Yes, that's what I would advise.

I think a lot of us have been hit with this. Just try and comply with Google as much as possible, and I think the first port of call is all the on-page SEO.

Hi Georg,

I have had the same problem. It is because of the latest update by Google around 'over-optimisation'.

Don't worry though, all is not lost! There are a few things that you need to change:

• Make sure that your webpage titles are not over-optimised (i.e. 'Free Shoes, New Shoes, Sports Shoes - Shoe Company'). Make sure that they read properly and don't look spammy. Try not to repeat any of the keywords more than once, if at all.

• Check that all of the links on the page are not suspicious. For example, having loads of anchor text linking to the same page.

• See what your keyword density is on your webpage and see if you have maybe be keyword stuffing (Google is being a lot harsher and stricter on this now).

• Go through your img alt attributes and check they are all relevant and not just blatanet attempts to fit in long-tail keywords.

Once you have done this, resubmit the pages to the Google index and hopefully, after a few weeks, you should start regaining some ground. Unfortunately its a bit of a waiting game now, but make sure you do everything you can to show to Google that you are not over-optimising and you should be OK.

Also, take a look at Rand's recent whiteboard Friday which goes over this.

Good luck!

Matt.
