My site: Best Bread Maker Reviews - Consumer Complaints and Feedback was started on the 3rd of January. I have 2 similar sites a little younger that are sitting a top google SERPS and have passed through (to the best of my knowledge) the google dance and bringing in pretty good traffic daily. However, this site for whatever reason just cannot catch a break with google. i promote it the same, use the same backlink building methods, but it dropped off the google SERPS 2 and a half weeks ago and hasn't resurfaced since. is it sandboxed? what can i do if anything to get it on google's good side?

    Well - your sites are young as well. I have a site that is three months old and slowly climbing up. You'll have to wait - remember, you maybe going against sites that are years old. And G does consider the age of the domain.

    Hi,

    Your site is very pleasant, clean and simple. It has the K.I.S.S.

    Activate plugins: XML-Sitemap and Google Analytics. These 2 are magnets for Google spiders.

    I saw spams in your comments area.

    Add another plugin called FaceBook Comments. Then disable WP-Comment. You'll stop the spam and you'll gain traffic.

    I saw you use Amazon links. These may not be well liked by Google. Also subject to theft and hijacks.

    Add another plugin called GoCodes to cloak those links.

    Monitor results for a while.

        Hi,

        3 other steps might help:

        1. Use pingomatic.com

        2. Register site at Google Webmaster Tool

        3. Register with RSS syndicator.

        Hope these will help.

        Logging off.

      Hi,

      This is a belated response about Site Age.

      True, Site Age may add weight to Google SERPS.

      However, there are many new sites that have ranked
      high in SERPS pushing down Aged Sites.

      I've noticed that the Aged Sites which lost rank are branded,
      have dominated most keyword phrases, have thousands
      of pages and links.

      How could that happened?

      I've dug some info about it. Anyone interested?

    You said you are using the same SEO methods....but its good to have a diverse mix otherwise the same juice looses value. How is your onsite seo? People fail to realize that thats 70% of SEO NOT link building. Link building just reinforces what you did on your site.

    Good luck

    Hello,
    After reading the post on "West Bend 41300 HI-Rise Electronic Dual-Blade Breadmaker"
    i see some on page SEO that can use some improvement that may help.

    I would look at the following,

    Keyword phrase in title of post is different then keyword phrase target in body, the post is 300+ words maybe? Your keyword phrase "West Bend Electronic Bread Maker" is repeated often, maybe too often, I'm counting 10 times.

    make use of the H tags.
    Title is H1
    "West Bend Electronic Bread Maker’s Features and Specifications" < H2 tag
    "West Bend Electronic Bread Maker Customer Reviews" < H3 tag

    I would suggest to bold the keyword phrase in the beginning of the post, and end the post with a bolded keyword phrase.

    Your site is very nice and clean, I would just go back and look over the basic on page SEO for each post, especially watching out for keyword stuffing, less is sometimes more.

    Good Luck
    jim
