Google Manual Action Vs Remove URLs Request

Image
Here is what happened to my site in chronological order with Images below.... 1, It got hacked and generated 50k spam pages with vigra links on it in the forum section. 2, I deleted the forum section (plugin) and cleaned the site. 3, I added "Remove URLs Request" in Google webmaster tools as shown below 4, I got the message as the URL's are removed successfully and you can see that page count in the index is low, The same can be verified by doing site:http://stockmarketoasis.com/, But there are still results showing 50k pages, but if you click next 100 pages you will see only 146.which confirms that the pages are removed. 6, Later after 1o days I get a mail in GWT that there has been manual action taken against my site for user generated spam pages. So my Question is....... Why there is a manual action even after i had put a remove url request. If I myself has requested a removed url request, then why there is a Manual action and what was the necessity. As per Google&#

Google Floating Data Center

It looks like Google has been working on an oversize secret project on San Francisco's Treasure Island. A water-based data center? Could well be. by  Daniel Terdiman  October 25, 2013 11:45 AM PDT 238 Comments Facebook 0 Twitter 0 Linked In 1.2K More This large structure, which is likely being built by Google, could be a floating data center. It is located on a barge just off Treasure Island, between San Francisco and Oakland. (Credit: James Martin/CNET) SAN FRANCISCO -- Something big and mysterious is rising from a floating barge at the end of Treasure Island, a former Navy base in the middle of San Francisco Bay. And Google's fingerprints are all over it. It's unclear what's inside the structure, which stands about four stories high and was made with a series of modern cargo containers. The same goes for when it will be unveiled, but the big tease has already begun. Locals refer to it as the secret project. Google did not respond to multiple requests for comment. But

Google Clearly Marking/Taging Ads are Separate from Organic Resultes

Image
Today i was just going some research as usual, and i came across that Google Clearly Marking/Taging Ads are Separate from Organic Results. Well this look very kind of Google to show users that the above links are related to Ads and so on they can make a choice as per their needs if it serves the purpose. But this also helps users to Click on ad as its and ad and user might draw their attention to this and click on add. Well eventually this will help Google to make money but for user this be a good Option as this makes a bit different impact on the users to click or not to click.  I guess this is also related to the new Option in the ad-words which is related to the Conversion metrics.  Here are more details  Google Quietly Rolls-Out “In-Market Buyers” Targeting To Reach Imminent Purchasers Below is the screen shot for the same.

Linkedin Error OR its an Upgrade to Control SPAM 23-Oct-2013

Image
Today I was going normal LinkedIn in work and had noticed a change in the LinkedIn operations, mean the website has changed the way it used to work for example previously we used to share links and the title and description used to get fetched directly, but now if we add a url then the url meta is not fetched and also we are not able to share any url. This could be a temporary issue as they might be upgrading system or might the doing some change in the backend part, OR majorly this could be their defense mechanism again SPAM Currently not sure as what is the real reason for this change, let wait for few hrs or days and see if this is an issue or a temporary system upgrade Below are few screenshots Screenshot 1  You can see the loading gif, It take too much time to post a link, and   Later it shows that you have done a post with title as the URL. Screenshot 2 This is what happens when you click the link, and after few trial and   Error and by using the back and forward button on browse

The Google Hummingbird Algorithm OR Google

Image
Here is an example of a Google search I did for me one of the favorite songs which I did not remember as what it was as i  heard it once some 14 years back, i  was only able to remember the tune but i  cannot search in google by humming a song tune and I will get the exact search result, so i was rigorously refreshing my memory to at least recall some words of that song but it was no luck for 2 days cause whenever i used to add the combination of all the words which I remembered randomly the results were not much accurate,  So later what I did is I tried to add only one line of sentence to see all the possible results and had planned to see all the 1000 results to find my long forgot song. In the below screen shot you will see that the song I was searching is ranking at the second position which is very strange, cause if you can see that the words i have used are so generic and are commonly used in the most of all the songs, but still i  got the results which I was desperately look

Google Adwords Error or Different Data Center Data Displayed?

Image
Today i was working and doing some keyword search, below are the screen shoots i had noticed when i had used the Google Adwords Keyword Tool  Suggestion tools with "Sign In" Version and another without "Sign In". I tried all using the Exact match, Broad and Phrase, but in all the results the traffic count is different and is not matching, wonder why there is the difference, i have also checked the FAQ at the top section of the table so to understand as how the data is derived, the only difference was that with "Sign in" option you see Exact match search results and without sign in we have options to select, But either ways the data should match.
