I have a site that was on page 1 (using good on-page SEO and original content) until the server went down for about 4 days. Then it ended up on page 3 then disappeared. After the server came back up, I re-submitted to my facebook page, bookmarking, etc. It re-showed up on page 3.

I checked the top sites in competition for the keyword I want to rank for. The top site has 2,000+ backlinks, mainly from 2 PR4 blogs (their link is on the side-bar). The site in #2 spot shows about 24 links which mainly do not work (the link page only states that the site is no longer valid or something like that). The sites after that show around the same number of links - including my ezine article in spot 4-5 of page 1.

I update the site every 4-5 days.

I have 2 ezine articles linked to it (1 on page 1 for same keyword and one on page 2 for another keyword) and about 20 other articles pointing to the site and the ezine articles from about 9 other top directories. Articles are spun a bit.

I have sitewide 1-way links from a PR4 blog, PR5 blog and a PR 6 blog. These links are newish, less than 1 week. I have comments to blogs, PR 0 and up, both follow and no follow, directory submissions (url, not article), RSS feeds, etc. So now my site has fallen to the bottom of page 4.

What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated. I did not post the url for obvious reasons, but if anyone can help I would pm it or do whatever it takes. Thank you.

  • Website ranking is in most cases a complicated issue because of the way the internet is. One thing you should note is that hundreds or thousands of people are doing the same thing you are doing - updating their sites in order to rank well in the search engines and also using all ways to build backlinks. To make things more complicated, the search engines are also always changing the algorithm used in ranking the sites in the search engine results.

    In addition to what you are doing, you need to also always check that all your site pages are still in the search engine index, especially Google. The search engines are robots. They function through automated means. Therefore, at anytime, anything can go wrong with the way they rank the websites.

    Just keep doing what you are doing - frequent update, link building and writing relevant content for keywords for which you want to rank for.

    You are not doing anything wrong. Just keep building links and your site will come up. It may take few days. I have also faced same situation and this is completely natural.

        Hi,

        Don't allow your server to get down, check your site twice a week, cross check the postings to avoid from spam. For more information contact the seo analyst.


        Thanks;
