Being beat down by black hat sites

    Well, have been really working on our site, trying to clean up previous mistakes, building links, adding content and getting rid of black hat methods - trying to drive traffic in from google. Still am not listed in the top 100 results for shoe repair on google.... on Yahoo, I am now number 12! My site has remained a PR of 2... not up, not down. Our site is 4 years and 10 months old, and some of our competition is 6 years old, some newer.

    What I can't figure, is, I am getting KILLED by sites that use hidden links, tons of duplicate content, and broken pages using redirects to fill content. Am I just wasting my time?

    Do a search for shoe repair on google. Look at www.newsole.com - how in the WORLD is that the #2 ranked site? :eek:

    THanks - I just need some encouragement I guess.

    Hello,

    this site has many hidden keywords and several links from Yahoo directory; for sure that helps but I don't think this could last.

    Cheers !
