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.

Targeting City Geo-tags/Keywords for Clients with Multiple Locations
Hey everyone! What methods are best to use for SEO campaigns working with 1 website for a company which has 2, 3, 4, or more locations in order to get keywords for their services to rank well... in all their location cities? I feel we know the answer could be any one of the below notes, however, it's always nice to learn more about what all you other SEO's are doing or have done which saw success. Please note: We have heard about building microsites on sub-domains example city.domainname.com/keyword-or-service
Link Building | | WhiteboardCreations
We have heard about building sections off the root domain such as domainname.com/city/keyword-or-service
We have heard about just pushing more content to the blog which can target a wider range of keywords and cities
We have heard about building a new site for each city location replicating the main website and swapping out content for 100% originality
We have heard about just building more and more backlinks with different anchor text using the cities in the anchor text Thanks in advance and look forward to hearing from some other experts facing these same challenges!1 -
When optimizing for a keyword, what would be a good ratio for keyword diversity?
We all have primary keywords that we are optimizing for. For instance one of mine is "Video Conferencing Systems." I've read that you should have about 5-10 different keywords you should optimize for, however, would you want to create more links with your primary keyword than your other keywords or spread them out evenly and optimize for the primary keyword on in the actual content of the page?

How to target keywords on a new site?
I have a site I launched a few months back, and the niche isn't all that competitive. After a bit of work the domain is now sitting near the bottom of page 2 on google but it's number 2 in yahoo search. I have been manually building the links but they are all targeted to just one keyword, and mainly have the same link text. Will this look suspicious to google, and should I be spreading my anchor text over different keywords? Or is the reason Im ranking so well in yahoo be because they are just picking up more backlinks? 23 from yahoo but only 9 from google.
