    first off all, sorry if this is in the wrong section.
    the forum is huge and narrowed it down to this section.
    I have been ranking 1-2 for search terms "free iphone" for 12mths now and in the last week or so i have noticed im dropping down the ranks :mad:

    could one of you kind people help me with some simple seo, im no wizard with web design but have been doing quiet well with my site.
    the site is www.myfreeiphone.co.uk I have been looking to do some serious link exchanges but have read google can drop you for link farming( if thats the term).

    any help i would be very greatfull.

    Thats kinda funny, I been doing a monthly service for a UK site for that term... sorry :D

    Continue to build quality relevant backlinks; also continue to add new useful content to your web pages. Make sure your on-page optimization is optimal and review Stymiee's Sitepoint SEO FAQ thread; should get you going in the right direction.

    1.- Move css to an external file so you can clean your code
    2.- Submit your site to social bookmarking sites
    3.- Write an article about iphones and submit it to ezinearticles.com
    4.- Less keywords on keyword tag

    Hope this helps :cool:


    You were ranked 12 months #1-#2 for search terms "free iphone" and only 73,000 visits ?? I see PR2 and no alexa data...

    Injecting fresh content built around your niche is essential, otherwise the competition will overpass you.

    I know that it is a struggle to keep on top and to write content, but if there's anything that I have learned here is that content is defintely king.

    Google has some great resources for webmasters that allows you to determine your rankings on searches, and you can see how people are finding your site, where you rank etc. If there are areas that need improving focus on those.

    Fresh, relevant content and relevant backlinks are key.
