        First I would look at the amount of search queries and the difficulty of the keywords that you are going after.

        Next, I would make sure that the webpages are optimized for these keywords. SEOmoz does a great job of explain how to do this. Make sure to use the site crawl and on-page analysis tools that SEOmoz offers.

        Third, I would look at finding good places to start linking building with. Great places to start are web directories. A lot of these sites have major linking juice. Utilize the mozbar when surfing the net.

        It's a process but I guarantee you that if you take the advice of the SEOmozzers and utilize the tools that SEOmoz has, you will see results.

          Hi jain,

          I noticed on your homepage that you announced you just  rolled out a new design. Here's your headline:  "New Design With Fresh Looks & Fell Launched

          So I have a couple of questions. Did your drop for these keywords coincide with the launch of the new design? If so, you might check into problems with potential duplicate content or site architecture problems that are interfering with your SEO.

          Also, has the drop in rankings for these keywords also coincided with a drop in traffic? If traffic has stayed steady or even improved, perhaps the rankings drop is not do much to be concerned about. How are conversions?

          Last question: Do you have a Web content editor or manager? If so, you might direct them to go through the site and correct misspellings and grammar errors. I noticed several right off the bat on the home page, and that's not only a problem for search but for your users because it's going to effect trust. Just on a cursory glance I found these:

          "can not" - should be "cannot"

          "cutomized" - should be "customized"

          "look and fell" - should be "look and feel"

          "domian" - should be "domain"

          "wind turbine" - should be "wind turbines"

          "check out few reason why you should choose us" - should be "Check out a few reasons why you should choose us"

          Also, your copyright says 2006-2011, which makes me wonder how new the "new look and feel" really are. Perhaps this info just wasn't updated with the new design? Copyright should always include the current year.

          I hope this helps a little. I think a little editing and tighter attention to detail might help you recover.

          Dana

            Hi Tom,

            As ahrefs.com, you have 55% anchor text link with "powered by prolimehost dedicated server" and 40% anchor text link with "powered by prolimehost". This might also be major factor in drop in ranking.

              @dana tan

              thank you soo very much for such a detailed review and suggestions...our traffic, business, keywords everything went soo down suddenly & we rolled out new design long back and yes even i just saw alot of gramatical mistake which i have forwarded my manager to check and solve it.

              @chad

              hey chad how are you doing ?

              thanks for writing such a nice description & yes as per my knowledge complete onpage is done, we have keywords in article we have the same in meta too, what i am worrying over here is offpage i highly suspect my old seo company did something bad which killed us.

              @patel

              kem cho bhai? maja ma! thank you for helping and finding this...but those links are not made by us they are posted by our client or by designer whom we giv the work do you really think those needs to be removed  ?
