Need help ranking my site
-
Hi,
Can anyone help me out? I am trying to get this site ranked for "Villa General Belgrano". It was on the first page of Google and then it disappeared. Did I over optimize the anchor text?

Thanks Matthew
This really helped. My client decided to acquire links without letting me know. It's the first time I had a site go down instead of up and I panicked.
Happy holidays!

Thanks,
@carla - don't you love when clients help you with your link building lol. It's always fun to fix that. We had a few clients help us too with link networks they used with our tactics, the outcome wasn't good. They penalized their self 1 month after using the link network.
Performing SEO right the first time, or at-least trying until Google changes it, is less time consuming than going back and manually deleting links. Sure you can use the disavow tool now, but who wants to manually look at every backlink of a site if you don't have to. Not to mention the refresh time of the disavow tool is a bit long right now. I had 1 site just refresh around 6 weeks.
Have a nice night.

Great Advice Matt.

Hello Carla Dawson,
You have a few issues, 1st you have a 26% anchor text ratio for that keyword which is very high. 2nd you lost 234 backlinks since Nov 19th. I would find out why your losing backlinks that quick.
I would do the following
1. analyze your competitors densities and find out what is working for them, then use it.
2. Figure out if the quality of links your building are high enough quality, because it doesn't look like they are all sticking. However never count on all of them sticking, but 234 in a little over a month is a lot and I would question it.
3. Start working on diversifying your backlinking structure with Ip, region, Anchor, and platform diversity.
Have a great day.

Ok I think I just figured it out. My client decided to "help me" in the link building process. He added this link with the anchor text "Villa General belgrano" http://cordobaturismoafull.com.ar (see footer). I do think the site is over optimized

Do you need to include the top menu on every single page of the site in the code?
When using cache: on google, and clicking on Text-only version, our site has the top menu gibberish on top? My feeling is that this take away SEO juice from our title and focus keyword. Our website is culinarydepotinc.com

Pre-launch site or not
We are going to set up a new site in four months. Historically we always set up a simple Wordpress "Pre-launch-site" with relevant texts to start ranking in the SERP. Anyone with experience of doing/not doing this and what is had led to? A site with relevant texts also should have incoming links, which needs more work.

What is important for page rank?
I have heard quality is the most important factor for page rank but after the 7 Nov 11 PR update I am no longer a believer. The PR on my home page dropped from 4 to 3 and the rest of my inside pages remained the same even though I have added a significant amount of content since the previous update and kept it fresh. Any thoughts on this most recent PR update?

Should I include my help desk link?
My website has a link to our help desk. I was considering a 'do not follow' since I don't think it should be included. However, are there any benefits to including it since there are A LOT of articles and pages on our help desk (though it's aimed at our curent customers, not new or potential customers)?
