Those are good instructions and I learned about the Diagnostics - HTML suggestion where I found some problems with duplicate titles for my site. Not serious but good to resolve them nevertheless.

I was writing original contents but my site http://symbian60v5.com effected yesterday which is really disappointing. I am trying to recover it following your tips.

Many websites that depend on Google for an income saw their traffic cut by anywhere from 20 to 80 percent when Google’s Panda algorithm update rolled out in February. Now there are reports that at least two websites have finally started to see more search traffic and higher Google rankings. How did they do it?

Bethany, thank you for looking through my site.

I’ll take your advice and try to optimize each post with just 2 or 3 keywords. I remember tweaking the content on some of my posts and did see some improvements in terms of rankings, but nothing as compared to pre-panda level.

I noticed that before Panda came, my posts ranked for a bigger variety of keywords but once hit, fewer keywords were getting ranked and even if it is, the rank is much lower than before. I guess that’s what causes the drop in traffic for my site.

Hopefully we will see some positive turnaround.

Hi Wareprise,

I have good and bad news. The good news is, I took a look at your site and it’s great. You have good keywords in your meta data and content, you have updated content, and from everything you described above it seems like you are on the right track.

The bad news is that nothing stood out to me as a major cause of the decrease in traffic. For the client mentioned in this post we just began to see traffic increase in the past couple weeks, and it hasn’t been the normal SEO honeymoon growth we see when optimizing content.

One piece of advice I can give is that we narrowed down the amount of keywords we optimize for on each page to just 2 or 3 keywords. That more targeted focus has seemed to help with rankings.

Good luck and hopefully you will start to see turnaround soon. Thanks for reading.

Bethany, thanks for your post.

My site was panda slapped since Feb 24 and again on April 11 and so far I’m not seeing much recovery.

I have:
1. Fixed everything under the HTML suggestions in WMT
2. Removed low quality content. (Any page with PR = N/A)
3. Removed / rewrote posts with duplicate content
4. Removed most ads and leave only 2 adsense block
5. Redesigned the site layout

I’m starting to believe that there may not be a recovery. Some are saying to trash the site and start a new one but I don’t want to do that yet.

Can you please help look through my site for any other areas to improve on?
