      Hi,

      First excuse my but english. I am from France.

      Since two years i have lost place for the most important of my keyword in google search.

      The loss is gradual. It's been more than two years as I do not do link building. I do not know what to do. I just read your article on link building. (http://moz.com/blog/beginners-guide-to-link-building)
      I would like if possible for someone to take a look at my website to see what is wrong and what i have to do do. For reasons of discretion I do not want to link the site name here, but you can see the domain name by following this link. http://riador.com/lien.html
      Thank you to all.

        Have you ever purchased links, participated in link schemes or used an SEO company? You have over 62,000 links from only 235 domains, this looks suspect to me and it probably does to Google too.

        If I was you, I'd track down all of the bad links that point to your website - Moz's Open Site Explorer is a good start to find these - and use Google's disavow tool to get rid of them. If you log into Webmaster Tools do you have any warnings/penalties in there?

        You may be looking at a few months before your site starts to recoup but these are the steps I'd take. I'd be more than happy to discuss in further detail if you wish to message me or contact me on social media.

          LJDigital is spot on.

          First you need to create a web master tools account - if you don't have one already.

          Here is how: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/34592?hl=fr

          After that look into Web master tools -> Search Traffic -> Manual action and see if you have something there.

          That would be a good start.

            Thanks for replay,

            I have webmaster tools and there are not manual action in my website.

            In moz open site explorer i only see 1844 links. LJ Digital can you tell me what tools you user, because you find 62,000 links from only 235 domains.

            I forget to tell that in my keyword i was in the first  (and top) page of google but now for all keyword i am in the page 2 or 3 or 4.

            Thanks

              Hi There

              There certainly looks like there's an issue with links. Here's a few resources on cleaning them up;

              • http://searchengineland.com/five-steps-to-clean-up-your-links-like-a-techie-166888
              • http://moz.com/blog/google-webmaster-tools-just-got-a-lot-more-important-for-link-discovery-and-cleanup
              • http://www.greenlaneseo.com/blog/2014/01/step-by-step-disavow-process/
              • http://savvypanda.com/blog/guide-how-to-use-google-disavow-tool.html

              Essentially you need to remove and/or disavow as many bad links as you can.

              I'm also going to guess that you could use a design upgrade. I don't have any data to back this up, but it's just my opinion looking at the site. A poor design could also bring Panda into play. I've seen some sites get a bump after a design upgrade.
