Hi guys!
Lately I have many issues with Google US search results with some of my websites.
One of them is using wordpress and a plugin that grabs product id's from amazon and presenting them under my pages.
I initially launched my website using exact data as they were fetched by amazon pages and I saw that my domain was in first page for related keywords just 1 week after going live(my domain is a two word product keyword).
Traffic wasn't great since keyword is not so high in searches but I was "lucky" enough to make 2 sales in just 10 days.
Those sales got my attention and decided to add some more content on my website so I begun replacing amazon default description with my own unique one.
I started this 3 weeks after being live and hitting 5th place in google 1st page for the US.
One week later, 1 month in total, and after I 've created 4-5 unique product descriptions I was blasted by google and got my website off their search results completely.
Now its 2 months later and even though my website is indexed and can be found in google results if searched as site:mydomain.com I still can get anywhere near 1st page not even page 10...
Do you feel that I m still sandboxed or penalized or even both?
If so do you think that the reason was using amazon product and content?
Last but not least do you think that having custom content but keeping same business model being an amazon affiliate will improve my results and let me get my old rankings?
