Welcome to the Q&A Forum

hi

im looking for a more detailed answer. I have a good pr etc and links built but i am unsure what way to go forward. I am looking to establish is the reason for my site not ranking for some keywords, is it due to over optimization or do i need to build more brand links to dilute my keyword links?

I am looking for some advice as to what I need to do to improve my rankings?

Thanks

Ben

my website www.funktiongolf.co.uk had been ranking well until January and i'm nearly sure its due to low quality links and poor back-link profile i.e over-optimized money keywords

can someone guide me?

thanks for anyone that replies. I really do appreciate the
 help.

Due to my site being an ecommerce site is that not usually the norm for it to be image heavy.

I found that when i removed my text on page for mens golf shirts categpry we actually are now in the top 10 for mens golf shirts on google uk.

Because of this i then tried to apply the same on page analysis as the mens golf shirt page to the mens golf clothing page. It had 2 image alt tags so I am trying to add them, to  see if it has the same effects,

Do you have a list of the golf directories that you would be willing to share.

On a page I am trying to make it have a better on page analysis for a keyword.

Is it worth creating a small image that you cant see in the background 5 pixels by 5 pixels with the keyword img alt, or does google see this negatively?

I know they say to create good content for the reader / viewer but an image wouldnt be suitable as it is a category page within my ecommerce website.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the quick replies, I really do appreciate it.

It seemed to be when I add multiple products, say over 5 and they all have the phare golf shirt in, it seemed to have a negative affect on ranking  i.e they would fall dramatically.

I have found that google removes the google serach listing of a category from my site (ecommerce) when products within the category have the same key words.

I sell golf shirts and have a category called "Mens Golf Shirts" Within the category I have added many products but when the too many of the products say mens golf shirt my link on google gets removed.

Before i had products named:

FUNKTION Mens Short Sleeve Golf Shirt Red / Black

but now I have had to change it to:

FUNKTION Red / Black

I can understand that they may see this a keyword stuffing but how do I get around this to ensure that each product can rank on google for mens golf shirt

http://www.funktiongolf.co.uk

uk google

Our site ranked well for these words

funky golf

trendy golf clothes

Now these keywords do no rank at all for my website. I have not been penalised by google as i emailed them. The only thing I did was add best seller products to my main page. Now my about us page ranks far higher than my index page

Please Help
