    Hi, I just posted a press release purchased from a content writer in this forum. However after I posted his article, my ranking suddenly dropped 20 steps from Google. How do you verify article if they are good quality or not, SEO-wise?

    Just posted when?
    I doubt a press release would cause your rank to drop
    SERP's are always changing

    Yesterday. This morning I saw the rank drop dramatically, so I took out the article. What do you think went wrong?

    It's easy. You count it by the listing on Google page when you type certain keyword.

    Do you think even if the PR article contains a lot of keyword spamming, Google might penalize it?
