Can Someone Help Me Re-Rank My Site?

Hello,

I have been following to the "T", well almost, a WSO from a very well-respected Warrior here on the Forum. I began work on the following product review site in Late January:

Best Wine Cooler Reviews - Consumer Complaints and Feedback

this was my heavy hitter. i was ranking between #3-5 for most of my long-tailed keywords i was targeting like "best wine cooler review", "top wine cooler review" etc. it was nearing page 1 for keywords like "wine cooler review" and "top wine cooler" and was #22 for "wine cooler" (probably the most compeitive keyword for this niche.

i was getting around 45 unique visitors per day and made $110 in the month of April. i even successfully convinced a female i'm sure, to buy 2 pairs of $65 work heels (black and brown) from Amazon. man i was on a roll

I thought for sure this site had successfully passed through the google dance process as it was atop, well amost atop the SERPs steady for over 2 months. then on April 25th, my site dropped off the grid. it is no longer rated whatsoever in google.

I am not the type who craves positive re-enforcement and "don't worry it'll reappear" pats on the back but i am getting concerned that after nealr 1 month, it hasn't reappeared in the Google SERPs.

I'm just looking for suggestions or ideas.

I had been adding new content and my backlinking process consisted of .edu blog commenting, commenting on blogs in my niche (both high pr and what have you), submitting between 1-3 strong quality articles per week to ezine, goarticles, article alley, articleclick and isnare (getting around 1-5 pingback requests per submission) and i even created a hub page account and had a couple pages from that.

Possible Red Flags:
-had a 3waylinks (jon leger) account of which i cancelled 3 weeks ago but i felt it was doing nothing for me and costing me good money per month. plus looking back on the backlinks it gave me, only 5 backlinks of pr2 or higher were listed. i feel i can create that in about 2 hours for free. i dont need to pay $47 per month for production like that.

-purchased a handful of WF offers of backlink packages including .edu, high pr, etc. surprisingly of the estimated 50,000 backlinks promised by many of these offers, to date i believe only around 100 are actually indexed on my site. score :confused:

everything else has been consistent. again guys i would greatly appreciate constructive criticism and feedback.

    It's a common thing for a site to disappear for a month or two, and then magically come back. Keep building links, is all i can advise you right now

    Just keep link building and adding content, you will be back in about a month. This happens all the time to my sites, you have to wait about 6 months before you are in the clear.

  • Sounds like your site has been sandboxed. Just continue to build high quality, dofollow backlinks from a variety of different domains and it will climb back up.

    You need to just keep on building links that are high quality. It sounds like you might have bought some spammy link packages (xrumer etc.) for those 100k links, and if you directed that straight to your money page then that could be a problem.

    If only all of the backlink providers understood SEO

      The only thing I see...I would layout the website differently.

      If you look at how many times your home page says "best wine cooler reviews", it seems almost "stuffed" with that keyword. Obviously these are linked to other posts, but each post begins with that, and looks...well, "stuffed"! Then add the fact that each post snippet has "wine cooler" in it as well...

      I could be wrong though. I guess you could just wait for the Google dance to do it's thing. But if you can't find it ANYWHERE on the web anymore, you need a change, right?

      I think the linking was a obvious red flag as well, but not that you can't bring the site back.

      So, would you agree that all that one needs to do to knock his competitor's money page out of the #1 spot would be to start up Xrumer and blast that competitor's site with thousands of links?!
      Boy, wouldn't that be nice... if it were only that simple! Xrumer backlinks work very well, especially with older, established websites.

      Yes, I agree: it would be nice if all backlink providers understood SEO

        Lol....good point.

        Okay, forget my linking comment. I think you definitely need to change the layout.

    I agree with JRCarson - it does look like your site is 'stuffed' with certain key phrases. According to my SEO Quake toolbar (a good free tool by the way) you have a keyword density over 10% for "wine cooler". This may make your website look spammy, which could have had a negative effect on it's rank.

      what is the ideal keyword density to be at? i've heard 4% is decent.

      i followed the WSO to the T so this is what i was instructed but if it's not working as prescribed, maybe it's time fior a little experimentation
