Looking for critical review of site

[Atomicx]

I am looking for a lot of insight into my gaming site

hiddentriforce.com

We have been growing a ton on our social networks, but the site is not growing as quickly as we would like. We have a pretty decent back link portolio from being the first to break news, some unique pieces, a scholarship, etc.

But I would love another set of eyes on things.What could I do to drastically improve the site? To most improve its seo?

Hi Noah!

It sounds like you're looking for a site audit, which tends to be a bit outside the scope of Q&A. We've got a list of recommended companies if you'd like to look for a consultant, or if you have a specific question the lovely folks here should be able to help.

The backlinks are a problem. You have some obvious link networks on there, specifically:

top.ind.in  options.pw  submit.pw  aahana.co.in  toplist.space  toplist.ws  toplist.co.in  url.firm.in  alexa.in.net  toplist.in.net

All of these are on the same IP. That's a whole lot of domains on one IP address that all link back to you - and that's not the only network set. I'm not sure how much the sitewides from zeldaeurope.de and vgchartz.com are helping you either. The zeldaeurope is listed as an "affiliate" with almost 80,000 dofollow links. Google may be seeing that as a paid footer link.

Homepage is a bit slow - 2.9 MB and over 8 sec load time on Pingdom.

Content - mentions the 3 main keywords - "zelda" "triforce" and "game" or "gaming" at least 300 combined times in the code. It's pretty high, I think. Especially given that your title has Zelda three times as well. We've found that 1 is best, 2 if you're separating with pipe - but 3 is usually too much. So between the two, a bit of a Panda bite.

I also see two major ads above the fold. One is for Forex, the other for a bank. A refresh shows me Careers Australia & a cloud security company. I mean the ads aren't even closely related. A gaming site with a big forex ad tells me there's an issue somewhere, as well.

Sorry I can't go further but as Matt said, you could always get someone to help you out outside the forum.
