My sincerest recommendation is to sit down with the Beginner's Guide to SEO and read it while examining your site. It is a relatively short guide which is exceptionally helpful.
When you are finished, run through your site again this time with Google's Guidelines.
These steps will help your site's rankings improve.

Thanks Ryan,
I really appreciate the inputs. I will try to correct these problems as soon as possible.
Please keep the suggestions coming... Thanks a lot....

I would suggest there is a Panda problem with your site. You probably worked hard on the site so prepare yourself for a bit of tough love here.
The articles are absolutely spammed with your keyword.
Ensure each article uses the keyword at least once. Two to three times is great. Beyond that is completely unnecessary. Back down to only using the keyword as appropriate.
The first snippet on your home page is for a "Britney Spears Sweet Dreams" article. The snippet is only 120 words yet you repeat "Britney Spears Sweet Dreams" three times, and throw in "Sweet Dreams" a fourth time. When I click through to the actual article, it is 183 words which contains the "Sweet Dreams" phrase 8 times. It is far too spammy.
Another opportunity to improve the site is removing your footer. You have three columns of links. Perhaps they can be moved up to the sidebar. Footer links are not used frequently by your site visitors and their links are considered as lower value.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks, I have modified the thread and asked for members if they could review my website which is homeescapade.com

You are welcome to share your URL and request feedback. I would suggest doing it as a new Q&A but either way works.

Hi Ryan,
You have been a great help and inspiration to me here at Seomoz. Thank you for all the valuable answers and insights that you provide.
Is it okay if I ask the great people here at Seomoz to evaluate my website so that I may do the necessary changes to recover from google panda or site penalty?
Thanks in advance...

The last confirmed Google update was on Nov 3rd which changed rules related to query "freshness". No announcement has been made related to an update today.
On any given day various sites drop in rankings due to a variety of factors. It could be related to one of the hundreds of unnamed changes Google makes to it's ranking algorithm each year, or it could be due to other reasons.

SEO transfer to new website
My website currently has some strong SEO and i will be re-developing the website on a wordpress platform...which will change many of the existing URL. Will this affect the current pages that are well indexed in Google? Does using Wordpress or changing the URL extension (.html to .php) make a difference? If i want to make a clean transition without effecting our existing SEO...what are some essential steps i need to take? Example. Current page is www.mydomain.com/name.html .... and the new URL would be www.mydomain.com/product/name.php Thanks

Same Branding, Same Followers, New Domain After Penalty... Your Opinion Please
I know I've asked a similar question in the past but I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my website. I've got a website at thewebhostinghero.com that's been penalized by both Panda and Penguin. I cleaned up the link profile and submitted a reconsideration request but it was denied. I finally found a handful of additional bad links and I submitted a new disavow + reconsideration request a few days ago and I am still waiting. That said, after submitting the initial disavow request, the traffic has completely gone and while I expected a drop in traffic, I also expected my penalty to be lifted but it was not the case. Even though the penalty might be lifted this time, I think that making the website profitable again could be harder than creating a new website. So here's my questioning: The website's domain is thewebhostinghero.com but I also happen to own webhostinghero.com which I bought later for $5000 (yes you read that right). The domain "webhostinghero.com" is completely clean as it's only redirecting to thewebhostinghero.com. I would like to use webhostinghero.com as a completely new website and not redirect any traffic from thewebhostinghero.com as to not pass any bad link juice. Pros: Keeping the same branding image (which cost me $$$) Keeping the 17,000+ Facebook followers Keeping the same Google+ and Twitter accounts Keeping and monetizing a domain that cost me $5000 webhostinghero.com is a better domain than thewebhostinghero.com Cons: Will create confusion between the 2 websites Any danger of being flagged as duplicate or something? Do you see any other potential issues with this? What's your opinion/advice? P.S. Sorry for my english...

Is Google taking longer to rank new sites?
We run a lot of "niche blogs" and websites focused on fairly non-competitive keywords. At the start of the year, we used to be able to put up websites and be able to achieve almost instant rankings on these sites. However, recently, it seems to be taking a lot longer for these sites to rank. It also seems to be taking longer for Google to index links. Is this a recent change in Google to protect against spam and help filter out the lower quality sites? Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

Website gone from SERPs - please help to understand why
Dear SeoMozers, My website www.buy-hosting.net ist around for about 6 months. It performed quiet well the first months and for the main keyword "Buy Hosting" it went continously better, until #7 in SERPS of Google. Then, some days ago, it suddenly disappeared and traffic went down to nearly zero. It is not even in the Top 100 for "buy hosting" anymore. Can anyone please advice me, what could be the reason for that and what I could do about it? I'am desperate, beacuse I worked about 8 months nearly 100% of my time on that project... Thank you and kind regards
