Hey all..

I could use a little feedback on my site if any of you fellow Warrior would be curteous enough to take your time to take a look at it! For some reason Im suddenly not getting the amount of traffic I'm getting normally! It might be due to high competition! But for a couple of days ago I was ranking at number 1#, 2#, 4#, 5# and 8# spots on Google! And Bing, Yahoo and Altavista I had 1,2 and 3# spot. Now I can hardly find it!

It's a relatively new site, created on the 11'th of May! So it could also be due to fluctuations within Google!

My site has a lot of whitehat backlinks, also an FB Fanpage, Youtube Channel, a lot of unique content, internal and external links as well. A lot of OnPage optimization. So question is, have I done something wrong so I'm not ranking at these spots!

I've pushes my RSS feed to several Feed sites! I've also listed it to more than 5 directory listings!

My guess to the loss in ranking, is due to HIGH competition, but what do you fellow warriors think?

The site is: Powerseorankerinfo.com

Thanks in advance!

    It's a little long for my personal tastes, and a little cluttered. I generally suggest displaying the main article that you want people to see and then using the tag that forces WP to only display part of the post, the MORE tag or something like that, for all the rest of your posts. I'll admit that I quit reading about the first few paragraphs and just started looking at the pix.

    As far as dancing around, that's 100% normal. You'll dance for up to a month before you settle in, and then manual, quality backlinking will slowly pull you up from wherever you land. Don't worry about it; it happens.

    I think the text in your article needs to be broken up into shorter sentences or paragraphs, especially where text is squeezed into a narrow column. Also, that first image of the Power SEO Members area is rather hard to see. I'd rework that image so the 7 area/icons are big and clear, and the text under that image should be darker or bolded so it stands out more.

    Just my .02

    People do not like seeing chunks of text being fitten into one portion. People click the back button at the first sign they see one.

    When I looked at the site using a free SEO analyzer which is probably pants anyway but it points out the following:
    It looks like the website powerseorankerinfo.com is not doing well on W3C standards, because of the 78 errors and 46 warnings on html validation and 14 errors on css validation.

      Wow - That was a lot of errors! - If there is something google hates then its certainly error - Though mostly broken links! Hmm, maybe there is a tool that can tell specifically what these error are? Though its probably plugins that need updates or the template that isn't as compatible, though I've used one I know produces great results. Thanks for the check!

      I've tried to add some paragraphs to the text, and about the caption for the picture, I've tried to make it bold, but apparently it likes it that way. The picture is actually a quite large image, if you right click and click view image then you'll see what I mean, and it is quite clear! I appreciate your input, so thanks!

      I've tried to sort out the cluttered mess and added some <--more--> tags to it. Was there a particular reason why you looked more at the pictures? I'm guessing because you weren't there for contents sake! ;-)

      The dancing around makes total sense, I had an idea that would the reason, but also the competition in mind don't make it any less difficult rank stable!

      Thanks for the input fellow Warriors, I appreciate it!

    I really do think your site is high quality compared to most; when I first saw the website I looked at the right sidebar (Put ads there!) and I didn't know what to do on it. (Organize it more?)

      Hey there Blue..

      When you say Ads, what do you mean by that? Adsense, PPC ?
      -Take notice there is an Ad already - An ad for my bonus pack!
