I need your advice, I had a site that was ranking on page one in google and is no longer ranked. Well it is but it's on page 22 for my keyword. I think my root domain got penalized because the page that is ranked is actually just a tag with my keyword. Is there anything I can do?

      zachcrawley: I don't think it's doing the google dance, It's been like that for over 2 weeks. My sites that were dancing positions only last a day or two and generally come back ranking higher than before the dance.

      Mike: Never thought of that, def. worth a shot. Thanks!

      Bruce: My home page has a few article that are all unique.

    can you consider putting unique content on the page? as obviously googles recent changes are about making their searches provide real value to visitors, and it must assume that your site isnt doing this?

    You need to give way more information than that. How many keywords WERE you ranking for? Did you change ANYTHING? Did you get a bunch of links? How old is the site? Are you on a shared server? Are you buying links or do you have links that are spam?

      Site is only a couple months old. My domain was ranking 1st page for 1 keyword and page 3 for my second keyword. Didn't change a thing to the site, other than adding an article or two. Both keywords are no longer ranked.

      As for backlinks, I did purchase a 1,000 profile backlinks and tried out textlinks.com for 25 free links (maybe a bad idea). Built a few spam links I guess but that has never been a problem with my other sites. Yes I'm on shared server.

      My only guess to why I got penalize is maybe the services from textlinks.com right now

    Just wondering if you have managed to get out of the situation? Does noindexing the tags work for you?

    Just supply real content to your page and I bet google will fix the problem fairly quickly. Good luck on fixing said problem.
