Hi, Just looking for your suggestions and maybe a small bit of help on SEO. I have a site http://www.caloriehealthy.com list in yahoo, dmoz a couple of others, i have tried to rank for several different keywords, messed around with changing the content on several times - got some keywords to about page 5 on google.com. In the last 3 months i tried to stabilize to a couple of keywords but my ranking has all but gone, is it a case of just a lack of backlinks. I tried to write unique articles in the blog http://www.caloriehealthy.com/WeightLossBlogs/, but with no success really at all. Could you have a look at the site and maybe give me some ideas, also tried purchasing links through link management tools, but this did not work. Is it onsite seo or offsite my problem. any help would be much appreciated. Kindest Regards Fergal.
It's difficult to tell you what's going on without knowing your specific goals. But the good news is that your site didn't get de-indexed or anything. Decent page rank and page authority too. I'm assuming that you need more backlinks because that is usually what's missing especially in competitive niches.
have been looking over you site for a long time but still not getting where the problem is ......... may be you lack backlink you have 1,643 links... i think you need more back links !! Got it your site is inside Google Sandbox this might be the reason why everything is failing !! After a while EUREKA: Yes, I confirmed it you're inside GOOGLE SANDBOX.
The google sandbox is a myth much like the yetti or the lochness monster. There was a time back in the day around 2004-2006 when it sorta served to explain a fairly common issue with new sites. This has not been the case in years. At a glance I tend to agree with Eugene here. Mostly because your title attribute is not actually a thing. "Calorie Healthy Diet Plans" that doesn't actually exist. There is no such thing. So its safe to assume you are not effectively targeting anything. With that said, that is still a brutal demographic to be in so regardless, your work is not likely done here. I will look it over in the morning and point you in the right direction though. Definitely do not buy links for starters though. That never seems to end well from small biz to major companies. Though the latter still do quite a bit of that. I would probably start by looking over social signal related matters as well but I spot a range of pretty bad practices happening on the blog. Starting with your footer. Hope that helps a bit, Nigel
I only "half agree" with Nigel on the buying backlinks. Buying quality backlnks is probably the fastest and most reliable way to gain rankings. However, it's very difficult to find a quality provider. So in that sense, Nigel is correct. Unless you know exactly where to look, it's likely to have some bad results in the end.
