Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for getting me up to speed on that. Keyword tags worked like 15 years ago huh!

So besides the title and desription tags, are there any other valuable meta tags I should be aware of?

Because Google is cracking on  spammy keywords should I remove my meta keywords tag altogether? I hear they dont factor it in anyway?

Adam,

My rankings were pretty good until shortly after Penguin, then it came crumbling down, so I am going by the time frame. When I first saw this the first thought that came to my mind was the Link exchange pages. Your right It's time for that to go, Google clearly does not like this.

As far as more content on the courses pages, I will have to look into it. When I created those pages there were very few sites that listed the 180 or so golf courses that are in the Dallas Fort Worth area, only the most popular seemed to be listed on the main sites. I  wanted to make available a complete listing. Having said that, adding content my competitors do not have would be great. I will have to try to come up with something unique to add, just not sure what that is yet.

Hi, my name is Sam and I am new to this forum and SEOMOZ. I got hit hard in rankings after the Panda Update and was really suprised. I do not use any black hat SEO I am aware of, do not keyword stuff, and dont even have a tag cloud. Just wondering what in the world I did to get hit hard. Anyone else have this happen, and If so what would be good SEOMOZ tool(s) to use? I will admit SEO has always confused me. From my experience it's not always the best site (relevance) that gets ranked the highest. I feel like I'm missing something with SEO. I'm hoping this SEOMOZ site will help. I may end up hiring someone from Elance to do my SEO, lol.
