After doing hard work on my website I have lost my ranking.

This the question to all SEO Experts that I have worked very hard on my website even during that period I submitted more than 50 new blogs with catchy and useful content. But after doing this all I have lost my ranking. My 5 keywords were on first page of google and I was getting some good queries. But now they are not in first 20th Pages. I did the following subjects for my website :-

Directory Submission
Social Bookmarking
Guest Posting
Articles Creations
Blogs Creations
And
Classifieds Submission.

Now I want to know what should I do to recover my ranking.

Thanks,

Have you tried checking the uniqueness of the content you have posted ??? also look if there is any spammy links ??? If you found every thing is in the right place then go to Google Webmaster tool and apply for reconsideration of your website.

 

Did you use the same keywords for backlinking ?

 

John thanks for your reply. When I was just doing content based work then I started to get good ranking. But when I started 1 more task "Social Bookmark" then I started to go down. Now I don't know exactly what should I do. Also I had already applied for reconsideration request but there was nothing wrong.

Thanks,

Yes I used the same keywords. Tell me should have I not done that ?

 

You want to use a variety of keywords including mid and long tail keywords, your url, etc. You might also want to review the quality of the directories you submitted your site to. There are a number of poor directories out there that will hurt your ranking. The directories, just like everything else, need to be really quality and for the most part should be relevant to your industry.

 

Yes, you shouldn't have done that. You need to use different variations of your keywords, & some random keywords like 'click here', your website name, etc...
