Advise - stuck in a rut.

10 replies
Hello,

About 2 years ago I started a website selling products. After around 1 year I had got it to page 1 for the main keyword mainly through the angela packets. Not sure if they are still about. Anyway this got me to spot 4 - no mater what I tried i found it hard to get any higher. At this point I found Senuke, which got me to spot 3 for about 3 months and then I reached spot one a few months after that.

No around the time of the panda update I woke up to find it had slipped down to the bottom of page one. So i did a link blast at it to find it made it worse. did the same again building 100 or so links at it a day and it just seemed to make the problem worse. at the same time all my other websites went from number one spots.

the anoying thing was I had quit my job about 3 weeks before all this started happening. Because the link building seemed to have a negative affect I figured Id give it a rest for a couple of months and see what happens.

So here I am today, my main website is now sitting on page 10. I tried a bit of a senuke run the other day and it moved up to page nine for a day then dropped back down below where it was before on Page 10.

I guess my questions are, has my website been penalised somehow? Can i recover it? How would you go about it?

The anoying thing is I have like 6k incoming links where as the top two now have around 6-700 each and one has mainly blog post links. and the majority of the other all come from the same website.

I do currently have senukex, Can anyone suggest a plan for me to get back up there?

Thanks,

Net.

    Hi Net,

    I feel ya. I had similar results from a link blast with one of my main money sites.

    Google seems to want more high-quality content now, so focus on that and build your links to that content slowly and steadily.

    Keep persevering man.

      David Henry has a WSO that addresses the Panda Report and implimentation by google.

      He has a step by step guide to what to do to get back up to #1. You need to work within Googles framework and it looks like David has a pretty good handle on what to do.

      I don't have the link handy, but you could probably do a search and find it. It's called "Rapid Ranking Formula"

      It could be the answer to your situation. Good luck.

    Hey man,
    I think it good what @vtotheyouknow said, keep persevering. Google definitely want quality content, quality content is king. What is your website?
    Building Mini-Nets is also a strategy that will get good rankings.

    Spread your Senuke submissions over a few days and use 3 different profiles to make the whole process seem more natural to Google, Yahoo n what not. Posting 100 a day is not natural and they can penalize you for that.

    Also, where you select the categories make SURE you ONLY post in relevant categories, select "ignore" if there is no category for your articles, forum posts, rss and 2.0.

    Hope that helps. Also, check out SEO Linkvine, great program for SEO

      Although SEO is, obviously, very important...I think that if the majority of effort is made on JUST SEO...then you could be losing site of what you want to do in the First Place...SELL STUFF!

      How about getting your product in front of potential buyers in other ways? :confused:

      Articles, Ads, JV's, etc. etc... all the usual and UNusual ways to make buyers aware that you have THEIR product in hand.

        Can these link blasts, and auto-backlinking tools really hurt your site?

        If that's true, then people will do it to their competitors sites.. :confused:

        I used a free tool that was supposed to give me 500 backlinks, and not a one of them show up on my c-panel stats...

        Now I'm scared it may have hurt me...
