      Dear all,

      I started to working on SEO on my website http://www.techstation.it and I have some thing that I would clarify. I see a lot of differences between internal links of my website and my competitors that usually are placed a bit better. (Please check attached image).

      They have A LOT of internal links, about 2.000+ instead 137 (mine), that's wrong in my SEOMOz dashboard. Every news and article page has 120-130 links to other contents. About teh external followed links:

      • Mine: 1,674
      • #1:  2,018
      • #2: 316 (????) - this is placed really good for some competitive keywords
      • #3 (best ranked): 7,905 links

      I have two more points that I would fix:

      Articles ranking

      We were one of the first 5-6 website that published at the launch day the review of Intel Core i7 3960X CPU and started with a ranking in the last first page results, a few days alter in the second and now we are at the end of the second page. This happens .. I think... every time 😕

      All my article pages are graded with "A grade" in the control panel. So what should I do for increase my rankings?

      Thank you very much in advance!

      Alex

        Think you forgot the screenshot, but by what you are telling I can imagine that your site hasn't built up a strong trust and authority compared to the other sites, and that's why your rankings drop. They get indexed high because it's fresh news but drop because more authoritive domains start talking about same subjects and pass you in rankings.

        The grade A you see in the control panel is a good thing, but it's only 1 element of SEO, you should really develop a strategy for your site to get quality backlinks.

        I hope you can post the screenshot so I can take a closer look at it.

          Thank you for your answer!! Here you have the image. If there is any issue you can check it here: http://imgur.com/Bkjjm

          We have some inbound links from some news aggregator, some forums and a few manufactuers of the products that we are reviewing. For sure I will try to increase the number of them, but..more than that what can I do? On page factors seems to be good.

          One question about those internal links: one site have 7.000 internal links, we have 139 (taht sounds strange becasue every page has about 120-130). How it's possible?

          Thanks a lot!

          Alex
