Ranking questions

[Whiteflash]

We have questions about our ranking and would like some advice.

How are you doing your backlinks? Can you focus on a more narrow demographic target?

We are are making a lot of articles in our field and post them to our blogs.

TLA may be doing more harm than good. Ditto for the multi-topic free reciprocal link directory.

Also in the Diamond Education subtopics  - I'm seeing  some duplication when I search on random text strings. Is it your original content or syndicated feeds?

No concrete answers - just trying to identify things that might be displeasing to Google ...

Articles we are posting on our site are only unique articles, so what duplicates, can you show me what duplicates did you found?

Thanks for trying to help me

It's looking like others may be copying the first paragraph or two of your content, then linking back to you. diamondweddingringsets. org/jewelry/wedding-jewelry-shopping-in-houston is one example, and most of the duplicate content I've seen has been on that domain.

Hi Ashley,

I'm following up on older questions. I'm seeing you at 16 for loose diamonds, and 46 for engagement rings with the URL you've shown. Threads on Q&A don't get bumped with new activity, so if you'd still like some advice, I'd suggest opening a new question with current information and seeing what people have to say. The Q&A section is a lot more active now than it was in March, so you're likely to get a few new viewpoints.
