Hey,

Great! That's definitely a bit more specific.
If you look at your anchor text for the back links in Open Site Explorer, you'll see a lot of "commercial" keywords which is very unnatural --> http://screencast.com/t/CeMDxdug - I'm going to guess from that evidence, that your rankings for "balar" keywords was artificially high to begin with, and now Google has dropped the site back down to where it should have been all along. The site itself looks pretty nice - not very spammy, and the design and content is pretty good.
Here are some great resources for acquiring links that are more natural and are more of a win-win-win for the business, users and Google:
- http://pointblankseo.com/link-building-resources
- http://www.linkbuildingbook.com/link-building-resources.html
Here's some custom strategy for you. For businesses like this, you're serving a LOT of different industries. I find it effective to dive into one specific industry you serve (like urban watse: http://www.sinobaler.com/application/urban-waste-baling-press/) - this could be a REALLY fascinating topic to do some high quality content about!! I'm sure it's a hot topic, and people are very passionate about it. Invest some resources into a well researched piece of content about this topic and get it in front of people who care about the topic. They won't be the people who necessarily buy something, but they will share and link to it like crazy. I am thinking of people who care about natural, the environment, green living etc.
Then apply that to all the other sectors begin served: agriculture, food, clothing, etc etc - so you don't have to always write about the products, you can write about the industries.

Hi Sally
I would start by checking out some of the great resources out there answering a lot of these questions and more:
I would recommend getting your question more specific. Those questions are as broad as you can get in SEO. More specific questions might be:
- Here's page ______, how can I improve it?
- How can we acquire links in ______ industry?
- We lost rankings for ______ keyword(s) for ______ site, what could be wrong?
Hope that helps you keep going in the right direction!

Hey,
there are so many things that could influence your rankings that is hard to tell if it is only from the links, or there are other factors also.
If you see a traffic drop from a specific date, then you could check for the Panguin tool from Barracuda: http://www.barracuda-digital.co.uk/panguin-tool/
And if the traffic drop is on a specific update date, then you could investigate that specific update, and start from there.
Let me know, if you have further questions.

Another client copies everything to blogspot. Is that what keeps her site from ranking? Or what? Appears to be a penalty somewhere but can't find it.
This client has a brand new site: http://www.susannoyesandersonpoems.com Her previous site was really bad for SEO, yet at one time she actually ranked on the first page for "LDS poems." She came to me because she lost rank. I checked things out and found some shoddy SEO work by a very popular Wordpress webhoste that I will leave unnamed. If you do a backlink analysis you can see the articles and backlinks they created. But there are so few, so I'm not sure if that was it, or it just was because of the fact that her site was so poorly optimized and Google made a change, and down she fell. Here's the only page she had on the LDS poems topic in her old site: https://web.archive.org/web/20130820161529/http://susannoyesandersonpoems.com/category/lds-poetry/ Even the links in the nav were bad as they were all images. And that ranked in position 2 I think she said. Even with her new site, she continues to decline. In fact she is nowhere to be found for main keywords making me think there is a penalty. To try and build rank for categories, I'm allowing google to index the category landing pages and had her write category descriptions that included keywords. We are also listing the categories on the left and linking to those category pages. Maybe those pages are watered down by the poem excerpts?? Here's an example of a page we want to rank: http://susannoyesandersonpoems.com/category/lds-poetry/ Any help from the peanut gallery?

Why are URLs like www.site.com/#something being indexed?
So, everything after a hash (#) is not supposed to be crawled and indexed. Has that changed? I see a clients site with all sorts of URLs indexed like ... http://www.website.com/#!category/c11f For the above URL, I thought it was the same as simply http://www.website.com/. But they aren't, they're getting indexed and all the content on the pages with these hash tags are getting crawled as well. Thanks!

Are the duplicate content and 302 redirects errors negatively affecting ranking in my client's OS Commerce site?
I am working on an OS Commerce site and struggling to get it to rank even for the domain name. Moz is showing a huge number of 302 redirects and duplicate content issues but the web developer claims they can not fix those because ‘that is how the software in which your website is created works’. Have you any experience of OS Commerce? Is it the 302 redirects and duplicate content errors negatively affecting the ranking?

Trying to Optimize my site for one keyword any advice please
Hi, we are trying to optimize our site www.in2town.co.uk for the keyword of lifestyle magazine. We are having trouble with this. We were last year number one in google for the keyword and then the end of last year we went to position four and now we are on the bottom of the second page and we are not sure what is happening. here is the text view of the site http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:5U281SBmDlUJ:www.in2town.co.uk/&hl=en&client=firefox-a&gl=uk&strip=1 I am just wondering if we need to do a better description of the lifestyle magazine at the top as i know it says you should have your keyword within the first 100 words Any help on trying to solve this problem and get the page back where it belongs will be great. I know we have a lot of text on the page so google maybe finding it hard to find out what keywords are what but the only keyword we are interested in this page is lifestyle magazine, in the near future we would be looking at including lifestyle news many thanks

One site per location or all under and umbrella site?
I am working on a project where we are re-branding lots (100+) existing local business under one national brand. I am wondering what we should do with their existing websites, they are generally fairly poor and will need re-designing to match the new brand but may have some residual links? 301 redirect the URL to the national site, e.g. nationalsite.com/localbusinessA? If so what should I look out for? Do I need to specifically redirect any pages that have links to them to the same pages on the new site? Or should I give them a new standalone website that they link back to the national brand site? More than likely this will be hosted on the same server and CMS as the main site just the URL will remain Do I need to make sure that any old URL's that had links to them are 301'd to the new pages? Many thanks for you advice.

Lost ranking for top keyword
For the last 3 months we've been working on www.UneekJewelry.com to get it rank for "unique engagement rings" and got it to position 14 but since September 18th, 2012 that all changed. The website no longer ranks for our money keyword not even in the top 500. We haven't been building exact match keywords but using more phrase match and I can't tell if its because we don't have enough exact match or something else. We have been working on trying to figure out what the issue is as they still rank for other keywords like "unique engagement rings in los angeles", therefore we don't know if this is a keyword penalty or glitch in Google, can anyone give us any insight on what could cause such a drop in those specific keywords for our site. Most of the link building we have done for this client is from in content blogs. The only blog we were suspicious of we removed the article from that blog two days ago. The ranking have not come back. This was the last blog that the exact match keyword was used where we removed the article from: http://colorfuljewelry.blogspot.com/ Thanks,
