Great! That's definitely a bit more specific.
If you look at your anchor text for the back links in Open Site Explorer, you'll see a lot of "commercial" keywords which is very unnatural --> http://screencast.com/t/CeMDxdug - I'm going to guess from that evidence, that your rankings for "balar" keywords was artificially high to begin with, and now Google has dropped the site back down to where it should have been all along. The site itself looks pretty nice - not very spammy, and the design and content is pretty good.
Here are some great resources for acquiring links that are more natural and are more of a win-win-win for the business, users and Google:
- http://pointblankseo.com/link-building-resources
- http://www.linkbuildingbook.com/link-building-resources.html
Here's some custom strategy for you. For businesses like this, you're serving a LOT of different industries. I find it effective to dive into one specific industry you serve (like urban watse: http://www.sinobaler.com/application/urban-waste-baling-press/) - this could be a REALLY fascinating topic to do some high quality content about!! I'm sure it's a hot topic, and people are very passionate about it. Invest some resources into a well researched piece of content about this topic and get it in front of people who care about the topic. They won't be the people who necessarily buy something, but they will share and link to it like crazy. I am thinking of people who care about natural, the environment, green living etc.
Then apply that to all the other sectors begin served: agriculture, food, clothing, etc etc - so you don't have to always write about the products, you can write about the industries.

Hi Sally
I would start by checking out some of the great resources out there answering a lot of these questions and more:
I would recommend getting your question more specific. Those questions are as broad as you can get in SEO. More specific questions might be:
- Here's page ______, how can I improve it?
- How can we acquire links in ______ industry?
- We lost rankings for ______ keyword(s) for ______ site, what could be wrong?
Hope that helps you keep going in the right direction!

Hey,
there are so many things that could influence your rankings that is hard to tell if it is only from the links, or there are other factors also.
If you see a traffic drop from a specific date, then you could check for the Panguin tool from Barracuda: http://www.barracuda-digital.co.uk/panguin-tool/
And if the traffic drop is on a specific update date, then you could investigate that specific update, and start from there.
Let me know, if you have further questions.

Ranking for combined version of keyword but not separated version
Hi All, My site is currently ranking on page 1 for the term "golfholidays" but is ranking at the bottom of page 3 for the term I am targeting and have optimised for, which is "golf holidays". Does anyone have any experience with the combined keyword ranking above the singular version? Nowhere on my page doesn't it mention the term "golfholidays" and backlinks to my site mostly use the anchor "golf holdiays" Thanks!

Our client's site was owned by former employee who took over the site. What should be done? Is there a way to preserve all the SEO work?
A client had a member of the team leave on bad terms. This wasn't something that was conveyed to us at all, but recently it came up when the distraught former employee took control of the domain and locked everyone out. At first, this was assumed to be a hack, but eventually it was revealed that one of the company starters who unhappily left the team owned the domain all along and is now holding it hostage. Here's the breakdown: -Every page aside from the homepage is now gone and serving a 404 response code -The site is out of our control -The former employee is asking for a $1 million ransom to sell the domain back -The homepage is a "countdown clock" that isn't actively counting down, but claims that something exciting is happening in 3 days and lists a contact email. The question is how we can save the client's traffic through all this turmoil. Whether buying a similar domain and starting from square one and hoping we can later redirect the old site's pages after getting it back. Or maybe we have a legal claim here that we do not see even though the individual is now the owner of the site. Perhaps there's a way to redirect the now defunct pages to a new site somehow? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Migrating to New site keywords question
We are converting an old static html ecommerce site to a new platform. The old site has excellent ranking for some of the products. In order to maintain our ranking we will implement 301 redirects from old to new pages (as the urls will change to SEF). I am using Googles Keyword tool (in adwords) and entering each page url of the old site (there are hundreds, I'm doing the top 50 in traffic) and generating a set of keywords, then sorting each list by global searches. For each page, Google's Keyword Tool is giving me hundreds of keywords, but in meta tags there should be no more than 15, so I need a method to choose the keywords on the new page. Question: in the new meta tags should we emphasize the most common keywords (as defined by most global searches) or the least common keywords? I would hate to lose the good ranking for the least common (long tail) keywords.

My keyword ranking suddenly went down in google.
Hi, Need urgently help, one of our website http://www.bannerbuzz.com keywords ranking is down suddenly since 6-11-2012, even we don't have done any changes on the website & we were on top on many keywords. We have done only one change recently is we have moved our website from shared server to dedicated server on last 21st October & we can see some traffic fluctuation after to redirecting from shared server to dedicated server, also website load time has been increase in Google Analytic, so it that reason to get rank down suddenly?, because all keywords has been down. We have also some affiliate sites like bannerbuzz.ca, bannerbuzz.co.uk & bannerbuzz.com.au which design and coding structure is as same as bannerbuzz.com, so is that a problem (Duplication issue)? We have tried to find out the solution for the same, but we didn't get any proper reason to get rank down suddenly. Can it happened due to dedicated server which we have moved recently or Google has changed anything in algorithm? Can we put website in Google reconsideration to know proper reason about the website? Following are the keywords on which we loose the ranking. Banners

Keyword targeting by page, site, or both?
Hi, We recently discovered that a product we sell has a misnomer, and that a ton of people take to Google and use variations of that misnomer while trying to find us. Unfortunately we don't rank in Google for this keyword, and its costing us thousands in lost sales. I've been slowly building the misnomer into the content of our site in hopes that the spiders will pick up on it. It has started to work in the last couple weeks, but we're nowhere near the top (and we are #1 and #2 for most of our other prime keywords.) The site which sells the product is specialized, and only sells this specific product (in different models, but they're all the same product essentially.) With that in mind, I'm trying to figure out the best way to attack a new keyword. I know that normally you would dedicate a specific page (in an eCommerce store probably that product's own page) to employ your SEO tactics. However, because this site specializes in this product and offers different models and information about it I'm confused about the best approach. Does Google take into consideration the entire site a s whole, or are the pages within my site competing against each other for rank?

Website isn't Ranking for Any Keyword
Hi, I launched a playhouses website in april this year and have been steadily link building to it over the past few months. I have gotten all of the internal optimisation correct (that I can see) however it is still not ranking for any keyword and suprinsgly all of our traffic is comming either direct or through bing. The website is showing as being in googles index however it is still not ranking for even the smallest of niche keywords. The only penalty I can see is that we have some spammy blog links that my colleague has gotten which I have been trying to counteract with high quality guest blogging. Any input is welcome the url is http://www.playhouses.co.uk/ Simon
