Hi Warriors,

I am in need of some help and advice from you brave soldiers.

So, I have 56 high quality, hand written, articles submitted to various high PR article directories. When I submitted, and google indexed, they were all on the first, or second page for the keyword the articles were targeting.

All the articles get between 800 - 1500 searches a month. I kept it low competition.

Anyway, the past week I've noticed them drop, and traffic has dropped.

What I want to do is get them back up to at least the 3rd link down on the first page.

I've never had much success with building backlinks. I've got the writing down to a T but feel I am missing this last peice to the puzzle.

I need some quality, solid, advice that will help me move my articles back up the SERPS. Possibly a stratergy that works for you if you don't mind sharing.

I'm not a "take what you can and don't give back" kind of person. Anyone kind enough to help I will forever be in your debt until a favor is repayed. No seriously, I mean that.

Thanks warriors. Have a great a day

    Same thing happens to my articles, I think spanking brand new content gets a boost in the beginning, and also because after you post to article directories your article gets 'featured' or put on a recent articles page that has high pr rank then it gets relocated off that page and fades off into normal-ness.

      There are various people using Squidoo and Hubpages that are able to increase their serps and keep them there. But it's difficult to find out what they are doing to keep them there.

    Building links to your article submissions is a great way to help them re-gain rankings, there are loads of different options which you can use, but truly it's down to you, you really want to build standard backlinks to your article websites, so the normal sort of link building methods work fine, blog commenting, forum profiles, etc.

    Although if your more of a blackhatter, blasting your articles with spammy backlinks can have good results as well, obviously it's your call, but now you've got decisions to make about what method to go about building links to them.

    I'd say use forum profiles or xrumer blasts.

    Try to revise your articles but make sure the concept and the main idea remains. I have tried this and I found out that it was effective.

    This shouldn't be a shock to you!

    I think you're not aware of the recent Google's algo update called "Farmer / Panda". This update has crash landed some of the big names like ezine articles, jc penny and many more. Over 50% keywords have seen drops and traffic has slumped. This is a hot topic in search engine industry and IMO you should research more about it.

    Your bad stats could definitely be because of this update.
