Hey,

I've always maintained a #3-#7 rankings, but recently, I've been dropping down the rankings even though, I recently got myself 20k worth of Backlinks and I almost update my Blog twice a week. Yet, I have no idea why I'm not ranking higher than I am. I've checked all the other Blogs and sites in my Niche and I have better and more content than them. The only factor they have is they're domain age.

Any help would be appreciated.

      Around, 5 months.

      There was a recent Google update that has effected rankings. You may be experiencing the results of the update. I would suggest being more consistent with your backlinking and varying or anchor text.

    This doesn't mean anything if they are poor quality spammy backlinks.
    In my opinion you would be far better off focusing on 50 high PR backlinks than 20,000 low quality ones.

      Nope, in my previous SEO Jobs, it's always better to vary your Links. The 20k, would do much more benefit to my site. My next campaign will be EZA, to get some quality links.
