Aggregators outranking me for my own content

Hey guys,

This one has had me stumped for awhile.  I operate www.deviantclip.com.  Its a very old and trusted domain by google with loads of history.  However, in the past year, Google has been giving me the cold shoulder.

One major problem I've noticed is that I've lost all longtail traffic.  Its even gotten to the point where aggregators are outranking me in google for my own custom titles and content.

**Example A : **

Google Link 1

This search has my own sitename in the title and my site ranks somewhere on page 2 or further.

**Example B : **

Google Link 2

This content originated from our site and has a unique title, yet we're dead last in the serps.

I submitted my site for reconsideration a few times, and the outcome everytime is that Google tells me they have not applied any manual penalty.

There are a TON of issues to adress with this site, but obviously, getting my own content to rank first is the primary problem I would like to fix.

Your time and advice is greatly appreciated.  If you need furter info, don't be afraid to ask.

Hey Russ, you're right and this is something we're working on.

For years it was standard in our industry to trade links with specific keywords in them, not for seo purposes, but for traffic.  With the recent algo changes, this method has backfired on us.  I'm working on cleaning everything up.

Quick question : What tool are you using in that screenshot?

Cheers

Your site might not have a manual penalty, but it very likely has an algorithmic one. Looking at the anchor text diversity for your site, it appears the overwhelming majority of links use manipulated anchor text. You probably have an algorithmic penalty. You will need to clean this up and build an organic link profile.
