Update #I don't even know anymore
I haven't killed myself. Yet.
I have done 0 work since the last update. I've been slavin' away at my shitty job.
Site #1
I got 1 keyword in top 10. Wohooooooooooooooooo.
Other sites are ranked anywhere from 30 to 100.
Isn't this what porn addiction does to you?
Instead of jacking it to some gorgeous, pristine model on met art you jack it to some average looking 35 years old doing some weird shit on cam.
I've been working 48 hour weeks, so i didn't really do much this month.
I've also checked another site i built at the same time with site#1. Well this thing can hardly be called a site; it's a wordpress install with 5-6 articles, zero off-site seo, and i'm pretty sure the on-site isn't spot on...
They take longer but they should eventually rank.
Also something i forgot to add: I added another article in July, indexed in 10 hours and ranked #15 for the keyword. 2 days later it's gone. Not even in top 300.
Something is very wrong here.
Long story short:
5 months website rising slowly but steady. (It has 30 backlinks AT BEST)
On 8 June I built 2 web 2.0s and a couple of other weak-ish links. (pointed at inner pages)
On 15 June I made a reddit post which got me 200 visits (I believe that could be relevant, social signals and...
Site#1 was definetely penalized. JFC. Overoptimzed anchors, most likely.
This is probably why the site peaked for a couple of days than completely dropped.
I'll try and dilute them to see if it comes back.
Also I have the impression that there's a lot of content canibalization. The whole...
Does Google count differently the anchors pointed at the 2 different versions of the site?
Initially, I've built all the links to the non-www version, then I changed to www and the 4-5 links i've built since are exact or partial match. This leaves me with a decent profile on the non-www...
Update#8
Site#1 Main kw is #60, everything sucks. Got an all time record of organic traffic: ZERO for two consecutive days.
This journey is like doing hard drugs. It brings nothing of value. Even drugs make you feel good for a couple of hours. THIS?
It only gave me frustrations.
SEO. Not even...
It bugs me and i haven't been able to find a clear answer. Does an actual human being have the see your site in the serps, or does it simply count the times that keyword has been used as a query?
If it's the former, how come you get impressions for keywords ranked on the 4,5,6 page? Does G pluck...
Update#7
Site#1 Rankings
I've been really inactive lately with work on these sites. Motivation is at an all time low.
This ain't working out at all. AT ALL.
You might see the "illusion of progress" with rankings on site#1, but being ranked 20 is the same as being ranked 2000. It gives you the...
Competitor for site#1 got penalized. Great. I tried to replicate his best links and leave out the spam, but just great.
Main kw dropped again to the sixth page because why the hell not.
Update#6
Good News!
Something very eerie happened. I asked a member on this forum for advice and he told me 2 things: kw density too high and that my site wasn't ranking for the brand name at all. Well, 2 days later and without changing absolutely anything, the site started ranking as you see...
This is the answer I looked for. It wierded me out that all of the sudden the site lost all TF, with 30TF links pointing to it. It didn't make sense even in the context of Majestic metrics.
I didn't want to start a discussion on the validity of TF as a metric. Sorry.
I'm really hitting my head against the wall with my website. I have keywords around 4 words long and i have them at 0,8% density ranking at 70-80. Even the easy keywords that start getting unrelated results on the first page of G are sitting on the 3-4 page. Can i have 5 minutes of your time to...
I see many websites losing a ton of trust flow in the last couple of days, including one of mine. I have a website with 20TF/30CF and now the TF dropped to 0 with the CF remaining the same.
Update#5
Something very weird happened to my sites and many of my competitors: Majestic TF dropped. Site#1 went from 20TF/30CF to 0TF/30CF. Not even 1 or 2, ZERO. I don't know how or why it happened, maybe Majestic updated something or I don't know.
Rankings:
Site#1
