Critique my SEO please (will pay with tits & ass)

IPretty sure myself and greenleaves are the only two dudes here who actually tossed some advice out

And yet I have not received my payment! This thread needs more ass (of the female variety)

Edit; the site might offer value, but not for the specific page/keywords I was sent.
 


Dchuk, the problem with the percentages you posted is that they are occurring in an immediate Post-Penguin filter world. They are the ones now flying under the radar until the next filter. Until Penguin becomes a rolling on-line filter, you will see that type of crap. That's why copying the Top 10 is no longer good advice. Granted it used to be great advice. The landscape has just changed now.

I don't want any part of this dick measuring contest but by refuting your (imo) ill advised (at best) anchor percentage advice, I gave the OP some (what I consider good) advice.

Speaking of: OP, you're a retard. Facebook that niche. Target fans of 2nd amendment pages and prepper groups. That's the best SEO advice you'll see on this entire thread. Now pay Andreas his tits already.
 
What's the best thing about sharks on the hunt?


There's plenty of scraps left over for us pilot fish swimming alongside.
 
Fuck I love this thread. It's got everything: boobies, SEO, coding, testosterone.

I used to pay more attention to the top ten but now I just do a quick once over as part of preparing my bid for a new client. If something is sticking in my way I might do some digging, what's the hold up? But usually it's the same exact steps to rank each client, I even have a packet my employees follow along to. (corporate nazi style) Good wholesome links from good wholesome sites, warm fuzzy content with just a dash of local signals and my keywords and bam.

Granted I deal in plumbers, power washers and wedding planners.... But I rank them, me rank them long time.

Have to agree with Eliquid and Grindstone here on the anchor %. I'm seeing sites rank with less than 5% after this last Penguin. They really seemed to have dialed up the filter on that one.

I'm seeing people rank without the keyword in the title and no anchors even. Going forward it looks like get the most authority you can and just let very light on page drive you up.
 
Can you explain authority and how to measure it?

That should actually read trust not authority, and at the moment it seems trust can simply mean not tripping filters or just a bit of age under you belt.

Some sites I see ranking now definitely are not an authority as they are weak domains overall.

It's still early after the shakeup.

Many of these probably just washed up in the wake of the previous sites that got killed and are not necessarily a model to follow in and of themselves.

As someone who was easily spamming my way to the top 10 of highly competitive terms, I'm now relearning a different approach which looks to be less is more.

To add to that, however, hijacking authority (should be easy to spot, doesn't take anything to measure) seems to work quite well too. Have a spammed page from May still holding strong doing this.
 
Had a look at the OP's serp. Only found one site that had 20%+ anchor according to ahrefs and it had like 14 referring domains only.

One thing about anchor % and Penguin is that if you have a very low amount of ref domains/backlinks they filter gives you more leeway.

Obviously if you had only 2 links and one was the anchor that's 50% but they aren't going to penalize you based off that. So just anchor % on their own doesn't work as you need to factor in the amount of links that make up that % too.

OP: how did the recent Penguin update affect the site? What about the rest of the serps, did some decent aff sites get dropped? Or have these weak off page ones been there for a while?

Serp is the same in one I had a top 5 ranking that got dropped with Penguin. Everything now is either super low CI or authority sites like YT.

Another thing about anchor text, even back before the Payday update you could front page Payday terms with less than 10% anchor so I doubt you need much on this serp either.
