New on SEO Moz and need help regarding panda recover.

[sampaul549]

Hello Dear Members,

I am a new member to not only seomoz but to the SEO World as well. I was learning and implementing SEO from the last 5,6 months and got my website on Google.com page 1. I was quite happy with all the results. I recently got adsense approved on my site and was quite happy with the earnings as well.

Unfortunately the most recent Panda update has effected most of my SEO efforts I was doing from the last 5,6 months. My rankings are effected a lot and same with my earnings from adsense.

My rankings are effected in this manner.

A couple of keywords that were in top 3 spots (1st page Google.com) are now at 7,8 (1st page Google.com) position.

There are 3,4 pages that were previously on 5,6 spot (1st page Google.com) are now on 15, 16 spot (2nd page Google.com).

Now I want to ask what tools from seomoz can help me to regain my lost positions in Google?

Secondly what type of strategy (backlinks) can help me to regain the lost rankings?

Best Regards

Sam

Hello Sam.

That doesn't sound like panda.

If it was panda, you wouldn't be on page 1 for keywords, unless your keyword is the complete title and you are the only one with it.

More likely is that your competitors have moved up and maybe some of the sites you dot links from have been destroyed or maybe they dropped their links that point to you, or maybe they made them nofollow.

Dropping just a couple of positions would be a wonderful problem to have.

If you haven't already done so, I suggest you work through the training, so you understand more, then use the tools in the "Research Tools" menu item at the top of the page.
