Hi All,
I have a few sins to confess.
I have an EMD (small search volumes) that I've had for years now. Truth be told, I've treated it very poorly.
Since I first registered it, I basically did everything you shouldn't do:
- WPRobot posting primarily youtube vids
- Heatmap Pro theme
- Hurled spammy blog comment links at it
It ticked along nicely for a while and then dropped off the map and I basically left it to it's own devices.
Just recently I've had a compulsion to clean it all up and start again - e.g. delete all previous posts, install a new clean "magazine-style" theme, load up fresh content (I am actually interested in the subject matter of the site) and then posting regularly on the site.
Please excuse the naive question, but is there a way to tell if there is some kind of ranking penalty that is attached to the site for all my previous sins?
Any other suggestions for trying to start over on this?
