Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Travis,

Thanks for the help. I may have joined that directory myself - it's no good then?

Wow thanks for the info that is quite an increase. I have been doing some link building - joining new directories and commenting on other photographers blogs etc.....but going from ~1200 to ~2700 is pretty amazing.

Any way of seeing the new referring pages and whether they are a negative influence?

That said, the drop was happening from around mid November to now, so this doesnt explain the initial slide. Was that around the time hummingbird happened?

Hi all,

I am a photographer and do my own website and links etc. Website is: http://www.mckayphotography.com.au

I have enjoyed good google rankings for my main keyword 'wedding photography sydney' for many years, and even recovered after taking a hit from the penguin (may 2012) update.

But the last month has seen a steady drop from around 2nd - 4th down to now 10th. I have analyzed my site using all the moz tools and on most counts eg moz rank and moz trust I am ahead of my competitor sites....but still rank under them on google.

So I would greatly appreciate on advice people could give on getting my ranking back up again!

Thanks in advance

Darryn
