Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you all very much...My traffic and conversions actually has been quite awesome for the last 12 months..Good enough that this site is the sole support of my family and 7 kids.

Again i wouldnt be here where i am today if it was not for yhou guys..

I was suspecting that i may have lost some important links that perhaps expired last month..Not sure of a great method to track my links BUT i think from this point on i better figure a way to keep a keen eye on my links and when they fall off ..

thanks

The link is actually located on the home page with an actual PR8 rank

The link is for the pretty competitive term of about 250,000 searches per month

The link is not surrounded by text instead it is listed mid page as a contributor to the site with anchor text for my main keyword..

I have been working on this site for a total of 3 years im only now getting to #11 position...

Every time i get close THE #1,#2and #3 competitor starts  HUGE link campaigns and adds hundreds and hundreds of links at a time...AGAIN pushing me down ...

Can i push as hard as they are ??OR do i need to be patient and just keep moving ahead slowly As i am now??

thank You

I recently Received a PR-8 Backlink from  a very authorative site. Its been 3 weeks now and it seems ALL my rankings are actually down .As i continue to check my rankings for the top 10 keys every day,I see the ranks jumping from 09 down to 42 and back up to 09,This is every day it seems the last week ...It just seems that in 3 weeks the bouncing would stop by now. The keyword i am speaking of actually gets about 250,000 searches a month. Prior to the pr 8 link i was solid at #11 Google. BUT now im at #12 - #13..Does anyone think that maybe something else is going on here??

I have only been doing this for a few years. But i have seen this many many times.Where a relatively new site launches and suddenly its ranking high on the first page for a certain keyword .Like you said there are very low qualities across the board regarding this site. My guess is that this site will soon disappear just as quickly as it appeared and will find its real home down on page 3 or 4. Google bounce .

My question sounds stupid . But I had a good Moz rank for my Domain also Moz trust.It was in the high 400s for both..I was very happy with this score  My DA also dropped considerably. There was not much of a reason i could see,In fact my page scores still were up there and never moved. But the domain scores plummeted.

I had added a Blog to my site once i added the blog there were roughly 13 pages involved.Of these 13 pages i had problem errors ,notices ,and warnings for all the blog pages.I did not notice this until a couple days ago . The 13 errors were mostly duplicate description tags ,302 redirect ,and other small stuff like this ..

like fl** Could these items listed above actually be the problem behind my scores all dropping like flies??** And with the update being only 3 days away if i repaiir these right away do you think i will get my scores back ?? Or will i have to wait for another 30 days ...I really dont want to be left standing with such a low score ..I already started making the repairs.

Thank you all...
