my site: www.sanlucar-de-barrameda.com was in about 12th position with G for a search of sanlucar de barrameda but has since gone down and down and now is not on the 1st 10 pages! What is it I'm doing that is so wrong. Have in the last few days have added google ads and just created a new banner at the top to fit h1 text and other keywords above the ads. Ian
Ian, I look at the page and see nothing to pull me in. For a holida area I think banner should involve a breathtaking panorama of the area making me want to see more. This will not help with SERP but may help draw the viewer in. Shannon
When did you add the links at the bottom of the page? It dilute your theme because it has nothing to do with the sanlucar de barrameda keyword. Worst still, it's at the end of your page (see your source code). I don't know if this is the reason why the site is suddenly going down like a rock but i will put those links somewhere else rather than diluting my theme.
Thanks for the feedback I'll look at new banner I see what you mean Shannon. jg123 - ? iskandar - The links at the bottom are co-op network! Ian
okay, but did your page go down after you added the links or has it been there all the time? i now ppl in this forum say that it has no impact on your SERP. i am just curious if that link would dilute your theme significantly because of the placement
The co-op has been on since the domain started Jan/Feb 2005. I'm now thinking it may be down to lack of contant, not really that many pages, even with a forum - that as yet to be a hit with visitors. Am going to make a job of more content/pages (relevant) in the week or so. I can't say when it went down, must have been in the last 2-3 weeks, am top in msn/yahoo Ian
