Now, I'm happy that I advanced from the 18th page to the 16th page, and it's ridiculous. There are pages coming up waaaaay before mine that are about the team that the site is about "sucking", and also lame-o EZBoard registration required sites. I don't think I was ever as low as I am now, even before.
I've been lurking here ever since then, and have hoped for good results after I've done most if not all of the optimizations that I've read here, but still nothing. I finally got re-added to Yahoo at the end of February, which I thought would have helped the PR, but not enough.
I've invested a lot of time and money building my site, and now seeing it get blown out of the water by tripod and freebie sites in the Google results for my main keywords is hard to take.
This is partly a venting thread, and partly a "what can I do?!?" thread. I've masked my dynamic urls, I've replaced all the font size=4 with h3 or h2, I've linked back to Google, and the list goes on and on.
Has anyone else ever had to deal with anything similar? How did you handle it? Did you ever get back to where you were?
Thanks,
