I can’t know if there is a real cause-consequence relationship, but today my website PCDesktopCleaner.com is 4th for the keywords “Desktop Cleaner”, lang = en, country = us. The excerpt that google shows has the new text, so it has been spidered.

I don’t have 100% security but I believe keyword density correction did the trick.

Note: it’s a strange behaviour, I press refresh and there’s my site in the 4th place,  I press refresh again and it’s not there.  Will keep on watching this.

Update on May 5th, everything’s OK, the behaviour is stable and PDC is now in the 5th place for “Desktop Cleaner”.

Update on June 10th, PDC is consistently on the 3th-4th place for “Desktop Cleaner”.

I didn’t mean to “spam” google,  but when writing my copy, I used too many times my product’s name “PC Desktop Cleaner”. The title had it, the meta tag had it, almost every paragraph started with “PC Desktop Cleaner”.

Before the last change (with my previous draft pages) my site was in the 8th place for the keywords “desktop cleaner”  (language = en, country = us). Now, my site is on the 80th place or even worst.

After thinking about it and reading, I guess I’m in front of Google Spam Penalty.  Analysing my page with http://www.ranks.nl, these are my stats:

High keyword density

For the keywords “Desktop Cleaner” I am a serious candidate to Spam Penalty. Keywords are on the url, title, content, and headers, and are repeated lots of times on page text.

I’ve done a simple rewriting of the page, replacing “PC Desktop Cleaner” with PDC in most paragraphs. Now my density analysis look better:

Better keyword density

As usual, I cannot be 100% sure that the reason for my low ranking is the penalty, but IMHO it’s likely. I will follow this up as time passes.
