Jess,

‘nofollow’ tags are placed inside the hyperlink code, as shown here: rel=”nofollow” tutorial.

Thanks.

Bharath,

I’m not familiar with adbrite, but if it involves text links without the ‘nofollow’ tag, it’s certainly possible a penalty has been applied.

Hey david, I am too having the similar problems which you had mate. I am really stressed out due to this. I don’t know whether my site is penalized or not. You mentioned about TLA ads. I wanted to know if adbrite ads cause any trouble. What do you think the reasons for my penalizing will be. Thanks in advance. Will be grateful if you can help me out.

Am I the only one who thinks f*** Google and their corrupt business practices. Excuuuuuuuuuuuse me, but HP are doing the SAME thing with Logoworks that this entrepreneurial guy is doing, what the hell is spammy or black hat ( who invented that term?) about linking with relevant terms to HIS OWN site. Grreeedy Google has become too bent. Is it because you don’t spend a ton of cash on Adwords? I wish someone or some company would deliver a knockout blow to Google, as it needs knocking down a peg or two imo.

Best of luck .

Thanks for sharing from your own personal experience. I was not even aware of anything called a bad neighborhood, but now I do and will be more careful exchanging links. Ditto for black hat SEO. Anyways as they say forewarned is forearmed so I will be careful about who I link to henceforth. Thanks a lot for sharing and letting us be careful too.

THANK YOU!!! SooooOOOOO much! Im an SEO rookie and have been having some similar issues along the lines of having my SERP’s drop a substantial amount. Although I’m not certain that I am breaking any of googles webmaster guidelines. But hey hopefully following your steps will enable me to once again reach organic SERP’s enlightenment :)

I’ve no idea why, Tomita.

Best of luck with it.
