All this SEO seems very involved! What happened to my lifestyle lying on a beach in one of the outer Islands of Fiji while the money meters on my blogs just kept clocking up the thousands of dollars as they come flowing in?

At the moment all my time is taken up with learning, day and night and every weekend and I know that there is a lovely banana lounge out on a pacific Island with my name on it just waiting for me. In the meantime I need to be gaining, not losing my SEO rankings, so back to the drawing board.

I honestly doubt it would help Jill, but it’s one of the options you could try. Chances are, that if you go about your SEO with a white hat mindset, you will never have any problems

Hi Sean,
What a great article. Here I am thinking that once a high ranking on search engines is achieved I could relax and take it easy…not the case.

I need to be constantly improving SEO for my website and I need to have SEO foremost on my mind so that the competition doesn’t get the upper hand.

Sean, If my rankings drop through suspected Black Hat tactics, is an appeal to the search engines via email very effective. Are the chances good or slim that they will accept an explanation that I have made a mistake that may have looked like Black Hat SEO?

I agree, it’s easy to make corrections online, much easier, faster and cheaper than changing any printed media.

But you have to constantly watch what is happening as well, as other sites will come up and try to dominate your niche.

So make sure that you are not losing your SEO ranking by keeping it the best.

Been there. Very frustrating. One page made it up to #17, just to be outside of the top 1000 one week later. I still haven’t figured out what happened and another week later it bounced back to somewhere in the 30s. Very strange indeed. But I will have a look at the blacklisting article you mentioned
