Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you for your response.

Well this is the problem. I have no messages in webmaster tools or any issues flagging up.

Do you think it is down to the links as I am still ranking for certain keywords and for my brand.?

Unfortunately, I paid 'credible' seo professional's to do the work!!! I suppose once upon a time these techniques were to an extent white hat but things change and I can see that it is for the better.

Very frustrating from an seo perspective as I am sure in the past relevant content and popularity did not count as much for seo until the arrhythms change.

At the end of the day we provide a great service to our clients and are very relevant to what is being searched for. We provide mortgage advice from our own office and have done so for years and have an established domain that has also been verified for google places.It is very frustrating when you see companies that are ranked higher than us that are only lead aggregators that sell information on.. ie. money supermarket and the emergence of more and more lead generators.

At the end of the day not much has changed as it is still the companies that pump the most money into seo that will win.

This is not a rant just my opinion from a business that provides great service but cant afford to put thousands of £ into seo to get to the top of the rankings.

Hi,

My site @ www.mortgageadvicecenter.co.uk has been hit by the penguin update. I cannot be found at all in google for certain keywords such as mortgage advice where we ranked page 2. We still rank for certain keywords. I really don't know why we have been penalised and what to do. I have plenty of brand links and nothing out of the ordinary link distribution.

This obviously affects our bottem line so do you have any idea's or time scales?

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

Ryan
