From #2 to #300 in Google - Please Help
- SEO |
For over a year, I was ranking between #2 and #4 in Google for a keyword relating to a piece of exercise equipment. Last week, I noticed that the particular keyword I was ranking for fell to #300 in an instant. There were also 2 other keywords from two other separate pages that were ranking on the second page of Google that fell to over 100.
I didn't have many backlinks pointing back to the keyword in which I was ranking highly for. In fact, I only had two from pages such as Squidoo and Ezine. The only thing that I did was to hire the services of a certain company to boost the backlinks to one of my other pages for a certain keyword. Since then it seems that my whole site was affected in Google. I'm still ranking OK in yahoo and Bing, but it seems that Google has slapped the sh** out of me for some reason.
Something else that I've noticed is that some of the other websites that are on the first page of Google for that particular keyword aren't even optimized for it. The keyword is not in their URL's, Title, Description, or even in their content, yet they are on the first page. What is going on? My site is highly relevant yet I'm now at #300 and penalized for something that I can't understand.
My site is highly relevant to the subject with original content that I wrote. In my opinion, it provides very useful information and reviews to the reader with over 800 words per page.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
P
