I always check the rank of my Pinay Scandal post in Google search result pages when searching for “P!nay Scandal”. I started checking the first page of the SERPages to the 10th page but it’s not included on the list of the pages related to “P!nay Scandal”.

What’s wrong with it? Is it penalized by Google or it’s not just qualified to be included on the top 10 SERPages? These are the questions raised immediately in my mind wondering what really is happening.

I am not really good in SEO but I am trying to do good on it. I have read already lot of articles about SEO and learned lot of lessons about it. So, what I should do to know my mistakes in SEOing the said post is just to recall the principles or things that I should consider in doing SEO job.

Anchor Texts of Backlinks

I’m sure I did use the anchor text “Pinay Scandal” when linking back to the post that we are talking. But I forgot that Pinoy Bloggers are currently competing the top Google SERP for the keyword “P!nay $candal” through the SEO program started by Brother Macuha. In other words, those posts that have better SEO will surely be on the top position.

Does it mean that my SEO on my “P!nay $candal” post is not really good? Well… I think it’s true that my SEO on that post is really bad by considering the title of the post.

Last November 2007, when I participated the SEO program of Macuha on “Pinay Scandal”, I titled the post with “Pinay Scandal, Let’s Play the Trend.”

But the participants of this writing project are listing the entries. What I mean is, the titles of the entry-posts are used as the anchor text in links back to the entry-posts. In other words, other participants of this writing project use the texts “P!nay $candal, Let’s Play the Trend” as anchor text in linking back to my post. I should have taken advantage the procedure in participating the program and I should have use the “Pinay scandal” alone as the title of the post so that other participants will be linking to my post using the anchor text “Pinay scandal” alone. With this my “Pinay scandal” post will surely be on the first page of the Google SERP when searching for “P!nay Scandal”.

Penalized by Google?

I don’t think, the said post has been penalized by Google because it is rank 1 on Google SERP when seaching for “Pinay Scandal Trend”, “P!nay $candal Play”, “Pinay Scandal Let’s”, “Pinay Scandal, Let’s Play the Trend”. The real problem is not the penalty by Google but on the anchor text used to link-back to the post.
