Hello Experts,

My keywords were ranking well but since latest Penguin update of google, they started declining. The declining speed is slow but they are going down. I have replaced the contents, redesigned my SEO strategy and many more other activities but they are still going down. Can anyone suggest me what are I should look after more to stop it?

Thanks,
Denor

    If it is a Penguin-related algorithmic punishment you need to check your backlink structure. I would suggest you to take a look to Google Webmaster Tools, download a list of your backlinks and check if they comply with Google Webmaster Guidelines.
    Just a quick tip:
    If you have over-optimized the anchor texts of your backlinks, it may be the main issue.

      The last 'update' was very recent, arguably still rolling out worldwide. You mention quite a few changes to your site. Right now you are expecting immediate ranking changes from each website change, and that is unlikely. Now, with so many changes being made in panic mode who knows if you have helped or hurt how your site will be ranking.

      It you believe it is a Penguin issue why are you making non-Penguin related changes to your site?

      Add quality backlinks with a diverse backlinking profile. This means nofollow links, non-keyword related links, etc.

      It's like bailing water out of a sinking ship with a solo cup.
