I Have an SEO Problem… Apparently I Don’t!

Hey There!

I’m happy to report that my Google page rankings for my problem site have now been holding steady at number 2 for the last couple of weeks.

Page ranking number 2 for keyword

This is very cool and I will keep adding content and blog posts until I take out the number 1 ranked site. I think I will be doing some short videos of the techniques I use and try video link building as part of this as well.

Once again, stay tuned for the next update…. SEO rankings are a journey, not a destination!

I Have an SEO Problem, Perhaps You Can Relate?

This is a bit embarrassing to admit, but one of my own sites has pretty much fallen off the cliff in the Google SERPs for the keywords it was ranking in the top 5 for previously. This happened before Christmas; my SERP rankings cratered for about a week, then recovered to even better than before for about a week, then went back down the gurgler and have pretty much stayed swimming with the turds ever since.

There are competing theories to explain this, one being that my site got caught up in the recent Google update and came out on the short end, ranking wise. The other is that I got less picky than I should have in my article marketing efforts and that some of the articles are located on “gray barred” (bad reputation) pages that are killing my rankings. The second theory flies in the face of conventional wisdom that incoming links can’t harm your SERP rankings, but it was expounded by someone who has enough data to be convinced that bad incoming links torpedo rankings all the time.

I’m still on the fence between these two scenarios and have not given up looking for a third or fourth potential cause of this pain in the butt situation. I will be documenting my efforts to track down the cause and implement the fix right here in this blog, so stay tuned.

SEO Plug In

Just installed Jeff Johnson’s SEO Plug In (beta). Everything went very smoothly and I was up and running in 20 minutes. This plug-in is intended to allow easy tweaks for search engine optimization to be made to your blog, which, in theory, should help the blog posts appear high up in the search engine results pages (SERPs) for the keywords you are attempting to rank for. We’ll see how well it works as I do some posting and monitor the ranking changes of my Mississauga Search Engine Marketing web site.
