Sites Ranked Again - Post Penguin SEO Help
-
Got destroyed by Penguin because of questionable links.
I had most of the links removed and my sites have been restored for the most part - though lower than they previously ranking for keywords.
What is the best SEO strategy to move up in rank?
Link Building strategy?
Is there a penalty for domains that have keywords in them?
-
Can I ask what do you mean by "questionable" links...I can't imagine anyone doing white hat seo would have anything that would be questionable? Can you describe these links please in terms of the type of site that they were on and any significance in anchor text and also how long did it take you to remove them?
-
Again, content. You have to have stuff blogs want to link to.
-
Also - what do you suggest in terms of how I can get links thru blogs?
My sits are for sports tickets....
-
Will google penalize me if I have multiple sites hosted under one IP address?
I have a VPS account.
Also - in terms of anchor text links its good to make a variety right rather than focus on one keyword....

You're going to have to think very long term. Don't expect 1-2 weeks of work to do you any good at all.
Plan out a six-month content campaign, with topics, folks you want to contact about each new piece of content, etc.
At the same time, look to your onsite SEO. Make sure you're 100% within best practices.
This will take a sustained effort. The entire reason Google's doing things like Penguin is that they want sites to offer value to searchers. So make sure your site offers lots of value, in the form of content.

What is the best SEO strategy to move up in rank?
I think a sound link building campaign would be the way to go. Spend one week writing great content on your site and another week writing some great content for bloggers as a guest post. Make it useful for their audience.

What is my site missing for improved ranking - Pls Help
Hi I would really appreciate any advice or guidance on what my site needs to move onto the 1st page as I am at a loss on what else is required? On a search for chartered accountants swansea according to the SEOMOZ campaign ranking report the site www.harrisbassett.co.uk is down in 27 position for this keyphrase in Google. However when looking over the ranking analysis my site has a stronger authority, more root domains, more domain authority and linking root domains than 4 out of the top 5 listings. Also the onpage analysis of some of the top 10 results is very poor, with no blogs, social features etc I have been building links based from competitor analysis which should be more than what is shown in the ranking report, but is my site missing any kep ingredients that would propel it up onto the 1st page - as the keyword difficulty is only 25% so I am struggling to work out what key elements/improvements are required for this final push.

When looking at my site in open site explorer the top results are very dodgy spam and porn sites backlinking to us. Is this having a negative impact on our site?
When using open site explorer to check out who is linking to us I was surprised that the top results are spam and porn sites. These are completely irrelevant links. Does this have a negative impact on our site? What can we do to combat this?
