    www.columbus-ohio-dui-lawyer.com

    This site has me stumped as to why it is ranking so poorly for Columbus Ohio DUI Lawyer (around 85 in Google, but #3 on Bing, #20 on Yahoo). I got desperate and moved it to a new IP about 2 weeks ago. It had been hanging around 105 for about 3 months, so this did help a bit.

    My guess it is a +90 SERPS penalty (though are those doled out by keyword or across the map?) Ranks ok for Best Columbus Ohio DUI Lawyer, Columbus OH DUI Lawyer.

    I have checked for everything: invisible links, too high of keyword density, Copyscape'd each paragraph.

    Compared to what is at top for the keyword selected, though a little competitive, this site still should rank so much better.

    Is this an example of the "over optimized penalty"? LOL

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! THANKS!

    You may have many non relevant links. Do some relevant links and articles. I also notice in google that your site can appear in local search. why not you verify a phone call and list your site in local search its easy.

    even if you get ur site on top... then it will list below local search. So i recommend go for local search listing.

    Thank you for the reply. I am listed under local - phone verified. On my search for Columbus Ohio DUI Lawyer it is letter "I" on Google Maps. (have to hit "more"). All the more reason I think I am being penalized.
