Another month over month drop - give up time?

I've gone from top 5 ranking on my best keywords to page 3, and for most key phrases, they don't appear at all, when they used to be on page 1.

My site has 1000s of pages. Lots of "thin" content because they are just pictures. There are some duplicate titles, because there are bound to be similar images.

But otherwise I think I've followed all the SEO practices. Over the past 18 months there have been cliffs. I had another 20% drop of traffic between June and July. I normally don't suffer summer declines. Traffic is 50% of what it was this time last year.

I have 80 "Top linking sites", I don't know if that is high or low. Sounds low.

My competition is blowing me away this year. I'm beside myself.

I do run ads on the site, but if I don't have ads then there really is no point for me to have a site.

My questions are, assuming you have enough info:
1) is it possible to save a site once it has crashed?
2) like I said, I follow on the standard SEO practices, what else is there?
3) the site is plain php, if I switch to WordPress, would that help?

Thank You.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

are my YT keywords being ignored?

I have 3hr+ YT videos, so I chapter them out quite extensively. I've read in a couple places if I have too many keywords just grouped together they will all be ignored. Are my keywords being ignored...or are they even being crawled...through my chapters section? Also, is hashtagging in a chapter name good, bad, or not at all relevant? example chapters: Bookmarks: 0:00 Intro 4:25 Little Panda #littlepanda 13:04 Royale With Cheese Megaways #royalewithcheesemegaways 24:48 Big Bass Bonanza #bigbassbonanza 33:02 Book of Cats #bookofcats 44:11 Tractor Beam #tractorbeam submitted by /u/bauerwelson [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/3Gx8IPZ
