Welcome to the Q&A Forum

So basically you mean that I should do guest blogging and bring more links, right?

Any more suggestions.

Hi

I blog at Technostarry.

Some 3 months back during page rank update, my page rank went down from 3 to 2. I don't know the reason behind this.

And now, my traffic and ranking is also down. I am not involved in any bad SEO practices, I don't copy paste and I write original content. I am too confused as why and what has happened with my site. If someone could analyze my blog and look at my weak points then that would be great.

I would like to get any suggestions to get back my ranking and also page rank back.

Thanks.

Hello

I am a small Computer/Tech Blogger (part time) from India and following are my Domain stats:

• PR: 4

• Alexa Rank: 65K

*** Open Site Explorer Page Authority: 46/100**

*** Open Site Explorer Domain Authority: 35/100**

*** Open Site Explorer Linking Root Domain: 98**

*** Open Site Explorer Total Links: 1196**

*** mR: 4.83**

*** mT: 5.81**

• Domain Age: 3 Years and 4 Months

• Blog Posts I made: around 580

I never spent ANY time in Link Building, only wrote content for my blog. I only attached my Blog URL in some BIG forums as a signature (never meant for link building, but later found that the signature section of some forums are DOFOLLOW) and very few sites linked/links to me/my articles.

Reasons why I am asking question here:

• Majority of my blog posts ranks very well (top 10) on Google.co.in, but on Google.com, most of them are present from Page 2 - Page 10 - I want to rank my posts well on Google.com, Google.co.uk etc.

• SERP of Big sites remains static, but my position shuffles a lot. Sometimes any particular blog post of mine is on first page (on a particular Google Domain) and after some days/months, it shifts to 2nd or 3rd page! This happens a lot!

• As soon as Google Updates pagerank, many recent articles of mine will get atleast PageRank 2 or 3, but when pagerank in updated again, the pagerank of these very same articles drops! Very few articles of mine have static pagerank

• I am not a master in Computers/Tech and am not the first one on the internet to discover and write something UNIQUE/NEW, but I try to write detailed and good quality tutorials. If main keywords of my posts matches with the keywords of BIG domains, I never rank on first page, no matter I have written more detailed content compared to the content of these BIG sites! Google sends me traffic to majority of my blog posts by means of  random keywords!

I have decided to do Guest Posting on some blogs of similar niche and with Open Site Explorer Domain Authority ranging from 60 to 80.

I will try my level best to write good content for them and they also allows Author Bio with a backlink to my Blog Homepage (in my case, the anchor text  for this link will be my Blog Name)

I want to ask following questions:

• Is one guest post with a backlink to my Homepage is enough? or I have to write more content for same domain?

• I have heard that, if you link to a website/blog which is linking to you, Google don't pass any juice to either of them because of reciprocal linking! - Is this true?

The websites on which I am planning to do guest posts are very well established and trusted websites. Some of them have Open Site Explorer Domain Authority of 80+. Also, I never linked to them nor I am planning to do so!

I request SEO Gurus here to please help me and I apologize in advance if I am wrong at any point. MY SEO concepts are not much clear and I am a newbie

Thanks and Regards
