Freaky keyword ranking
-
Hello SEO Pros,
We have a really strange issue with one of our websites. We have been in the first 10 natural results for the keyword "rendszergazda" with page http://systemfarmer.hu/rendszergazda for years. About 1,5 years ago somebody copied our webpage completely and google penalized us too. Till then we can not get back in the first 30, a week ago we are not listed in the first 1000!
No idea what happened. In Moz no issues, webmastertools no issues. Does anyone have any idea where to start?
Regards, Laszlo

Does this site below belong to you? It is a replica of your page
http://systemfarmer-web.gopagoda.com/uzemeltetes/
When i take a snippet of text and put it in quotes in Google, that site shows up as the authority for that content. If you own that site I would look at canonicalizing it (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139394?hl=en) or at least noindex it.

Backlink Query. Unranked pages of High Ranking sites.
Hi, So I was just wondering if someone with more knowledge than myself can answer this question for me. I have a site - currently sat on page 2 of google. On-site optimisation is done, however I am struggling to get backlinks that are from highranking pages. I am new to SEO so need a hand. My understanding of backlinks is that the higher the PR of the site that links to your 'money' site, the better that link is, and that these links are very hard to come by. (something that I am finding). Many times I have found sites that have a high rank and offer for a free listing, only for me to fill in details and get listed on a sub-page that has no ranking whatsoever. So my question is, are these kind of links worth the effort? Do they actually have any effect on rankings? And generally would anyone have any tips on the best sites to get links? Thanks

Can not get the ranking needle to move even after a year with a US based SEO company
Hello community, I have spent the last 16 months spending lots of money on our USA Based SEO company and on content. For some reason. The powers who may be at Google are not giving us any love. I am beginning to become very dissapointed after all of our efforts. We did have a link penalty a year ago however that has long ago been removed. We have been doing everything our SEO company has asked us but the needle is not moving. Any ideas for us? http://tinyurl.com/n2yoeyn Thank you in advance. Chris

Huge Hit and Bouncing Rankings Since Panda 3.3 Update?
Has anyone else seen rankings bouncing all over the place since the end of Feb? A client's site is for the term hcg which I know is controversial but we were in 3rd or 4th for the past couple of months until this update. Now for the term "hcg" the rankings are bouncing from the twenties to over 100 multiple times a day. I check them throughout the day with non personalized search, rank checker, etc to just try and keep updated. I have never seen rankings bounce around so much after an update and am wondering if this update is somehow effecting these more controversial search terms. Since The end of Feb our traffic has almost dropped in half due to the drop in just the "hcg" term ranking We have been cleaning up the site, updating lower quality content, blogging frequently and trying to build better links for the past couple months of working on the site.The problem is there have been a few other previous SEO companies that worked on the site and I don't know how much black hat tactics were used. Any insight or suggestions on this would be appreciated, we are all scrambling to try and recover from this.

Keyword Strategy
I am working with a company that has had a few "SEO Experts" work on it's site over the last year. The strategy these "experts" used to generate keywords is to optimize on many general keywords and, when mixed all together, make the keywords they are optimizing against. For example, they did photo printing. They would optimize for the keywords: photo prints printing print photographs photography 4x6 cheap .... Maybe I am missing something, but I have never seen a keyword list managed this way... is this "normal"? Is this something "new" I am missing? Any advice or strategy tips on this one? Thanks in advance!

First Aid Courses in Cornwall
Health and Safety Training in Cornwall as well as several more... However over the past 3 weeks they have gradually dropped out of the places listing all together, and I'm struggling to understand why this might be. Yesterday I released a new website for them which has had a lot more SEO input in to the site, is this likely to have an affect on the places ranking? the website is www.insafehandstraining.com Any answers would be very appreciated.0
