I have a 2 1/2 year old site that needed a redesign. While I was at it I also went out at the same time and started on getting one way backlinks.
It has been about two weeks that I have completed both and I noticed my rankings have been falling for my major keyword pharase then coming back a bit only to be falling further down again in the rankings.
Is this normal? How long can it be before I see any positive effects for getting extra backlinks?
Really confused here. I keep hearing backlinks can only help not hurt but it appears to be going in the wrong direction since I started.
Help!
If the site redesign meant that many pages now have new URLs then that will be a major factor.
How has your internal linking changed? That affects the flow of PR.
Have you got any canonical problems, causing Duplicate Content filtering?
