Hello! My website is ranked page 1 on bing and yahoo for the keyphrase "Mario bros" it used to be page 1 rank 3 on google for this same phrase. I cannot work out for the life of me why but google seem to have almost blacklisted it. All of our pages are indexed and known by google, but im not even in the first 20 pages of results now - Cant even find my site in teh results. My website is www.themariobros.net Anyone willing to diagnose why I disappeared from google and help me fix it? Feel free to PM me your quote for this investigation. (I'm not asking you to make me rank 1, page 1 - I just want to find out whats getting me shut out totally) Cheers Luke
It seems keyword stuffing, you have to neutralize this effect..for the keyword Mario Bros, you have to think of, it has 14000 pages indexed, I'm not sure all pages have quality content..
I looked at your backlinks really quickly and that seems OK. All I really looked at was citation flow and trust factor from Majestic SEO and your score was better than most...that's all I can say about that. Your are definitely optimized, so no problems there. Something that I have been doing lately that has given me really good results both with new sites and sites that were in a bit of trouble, was to categorize them. This is known as a silo structure, and it works quite well. The thing to remember, is that a silo structure is not the newest gimmick or way to trick Google. It is a way to categorize your site and tell them exactly what your site is about. Basically you create categories, pages and posts within categories. If your main keyword is Mario Bros then you have a page and a category called that. If you have any other related posts or pages on your site that are similar to Mario Bros, you group all of them together. Link from a related post to that page. Don't link to non Mario Bros posts/pages too often or not at all. There are some free WP plugins you can dig around for to make sure that your sidebar ONLY shows related pages. This may not sound like anything, but it is pretty powerful if you do it right. You may have to dig a bit to find some good instructions (I had to pay to learn to do it right) but if you can get it done, you will benefit. Other than that, high PR links are always a good idea.
