Hi all

Looking to see if someone can take a look at a site for me.
I've spent a lot of time blogging for a keyword that has around 20k searches per month. All out blog posts link to the product page to complete a sale.
Around 6 months ago we ranked for the term at around position 60 then it disappeared even after spending money on backlinks and adding more content.
Anyone willing to take a look at the site for me and give some advice to see if we are going wrong somewhere?

I've been paying someone to buy PBN links to boost the rankings but I'm told that these won't appear in semrush etc so I don't really have a lot to go on as per volume of links pointing to the site etc.


Thanks

Thanks for sharing the details — happy to offer some insights based on what you've described.

Here are a few key areas worth reviewing:

Backlink Profile Quality: Even if PBN links aren’t visible in tools like Semrush or Ahrefs, they might still influence your rankings. I'd look at any signs of spammy patterns, over-optimization, or unnatural anchor text distribution.

On-Page SEO Factors: Internal linking, page structure, content depth, and keyword targeting can all impact rankings just as much as backlinks.

Indexing or Penalty Issues: If the page dropped after previously ranking, it could be a sign of an algorithmic adjustment or a manual action — especially if other pages on the site are fine.

If you’re open to it, share some non-sensitive info like the target keyword or content type, and I can break things down a bit further for you.

Thanks could you take a look if I was to DM you?
 
PBNs still work but if you're stuck at 60+ and dropped, it's probably an on-page or anchor issue. Check internal linking and speed.
 
You should be able to move past position 60 without any links, so I would focus on the site before moving to off page links.
 
Send me the website URL,
I can take a quick look
 
Could be pbn links the high DR but tons of exact match outbound links and zero traffic. So almost worthless.

I’d buy guest posts on real sites with real traffic and low OBL.
 
See where your competition is buying their backlinks and copy them. That is the most fool proof way to start ranking, imo. It costs a bit of cash but is one of the most reliable ways to improve rankings
 
Your keyword won’t rank because the page isn’t strong, relevant, or competitive enough yet.
