Need help ranking my site

[Carla_Dawson]

Hi,

Can anyone help me out? I am trying to get this site ranked for "Villa General Belgrano". It was on the first page of Google and then it disappeared. Did I over optimize the anchor text?

Ok I think I just figured it out. My client decided to "help me" in the link building process. He added this link with the anchor text "Villa General belgrano" http://cordobaturismoafull.com.ar (see footer). I do think the site is over optimized

Hello Carla Dawson,

You have a few issues, 1st you have a 26% anchor text ratio for that keyword which is very high.  2nd you lost 234 backlinks since Nov 19th.  I would find out why your losing backlinks that quick.

I would do the following

1. analyze your competitors densities and find out what is working for them, then use it.

2. Figure out if the quality of links your building are high enough quality, because it doesn't look like they are all sticking.  However never count on all of them sticking, but 234 in a little over a month is a lot and I would question it.

3. Start working on diversifying your backlinking structure with Ip, region, Anchor, and platform diversity.

Have a great day.

Thanks,

@carla - don't you love when clients help you with your link building lol.  It's always fun to fix that.  We had a few clients help us too with link networks they used with our tactics, the outcome wasn't good. They penalized their self 1 month after using the link network.

Performing SEO right the first time, or at-least trying until Google changes it, is less time consuming than going back and manually deleting links.  Sure you can use the disavow tool now, but who wants to manually look at every backlink of a site if you don't have to.  Not to mention the refresh time of the disavow tool is a bit long right now.  I had 1 site just refresh around 6 weeks.

Have a nice night.

Thanks Matthew

This really helped. My client decided to acquire links without letting me know. It's the first time I had a site go down instead of up and I panicked.

Happy holidays!
