Main keyword problem
-
Hello
Since the latest Google update our main keyword has been dropping. We employed a SEO company about 6 weeks ago and since then the keyword has dropped a couple of pages further on Google. We have been using the Remove'em site to check our backlinks and a blog this SEO company have done has appeared on the list. The DA is good but the PA is low. In the blog they have linked the exact keyword to our site homepage.
Do you think the blogs the SEO company are doing will be causing us more problems?
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

Good link or bad link - has to do with a lot of what you'd expect. For example, a link from (I'm making up examples) Forbes.com would probably do a business a lot more good than a link from a site like mikesbuisnessknowledge.com. Or, links from .gov/.edu also are seen as better because there's criteria around what kind of institutions can have those URLs. One .gov link could be better than 100 links from OK sites.

Thank you for responding, the blog is wordpress as for the back links it is difficult for us to understand, we have download our back links report from Open Explorer which is also hard to understand, is there a vidieo that can explain what everything means?
From previous postings some people say look where competitios are linking and try and get a link there, one rival is always at the top so I did this for what looked like a good site and this link returned this:
PA - 45
DA - 95
Domains Linking to this Page - 22
Number of Domains Linking to Domain - 3318508
Link Equity - Yes
No Link Equity - No
What determines if this is a good link or not also what is the point of Link Equity - Yes and No Link Equity - No does this not contradict itself, I am sorry if I sound thick?

Any link from a good domain is a great thing to have on website.
Does your blog in WordPress or blogger? How many back links you are getting from blogs on the targeted keywords? is it related to your business services ?
How many times do you have repeat the same keywords?
Could you please explain?

Well, it is generally accepted today that a strategy of large numbers of back links using exact match anchor text is best avoided but I doubt that at this short interval, what they are doing is the cause of your continued downward slide--unless they are doing it on a very big scale. Diverse anchor text from quality sites should be the goal.

301 redirect blog network to main site, good or bad?
Hi, Here is a newbie question. When we launched our web shop 18 months ago I started eight blogs on a different host with keyword rich domain names to get some links to the shop. Today I don't update them, but they have a lot of links to our shop and the blogs have something like DA 20 and PA 30-40. There are lots of links between the blogs as well. Can I do 301 redirects of the blogs/posts to the web shop to rank higher in the SERP for the keywords? If I do, what happens to the links from the blogs to the shop? Will the shop loose a lot of links, but gain in PA, DA, mR etc? Overall, would the shop/main site benefit from this? Or should I just leave the blogs and not mess with them? They don't have much traffic. I appreciate any input, thanks!

Multiple pages battling for same keyword
Hi, I have earlier had a post about this, but still I am in doubt. I posted: http://www.seomoz.org/q/page-not-being-indexed The keyword "betsafe" in that question has now "bounced" back and is now the page shown in SERPS for the search keyword. This is great, however I don't know why. By checking the URL in OSE i have discovered that the page has in-links from SEOmoz.org. Which comes from the above questions thread. Can it really be, that these 2 links from SEOmoz forum has done the difference? We appareantly have zero links from other sites to the URL, despite actually having them on another site. Now we are having trouble with keyword: "bet365" which should show page http://www.betxpert.com/bookmakere/bet365 but does not (on google.dk). I have optimized the page as far as I can stretch it without doing in in an unnatural way. Only thing left to do is bring down number of links. What is your advice? Should I simply try to link build for the URL with the keyword - and then it will beat our other pages which seem to steal the SERPS? -Rasmus

301 to main page or deeper page for best 'link juice'.
I have two rafting websites. One ranks high for one set of keywords. The other ranks okay for a different set. I want to redirect the whole second site to the first to give the first more link juice and hopefully lift the first site even more in the rankings. Would it be better to link to a deeper page of the 1st site. I have a page that does well for some long tail keywords or would it be better to link to the main page. Or is it a bad idea over all.
