Penguin / Panda Tool that really helps

Hey Gang,
I have been meaning to post this tool for awhile and here it is. This tool has really help me identify whether my site has been hit by these ugly creatures, Panda and Penguin.
o
Just to give you a clue, my site was doing about 7,000 uniques a day when Panda hit me in October 2012, then I went down to 1,600 uniques a day.

Then the recent Penguin update, moved my site from 1,600 uniques to 700 uniques.

This tool really helped me identify the problem and try to solve it.  Click Here to see the Panguin Tool by Barracuda.  

To make this tool work, you need to have a webmaster tool account.

I am sure most of you know, but Panda is content issues on your site and Penguin are back link issues.

I have been trying to correct the content issues and was focusing on the words swimming with the dolphins Puerto Plata and so far it seems to be working.

I can't seem to wrap my head around the back link issue and trying to find what and who is back linking to me. Not something I want to deal with. Anyone have any simple solutions?

Well have a great day!
God Bless,
John

26 Steps to 15K visitors a day

Hi Guys,
Its been ages since I have done a post. A little update, I some super high and lows in 2012.  The high were I was getting tons of business with Google Local, for 2011 through 2012. It was amazing how many hits and calls we got. 2011 was a record year for me.

Then at the end of 2012, I had some snags. They say you live and die with google and that is what happened. Google local took my listing off because they did not like I was using a Key Word phase as my title. I was using Dolphin Swim Tours and Tickets. Then I got my site hacked and porn links were put on my site, which I discovered in October. Then dolpinworld.org was no where to be found on Google in October and November. It was a challenge for me, say the least.

Right I am doing a retro of my sites. I have updated my swimming with the dolphins blog, check it out and let me know what you think.

I have been working on fixing my original site, www.dolphinworld.org with meta titles and descriptions and duplicate content.

With God's grace, I am doing everything possible to get back into the search engines.

Here is a really good article about 26 Steps in Getting 15,000 visitors a day. Its a lot of work, but worth it. Check it out.

So when you guys get a chance, reply to this blog and let me know how you and your websites are doing!
God Bless,
