Thank you for taking the time in reading my thread. I would appreciate any of your thoughts or advice concerning our SEO dilemma.

We have been doing SEO work with our website mazeltovfurniture.com for just under 1 year. Initially, we were seeing results as our pages and keywords started ranking in Google searches. However, after a few months of positive results, all our pages are no longer to be found. Our site does not seem to have been blacklisted as our site itself still comes up in Google searches, and in truth we only incorporated white hat SEO methods. We have continued our SEO work for another 6+ months now, and still we are not seeing any results at all. We are one of a handful of companies which sell certain products we carry online, yet when you Google the product we do not come up anywhere in organic results. I recently launched a new site, without doing any SEO work yet, and within one week we had many of our products on page one of Google's organic listings.

I am trying to figure out what is wrong with our site mazeltovfurniture.com. Is it possible that a competitor did something that makes our SEO work non-effective? I am looking for answers as we do have a really nice site, and are at this point really frustrated why we are not making any progress. Thank you in advice with anyone offering advise or a solution.

    You seem to be depend too much on direct traffic from the search engines. You also depend too much on just the on-page optimization for search engine traffic. You should do more than that in order to get good traffic. Try to do more of the following:

    1. Try to update your site frequently with good articles related to the product you are selling

    2. Google the product you do. Do an exact search. Don't do broad search. Then take note of all the first 10 websites that come up in the first page of Google. From there, go to Google keyword tool and paste the url of those competitors in the "websites url" field (do not use the keyword field). The keyword tool will give you the keywords for which your competitors are ranking more than you. Do that for each of the 10 competitors. After you are done, take note of all those keywords and insert them in the Google keyword tool again. For this, use the "Return my own keywords" option of the keyword tool. Then the tool will give you the detailed information of the monthly search volume of those keywords, competition, etc. For each of those keywords, then write good articles with about 7% to 12% keyword density. Start writing for the less competitive keywords to the highly competitive one.

    After writing all articles, post some to your website and some to article directories. For the one posted to the article directories, make sure you use the keywords for each as anchor text in your resource box (remember that those keywords are the ones making your competitors to rank better than you). Most people who use Google would located your articles through the article directories and from there come to your site. Most article directors are good source of traffic.

    3. Another thing you should do is to get backlinks to each of your pages. Don't just get backlinks to your home page (www.yourdomain.com), but try to get backlinks to each of those articles you wrote for your site (www.yourdomain.com/article1). Within a short time, you would see the traffic coming in like flood.

    This is the best way to outsmart your competitors.
