SERP Wise: how bad is the panda penalty?
- SEO |
I'm targeting a very easy keyword with an amazon review site (just 600 searchs, and I have an exact domain match, and proper on site SEO). I was ranking in the top 5 right after launch, but this was probably due to the new site honeymoon effect.
A few weeks after launch, as I've been adding content the site disappeared for every keyword I was ranking for. I was ranking in the top 10 for 3 of my goal keywords. I figured this was just the dance, since I was doing some light backlinking. The problem is that the site is on page 37 now, usually the homepage of my site would disappear completely from google during the dance.
I am a bit worried that I might have been hit a panda threshold. I have 25 products each on its own post, with on average 3-6 poducts per category page. Most posts are around the 300 word range, and contain just one cloaked (redirect), nofollow amazon link.
I've since been going back and adding about 200-250 words, some h3 tags, and some styling. I have a few videos on order on fiverr probably going to embed them into the blogsection. I also no indexed the contact us and privacy policy pages, and removed one category page that just had one product.
I am a bit curious as to what SEO experts think this is, and of course any tips would be appreciated.
