Maybe the huge number of indexed URLs that are returning a 404 has something to do with it too
And the fact that the link buying campaign was, um, a bit amateurish
recently read an article about Google and spammy backlinks - if this is the case and it proves nigh impossible to get them all removed then I'd consider coming clean to Google, filing a reinclusion request stating exactly what you've found, what you've done to address the situation and naming the SEO company involved and hope for mercy - but first clean up as much as you possibly can.

Maybe the huge number of indexed URLs that are returning a 404 has something to do with it too
And the fact that the link buying campaign was, um, a bit amateurish
To be truth, we never buy any link ever. Also today the SEO people gave me reply of there analysis.
Check following points:
1. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q="nextgenmobileshop.co.uk"&start=210 &sa=N there 199 pages and rest all duplicate (please help us about this what to say to SEO guys)
2.they confirm the links created mostly from yahoo answer, article posting, directory submission, commenting in high PR sites, twitting, bookmarking. And the volume of those may be sounds lots in sort span of time. That cost problem?
3. They also replace some links which are not relivant like Dynamoo suggested.
4. Also some url there in chased page but already removed, some urls are broken, the commenting text sometimes not relevant.
5. Also they said server have had some issues - dont know how to check the server issues. Advice!
6. Some pages thy said duplicate like Nokia 5800XpressMusic Clearance Phone - Cheap Nokia 5800XpressMusic Clearance Contract Deals with Free Gifts from Nextgenmobileshop & Nokia 5800 XpressMusic - Buy Cheap Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Mobile on Contract Phone Deals in UK do these all matters. really?
I am trying to understand where is the problem. Currently we generate visitors from internal pages but not from home page. Some broken pages also deleted from server.
Thanks again for assistance !
>> To be truth, we never buy any link ever.
If you honestly believe that, just get off the internet, because you are never going to be successful. You've got crap links of a sort that makes SEs believe you are trying to manipulate their results, which you are. Whether you paid a 3rd party for them or not is irrelevant, protesting that your in-house team did it for salary just isn't a valid excuse to Google etc

You're being penalised for being spammy. End of story
Brendon you sounds pro in this field. Can you also confirm that is our server downtime effected our site? I got an report today that server down today approx 2 hrs and also this happened previously. Is this affect too much in SERP result?
Thanks all for your valuable opinion.
Dynamoo, good to see you here!
You may want to lighten up on the obvious links and social media links and work on some actual backlinks and get PR going. Write articles for niche related blogs for solid unique non spammy blacklinks and also work on getting one way and reciprocal links from related sites and other webmasters. You may also want to pay for and try a couple of Press Releases but through a wire and not through the typical backlink ones. Also keep in mind to focus on directories that are related to your niche and site, Google is loving those right now if you decide to work with directories as a source for backlinks.
If it is duplicate content, check to see if your site is also mimicked or scraped somewhere. I have also seen when you have a new site, the horrible Google Dance where you get knocked in and out of your rankings for the first year and unfortunately with newer sites and domains that happens to the best of us, unless you are 100% solid with your SEO and work on it daily. Also, what are you doing for original content and updating your site? That could play into it as well.
Just some thoughts =0).

2 hours of server downtime won't hurt your rankings. Gbot will come back later to try again
Hi All
Thanks so much for great advices. Sounds some proper improvement in Google ranking. Still lot to work on. Thanks again![]()
Hi All
The current scenario with www.nextgenmobileshop.co.uk as follows:
1. The site home page came in SERP also some keywords like cheap mobile phones, latest mobile phones, mobile phone offers etc was coming in first page. And every day it goes to 7th page and then again first page and this way still going on. So much frustrating can any one advice whats going on. And how we can stabilize the ranking.
2. Also the back link for the site sound less check link:www.nextgenmobileshop.co.uk - Google Search but we have done so many article submission and all how to increase the back links.
Please advice us how to stabilize the things and to increase the ranking.
Thanks in advance.
Just had a quick look over your site. First thing I notice is that Google thinks you have 27.7k pages but that less than 700 are worth showing in the SERPs. That means there are at least 27k pages which are ranked as being either of no value or too similar to other pages to be worthy of mention. Earlier posts mentioned 404 errors. If you have not done any housekeeping to tell the search engines to remove these pages, they will live on in the cache and devalue your site. As you do not offer a human readable sitemap page I have no way of knowing how many current pages you host on your site.
Hosting your site in Paris will not be doing you any favours. With the geo-targeting, given 2 equal sites, you will always come second to the one hosted in the UK. You do not give a UK address so there is nothing other than the domain name to push your site to rank for the UK. Everything suggests that you are not UK based - not helped by having a VoIP number published on the site (not a Toll free number, even though you claim it to be so). If I can't find anything to put you and your business into the UK it is most unlikely that a search engine will want to put you there.
Your home page has a PR4 which is more than enough to give you a top #10 result, so any shortfall can only relate to poor on-site factors.
A quick look at the HEAD tags - one is missing which will be crippling your rankings.
Your TITLE tag contains too many characters for optimum SEO
You do not have a meta content-language tag which means the search engines will have to guess what language you are using. I will say this as nicely as I can: fire whoever does the copy on your home page. It reads like a very poor translation. It is not written in English as it is spoken in the UK, not by any social class I know. Poor language, on top of the foreign IP address will kill your rankings.
The meta description tag is too long for optimum SEO. You have a non-printing character between 'Orange' and 'NextGen Mobile Shop' - without knowing what the character is I can't comment on what effect it is having on the home page.
The meta keyword tag is too long. The words 'mobile' and 'phone' are repeated so often that you are probably hitting a severe spam penalty.
Over 10% of indexable text is found in just these 2 tags. Not what anyone would consider a summary of the page. Read what these tags are for and use them correctly.
Next to page content.
The word 'mobile' is 10% of overall content - spam?
The word 'phones' is 6% of content. Add in the 3% for 'phone' and you are in similar spam risk areas.
The phrases 'mobile phones' and 'mobile phone' together make up 15% of page density. Try removing 46 instances of 'mobile' and 25 instances of 'phones' to bring the use of these words below spam levels. Start by removing the majority of the instances of 'NextGen Mobile Shop' - visitors don't know who you are so how do you expect them to search on your trading name - and then look for where else you can remove the spam.
The last bit of advice I will give you is to look at the text in your Hn tags and remove every word which you would not yourself use as a search phrase. Can you think of words you would use in a search phrase which are not included in the Hn tags?
Pretty good advice there.
I would advise you delete the following 2 blogspot sites which have been built solely for search engine rankings and have conveniently placed links to sites across your network and nowhere else:
lgmobilephonedeals.blogspot.com
nextgencompare.blogspot.com
Hi Moredial,
Thanks so much for your views really appreciated, we also personally try to implement some.
1. The meta description tag is too long for optimum SEO. You have a non-printing character between 'Orange' and 'NextGen Mobile Shop' - without knowing what the character is I can't comment on what effect it is having on the home page.
- Special character removed more proper we will do it soon.
2. Hosting your site in Paris will not be doing you any favours. With the geo-targeting, given 2 equal sites, you will always come second to the one hosted in the UK. You do not give a UK address so there is nothing other than the domain name to push your site to rank for the UK.

Reason to use too much nextGenmobileshop as previously our site was not coming even in nextgenmobileshop - Google Search but convey the areas to team will make changes and update.
Thanks so much for your assistance. Like you I am personally concern about the content quality.
Thanks !
I have checked with another tool and that lists your IP address as belonging to Synergyworks, GB. I will try to find out why I am also seeing an address in Paris, bd de la Madeleine. Sometimes IP blocks get reallocated and not all the databases get updated at the same time.
What I have discovered is that your www domain is on a C NAME and not an A NAME record. When I request nextgenmobileshop.co.uk I am redirected to the www.nextgenmobileshop.co.uk domain. That may explain in part why you are having problems with the search engines (they do not like redirects and I never hear good things about C NAMEs wrt search engines).
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNAME_record
In effect the search engine will ask for nextgenmobileshop.co.uk and the server redirect tells it to ask for www.nextgenmobileshop.co.uk. When the search engine asks for the DNS on www.nextgenmobileshop.co.uk it is sent back to nextgenmobileshop.co.uk - an impossible circle, so to speak.
A traceroute fails once I get to one of the synergyworks.co.uk routers (195.74.55.177) which may be because of the way the firewall has been set up.
You are also missing an SPF record which makes it easier for spammers to spoof your domain.
Still being reported as missing. The correct syntax is3. You do not have a meta content-language tag which means the search engines will have to guess what language you are using.
we added please check and confirm is it ok ?
or, you can use content="en-gb" to show that you are using English rather than American variants of spelling.Code:<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en" />
Sorry to take so long to come back to you on this - I could not find the thread.
The tool I was using had not been updated since Nov 2009 which explains the 'error' I was seeing. Apparently the geo-location of IP addresses is a bit of hit and miss with most people relying on other people to spot errors and help to keep all the lists up to date.
This left me wondering if the IP address may be new but it looks like you have been on the same IP address since at least May 2009 so that is another possible problem crossed off the list.
Some time back (2 or 3 years ago?) there was a Google gremlin that sometimes 'lost' the home pages of new UK sites not hosted in the UK - no other pages on the sites were affected. I can't remember now if both .com and .co.uk domains were affected. Searches for site:domain just had no home page listed one day and the next day everything would be back in its place. I am left wondering if Google knew the correct country for your IP address or had correctly updated the change of country whenever the change did happen (it is hard to know where a gremlin is hiding or when it will reappear).
