Website Survived Last Year Penguin & Panda Updates but dropped Jan 2013?

[firebubble]

Hi, I have a website which was gaining good rankings through 2012 and even looked in pretty good shape after all of the Penguin and Panda updates in 2012 but in Jan 2013 the sites rankings have been very poor as it dropped for all terms.

It is still in the index and webmaster tools shows the sites keywords but is showing places of 100 or so rather than 10 - 16 in the seeps.

The website is www.mywebsitehosting.org

Any ideas why this has dropped in January and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks.

P.s I have made a change to the homepage content but inner pages for the website also dropped to which have the same content as they did a few months ago.

Looking at your backlinking profile it seems quite clean in terms of anchor diversity. My feeling is that the January effect is a penguin refresh.

Even though your backlinks anchors are diversity they do feature the part phrase website hosting, then fewer but still many vps hosting, domain names and web hosting.

Are these the phrases you have taken a hit for? I'd build more of mywebsitehosting.org even though you have website hosting as part of your brand name.

You have some level of control over this with forum signatures if the accounts are still alive you could change these to be less keyword driven and see if in a month something pops back.

This is all I could find apart from directory listings but I know sites that rank 100% on directory listings!

Hi Brian, thanks for your reply. These are the terms that it was hit for but in web master tools shows mywebsitehosting.org as the largest keyword usage.

I will take your advice though on the forum signatures as these are pretty low quality so is worth a try to try and save the site.

Thanks for your help.

Webmaster tools is not a great tool to use to see your backlinks in detail.

I'd go non keyword related in your forum signatures if possible at least until you readdress the balance.

Hi, can I ask what you used to look at the backlink profile so that I can check this too?

Thanks.
