7 years old forum is going down

    Hi,

    As i've mentioned in the title, there's a pc forum which is 7 years old. I don't take backlink, just add the original content. In the google, our pages are no more in 1st. When i add a new topic, our link is generally in 3rd or 4th page. What do you suggest me to do that ?

    Thanks

    The content of your forum is not accessible for non members?

    You are still number one for the main term, but it seems your competition grows content very quickly.
    "Home computer" is a very prestigious term to own in any language, but now it is more important to also capture the 1,000s of offbeat related terms which appear to lead more traffic to your competitors.
    Focus more on branding.
    Your brand will carry you long term, but Google traffic is always going to fluctuate.

    Got it but, i can't find Phrase keyword about my domain name.
    There is only 1-2 stuff about my domain name. One of them is your example, other is

    https://www.google.com.tr/#hl=tr&sa...cp.r_qf.&fp=fd163fac9a0ca756&biw=1366&bih=677

    https://www.google.com.tr/#hl=tr&sa...cp.r_qf.&fp=fd163fac9a0ca756&biw=1366&bih=677

    So what do you suggest to find out others ? And what is the other solution for the traffic ? Only create content ?

    Also thank you very much for your interest

    1) Build a GOOD sitemap.
    2) Focus on Social Media, because this is what has taken over and you may not have explored as well as your competition.
    Twitter, Facebook, Networked Blogs etc.
    You can try Tweetadder for example. Advertise on FB, feed blog post into fb and Twitter.
    Whatever it is you choose, it is probably going to be what nowadays people interested in your type of site find your competition through.

    As I have said: You own the main domain for those keywords.

    That was enough to lean back 7 years ago.
    Now you need to focus on being where the average web searcher has moved.

    My sitemap is good, im sure about that. I use social media with facebook,twitter,google +

    Lastly can you tell me specific ways about creating content. Cause, i already create related content. They are original and (popular or not). But i can't come to 1st. 2nd. even 3rd page on google.

    Main problem is In 2010 a keyword 1st. page but now its 15th page... I update their content to fresh but there is nothing again.. Its 15th page.. Should i create new content about same stuff or ... ?

    Thanks alot

    It't not that you have done anything wrong. It's just that you have new competition which has been creating content and links and Google validated them as better results.

    Your site map is ok, but one thing that usually helps is having a few top threads or links featuring the main keywords you are after.

    I see too much of a mix of topics.

    You have a very tough competition that's why your forum is going down and down.

    Do you run a blog? If so, having an rss feed on the side would help, but make sure that you make the posts which are most related to the keywords you want to be re ranked for are sticky.

    He is right. These days we need to work harder to get the same results we would have gotten easier years ago.

    I think you need to get a related topic and beat your competition because that's the cause of your forum going down.

    Then you need to do something to force the general sitemap content to be more related to the keywords you are after, otherwise your competition will be recognized as more relevant.

    You said that you dont backlink at all? Why not start with quality, high pr backlinks that are relevant to the niche?
