Which Used to be #100-#300 in a VERY competitive keyword. All top 10 SERP from my competitor Has PR6-8. My sub page still ranked well like top 10 most of the time.
Thank god my sub page is where the main traffic comes from, (55k sub pages).
I tried by best with proper/legal SEO tricks.
Alright, a few days ago I was checking my SERP, whoops! I cannot find the front page in the result, I tired go though to #2k. No SERP at all, then I searched second keyword in from my front page which showed me something like #50.
Most likely I am just banned by google for that keyword ONLY.
I inspected my site, I found out some idea
1.There is some “hidden content” contains that “keyword”, which is not for “spamming” at all, but mouse over trick.
2.There is a sentence in the news contains repeated “keyword”, it is something like a slogan, nothing to do with spamming, “keyword”, “keyword”, “keyword” bla bla bla …….
3.The page is “proper” optimized here is how I put those “keyword”, <h1><h2><h3> with title attribute w “kw”, I keep them in prefect structure
-----------------------
<h1 title=”kw”>
<p>
<h2 title=”kw”>
<p>
<h2 title=”kw”>
<p>
<h3 title=”kw”>
-----------------------
anchor with title attribute w “kw”,
-----------------------
<a href=”http://eat-my-crap-and-die.com” title=”kw”>
----------------------
alt attribute in images w “kw”
---------------------
<img src=”http://pic-of-my-crap.com/this-is-my-crap.jpg” alt=”kw”>
--------------------
, keyword in <stronge>, <em>.
4.Keyword density for that “keyword” is a bit high, but it is still fair used, like 20%+. I will give you that.
GoogleGuy/ or anyone please tell me which of above will most likely drag down my SERP?
Over optimized?
High keyword density?
Repeated keyword?
I reckon Google is a bit over sensitive about the spamming crap, some site like mine completely innocent, although there is hidden content, I use that for users, I don’t believe google banned me just because there is repeated keyword.
now, i recode that page,
no hidden/ kw density 15% / no repeated kw
and i added $hit load of HIGH PR inbound link(PR5 +), i am sitting tight and waiting for the next dance.. however, this front page PR5-No-SERP issue still bugging me. Damn!
I highly doubt that Google has banned you site for one keyword. I fact I don't think they can do that. As for "over-sensitive" I would disagree. I think it's just part of the flux.
