Hello SEO Community,

I’m facing a critical issue with my website, Vapors, and I’m in urgent need of expert advice.

The Problem:

Despite successfully acquiring high-quality backlinks, it appears that these links are not passing link equity to my site. This issue is not only affecting my site's ability to rank well in search engines but also seems to be leading to a decrease in organic traffic.

Key Details:

1. Backlink Sources: The backlinks are coming from reputable, high-authority sites, so the quality of the links shouldn’t be the problem.

2. Link Equity Not Passing: When I analyze the backlink profile, it’s clear that these links are not contributing to my site's SEO performance as expected. It’s almost as if the links are being disregarded by search engines.

3. Technical Check: I’ve double-checked all technical aspects on my end – no issues with robots.txt, no 'nofollow' attributes on the links, and the pages on my site are fully crawlable.

4. Possible Algorithmic Issue?: I’m starting to wonder if this could be related to a recent Google algorithm update or some kind of penalty that I’m not aware of.

What I’ve Done So Far:

• Submitted the affected URLs in Google Search Console for reindexing.
• Checked for any manual actions or penalties – nothing found.
• Ensured my site structure and internal linking are in order.

Seeking Advice:

Has anyone else encountered a similar issue where high-quality backlinks are not passing link equity? What steps did you take to resolve it? Are there specific tools or techniques that I should be using to troubleshoot this further?

I’m really looking forward to any insights or advice the community can offer. This issue is having a significant impact on my SEO strategy, and I’m eager to find a solution.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,
