Hi Connor,

Pretty sure that this is not because of your keyword density as I can still read the text on your page as a normal person. However I wouldn't use the tabs in the footer of the page where you 'hide' a lot of content. I can't say for sure that this is related to your drop in rankings but at least it looks a bit nasty to me as the text there is way more than on the rest of the page.

Are you sure your main keywords you've used before are still on the new page?

Hi Connor,

I agree with Martin, I wouldn't say your website is over optimised but the content at the bottom is a little bit spammy. Was it just the homepage rankings that fell or is it a site-wide issue?

Appreciate your response Karl and Martijn.

The tabs at the bottom have been there prior to me coming on board with Appointment-Plus back in August 2012. I attempted to adjust the content in those tabs back in January 2013.

The result in adjusting those tabs was a drop in rankings.

1. Are you sure your main keywords you've used before are still on the new page?

Yes the main keywords are on the new page-scheduling software, online scheduling software, appointment scheduling software, etc.

**2. Was it just the homepage rankings that fell or is it a site-wide issue? **

We took a hit site wide due to Panda/Penguin. However, after the release of the new homepage 3 weeks ago and a google recrawl of our site, I have seen further loss in rankings.

Thank you for your responses,
