IAWTI Web Directory

Over the past several years, the IAWTI Web Directory has been providing links for web users to help with Search Engine Optimization.  During those years, IAWTI Web Directory had been a highly ranked and respected member of the Web Directory community.

Recently, Google deindexed IAWTI Web Directory from search engine results and stripped the domain of their page rank, as part of the their 2012 Search Engine Algorithm updates.  This effectively removed any value (for search engine purposes) to any site listed on the directory, and in fact, actually hurt sites who had listings in the directory.

IAWTI Web Directory had over 80,000 sites listed in their directory.  Many of these sites received notices from Google that they had “unnatural links” and were penalized in the search engine rankings.  As soon as this began to happen, IAWTI Web Directory received many, many requests per day to remove sites from their directory.  This overwhelmed the part-time staff of the site and the requests for link removal were ignored.

Two Search Engine Optimization companies were having a discussion one day and the topic of the IAWTI.ORG site came up.  Both agencies had multiple clients with links on the IAWTI.ORG site and were getting no response from that organization.  After discussing the issue and facing the prospect of having to deal with the same issue with new clients, the Two sister firms partnered together to purchase the IAWTI.ORG domain in order to solve this issue once and for all.

For years, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has been a process of “tricking” Google into thinking that your site is important for a particular set of keywords.  Since the middle of 2012, Google has set out to reduce the amount of “Search Spam” that is present in their search engine results.  To this end, Google released the “Panda” and “Penguin” Search Engine updates in 2012 and the most recent “Penguin 2.0″ update in 2013.

The results of these updates are that the “rules” have changed.  Trying to get high rankings in Google by placing lots of links on the internet with your keyword as anchor text no longer works. In fact, it has the opposite result: It gets you penalized.  The result is that many business owners and individuals have created sites that no one visits.

Hope is not lost

But, please understand that all hope is not lost.  Employing a quality Internet Marketing firm can help you do the RIGHT things to get you the traffic you need for your business.  To rank highly in Google, there are a large number of factors to be considered and many tasks that need to be completed.  It starts with choosing the right products/services, choosing the correct target audience, connecting with social media in a meaningful way, having engaging, interesting content on your site and building your site in the correct way.

Most SEO Firms don’t know how to do this any more.  In fact, many SEO firms have gone out of business because

1. they no longer know how to rank a site or …
2. It is getting too hard to rank a site.

Make no mistake: Doing the wrong things may not hurt you today, but it will hurt you in the future.  If you don’t believe that, just ask the 2.3% of companies that were ranked in Google who lost their position in the search engine with the May of 2013 Penguin 2.0 update. Google continues to enhance and tweak their algorithms to catch “search engine spammers” and Matt Cutts of the Google Search Engine team says that they will continue to do so.

You need a new kind of SEO firm, one that knows how to help you do the things that Google wants … and loves.
