Default Getting Back On Top

Hi all, I was recently encouraged to join your boards by one of your top members. He says you guys are the best and I am ready to test that statement:-) I'm looking to return to the top (i'll take top 10, I'm not too greedy) with two sites that for years have/had been at the top of the rankings, but are now suffering.

The two sites are
www.aaascreensavers.com - Keyword "screensavers"
www.aaathemes.com - Keyword "desktop themes"

As little as one year ago, I had top SERPs (in G) for just about any keyword combination ($keyword screensaver, or $keyword desktop theme) you could think of, for example: wwe screensavers, disney screensavers, wolf desktop themes, american flag desktop themes, etc.

After the last few G updates (over the course of the last 10-12 months) I was down to just a single SERP for my main keywords, and now after the Jagger 3 release I appear to have been banished, most recently to page 16 and 10 respectively.

Some problems I see with the sites is that they are on a shared IP, they interlink to heavily probably, and perhaps keyword density.

Right now I rank well on MSN and decent on Yahoo for "desktop themes", but at one time I ranked in the top 10 on Yahoo for both main terms.

Anyway, I am open to any and all suggestions, hints, theories, ideas. Be gentle!

Thanks for your time,
Andy

Default Welcome...

Welcome to WPW, Andy. I'd highly recommend you post here as well to get a great report from ctabuk. It'll provide some very interesting ideas for you.

If you're concerned about the interlinking, rel=nofollow is a simple solution. The link is still there for your users, but Google won't view it as a site-wide link and issue any penalties for it.

The keyword density for "screensavers" is way high. I see it as over 22% right now. That could easily get you a penalty. Here is a useful link to check the density.

It'd probably help you out a lot to find some alternative words for screensavers. A brief history of screensavers could help, too. Dictionary.com had a decent one to get you started.

Since the whole site is about screensavers, I don't think it is necessary to have screensavers on every link in your main navigation. That'd save you a lot of occurrences.

I'm sure there are a ton more things to do, but that's a start.

Brian.
