Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Following is what you should consider -

• You got the links but are they good quality links? Hope you didnt make ordinary directory submissions which will end up in penalty.
• make sure the there is no duplicate content which is a common thing in eCommerce sites.
• In fact make sure you have the content on the site normally on ecommerce sites, there is very less content, remember Google likes fresh content. OPtimise it for keywords (no stuffing).
• Use keywords in Title tags (the keywords for which you want to rank for).
• If possible, write some good blogs related to your market niche and post it on some good blog sites and get a link from there.
• Make Google + profile, be active on it and add link to your site in google + profile intro section (this is a good followed link)

Hope that helps.

Hey Joel, you got some nice suggestions from others just adding on to that, you can also make links to your Google plus profile page. That increase your PA (Page Authority). This helps transfer the link juice back to the blog links or other custom links that you have in your profile. You should read Mike's blog regarding this-  http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-to-prepare-for-authorrank-and-get-the-jump-on-google

Further, you can add your website link in your Profile introduction section of Google plus profile (and you can also chose the anchor text as you like). This will be a good followed link to your site !!

mashable.com is also a very good side for marketing ideas and social media marketing strategies.

yes that's right but getting content on your own site is a case where we are getting fresh content on our site which is a ranking factors in Google but getting a link from another site though blogs is a different thing.

Thanks mate, I didnt think about that!! More than few blogs on the same id might be taken as similar to blog network ..

Do you guys think that adding good quality blogs to blogger.com and then getting a link from those blogs will help ?

I normally do a manual search for my keywords as most of them as inside top 50

Also, Google rankings are different for different Google settings like it will be different for Australia while different for different states in Australia.

No Google will not penalise your site for adding phone nos.

But Its best practice to add keyword than phone no for ex:

Keyword- Phone no| Company name

thanks mate!

thanks Nakul yeah I know things have really changed now. Its much more complex than before.

thanks Keri !

yeah I understand It takes time but most of the sites have strict policy that we can not put any other sites links and its making link building via blogs more and more difficult because of the huge number of spammers on web. And content marketing is future of SEO. So things are getting bit tough for SEOs I guess.

there was a minor Google update in Oct 5 called Penguin #3 which impacted 0.3 % of queries. However main update was released on sept 27 which targeted exact match domains. If your url is all about keywords then you might have got hit because of that.

I recommend removing bad links manually. Use URL itself as anchor text. Get links from blogs.

If things still doesn't work then try changing titles for low competition keywords. Also optimise the site copy for the same. Don't use keywords as anchor text for link building.

Hope that helps!

I guess you just have to check it manually. Though your question is not very clear. What you should be more careful is how you should do 301 url redirect from non www version to www version.

Is there any good blog submission site which does not have long waiting period before article is published and which allows followed link from blog?

I have a list of such blog submission sites but they all either need weeks delay till it gets approved or never gets approved.

So I would really appreciate If you can tell me some of such sites that you are aware of..

Its a long story, I made few ordinary links then site dropped so had to remove them. After that I made some decent links. Things were still same. I made one good blog link and the site rankings suddenly started rising and for some reason blog was removed and site ranking dropped again.

yeah Its a very tricky situation. It definitely needs more work than other similar sites.

One of my site is ranking for all the main keywords except one.

This keyword is just a variant of those keywords which are all ranking in top 10 (page 1) in Google.

Why is it happening? Does Google punishes site for one keyword.

I know competition of keyword matters but other keywords with similar competition are ranking.

And even the site is very well optimized for this keyword (titles and site copy without any stuffing)

Any Solutions ?

yeah fair enough .. Thanks Andy

Hi Simon, Thanks for your comment. I am very well aware of the things you explained and our social media is doing already great regarding what you said. I was just curious about what I asked in my qn.

You know how sharing on social networking sites can act as social signal for ranking but I was wondering that what type of sharing on fb/google + ?

does it has to be our site links all the time or any sharing other than our own site links matters too ?

lets say if we are just discussing something on fb/google+ without our site link does that count too?

social signal is sent only when we share our own sites link on social sites or through any kind of activity on our social fb/google+ page ?

If you want to tell anything else connected with social signal please go ahead ..
