Well for some people Google Panda Update in early 2011 brought worries but fortunately my traffic increased by two folds and kept on increasing throughout the year 2011 until February 2012 when I suffered almost 70% drop in organic traffic and loss of rankings for competitive keywords. For every panda update my site used to climb steps forwards in SERP's but cards seem to have reversed now. I am suffering from hardest times throughout my SEO Career. The only mistake I did was to create 6 Google Profiles with links pointing towards my site with exact matching anchor text. I never knew Google will drill my site like this after panda 3.3 update. I wonder is there any way to get back as I don't know where to begin my chase. Even my newer posts are not ranking higher although they used to prior Panda penalty. really worried its confirmed that I am a victim of panda 3.3 and 3.4 but don't know about the technical issues I have to solve. Please do help me out I will be highly thankful by advising me where I am going wrong and What should I do to recover my SERP's. My site is http://goo.gl/14qZ9 Waiting anxiously for your advice.
Hi techfever. It doesn't take much looking around to realize you are over optimizing and I could even go as far as to say spamming keywords. Take a look at this link on your blog page "Watch Geo News Pakistan Live, Geo News Live, Geo, Geo TV, Free Online Geo News TV Channel Pakistan Streaming Broadcasting Web TV Video 31 view(s)" know wouldn't you call that excessive? I do. That same link is repeated 4 times on the page and so are other links. I didn't bother looking any further.
Hi, we have found a very similar issue we hit our seo quite hard last year and were on page one for some big search terms in the marketplace, since the Panda 3.3 update we fell off the cliff. The reason being was all our keywords being targeted had the keyword phrase within the anchor text of the backlink, this was great until Panda 3.3. So what do you do, carry on backlinking but mix in some anchor text which is keywords you are specifically trying to gain top rankings in, its then a waiting game for the balance to turn so the backlink balance looks for natural to the latest google algo. All of your work has not been wasted and it will reappear in time. Also take into account the age of the backlinks, if you have grow your rankings very quickly you would have got hit harder than someone who had built their seo rankings over years. Google is now looking at the age of the links, density of anchor text within backlinks, over optimisation for on page plus a host of other new tweaks. Also look at social signals as this is becoming increasingly important as part of your any ongoing seo strategy.
