Apparently, SeneranataFlowers.com reacted sensitively to Google Panda, though right before the domain&#8217;s visibility crashed, there are no signs indicating a Google penalty. It therefore begs the question if SeneranataFlowers.com has been hit by a Manual Action by Google.

<h2>Ranking Distribution of the Keywords</h2>
Often a manual action by Google will be reflected very well within the ranking distribution (SEO &gt; Raking Distribution):Raking Distribution Flow for SerenataFlowers.com
As you can see, SeneranataFlowers.com had 26.6% of their keywords on the first results page in the week of 31.08.2015. Just two weeks later they have no keywords at all among the top 39 positions (not even for their brand name).

<h3>Anchor Text  A sign that the links were not acquired naturally</h3>
Anchor Texts of SerenataFlowers.comWhen you look through their anchor texts you notice an unnatural profile: 8% of linking IPs (not domains) use the keyword &#8220;flowers&#8221;, 5% &#8220;flowers delivery&#8221;, 3.3% &#8220;flowers by post&#8221; and 3.2% &#8220;flowers online&#8221;. All these backlinks with such perfect anchor texts are simply not acquired naturally, as the vast majority of users will not use these terms when linking to a domain.

In our experience, based on the observation of Google Penguin in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and the USA over the past 3 years, everything above 2% is about as safe as playing Russian roulette, sooner or later your turn is up. You can click on the “+“ after each anchor text to see all the backlinks using this specific text.

It may be both straightforward and mostly obvious, though many people seem to forget that users will often link without images or text (empty), just use the brand-, domain- or host-name and will often simply decide to use &#8220;here&#8221; or &#8220;click here&#8221; for their anchor texts. Let&#8217;s look at the top anchor texts for a domain with a natural anchor text distribution:
Liverpool FC (liverpoolfc.com): “The Normal One&#8220;Fortunately SerenataFlowers.com started cleaning up their bad links. When you click on on &#8220;Links &gt; Link History&#8221; you can see that the clean-up has already begun because the number of links have fallen significantly:
The Clean-up has begunI am actually quite surprised that SerenataFlowers.com has managed to fly so far under the radar to keep out of the previous Google Penguin iterations for so long, that it took a real person at Google looking into the domain to finally figure out something is not quite right.&nbsp;How do you think they managed this feat for so long?
