of a site is being used since years by adult and mainstream...weird shit men....

So on the 3rd, my site was de-indexed from Google and remained so. Today, I received the notice in my Google webmaster tools account regarding manual actions saying:

Cloaking and/or sneaky redirects
Some pages on this site appear to be cloaking (displaying different content to human users than are shown to search engines) or redirecting users to a different page than Google saw.

It states this is site-wide.

I have removed Plugrush mobile redirect code on the 4th and have requested reconsideration today. We'll see how this goes.

it says it man take a while :helpme i got lucky on one of my sites. pulled the stuff traffic is coming back from google.
