        Hey,

        Working on Brand name or Non Money Anchor certainly makes sense. I have analysed you back-links profile and here are some bullets

        • Still more than 50% Money Anchors. I can't read Herbew but I try Google Translator :-). This should not exceed 10 to 20% by New Rules. Have a look: http://screencast.com/t/VECTkruhv8nC
        • 233k Links from 239 Sites coming from 110 IPs, hosted on 83 Subnets. Is this seems to be natural? Around 1k back-links from 1 site. More than 2 sites from 1IP. Even some IPs have same Subnets. If I can track this, Google is too smart to track this: http://screencast.com/t/4NhrNWGABW5e
        • Almost all links are coming from footers. This seems to a bit unnatural portfolio. Add some local high quality directories, make some free blogs with unique content, do some guest posting. Make things diversified in short
        • Get more social shares from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus
        • Add lots of need content consistently

        Follow the guidelines and may be you will see real improvements!

        Regards

          hey

          thanks for the quick answer!

          the problem is that this site are building websites, and in every customer new site they already put link in the footer so it looks like alot of links from the same url...

          if ill change now the anchor text in all the footers to the domain name, google can see this and Punish me again?

          thanks

            Did you ever get an action against you ? You can always no follow all the footer links with the exception of the home page thus keep visibility & traffic. Generally you would want domain names more than other anchors, Google's pretty lenient if you are a web designed knowing a lot of people do this but as mentioned no follow would be a good practice on it.
