As it is things aren't improving.My Alexa has slipped miserably and also did my Page rank after Google conducted an updated for PR and backlinks.Initially with my old keywords I did get a good alexa rank from 515,560 it shot up to 245,500.My backlinks/inbound links increased and that enabled my PR up from 3-4.
With the new set of keywords that I have now I am facing problems.
Is it wise to remove the old existing keywords and add a complete new set or is it better to add new keywords keeping the already existing keywords.

What makes me confused is the manner in which the updates took place.I have been a firm believer that more backlinks helps you to increase your PR. The last time in January when PR and backlinks were updated I had backlinks of 265 nd 170 respectively for a couple of websites that I work upon.Yesterday when Google did the update my backlinks reduced to 121 and 115 respectively.But the funniest aspect is the the PR of bothe sites are the same.One with a backlink of 265 and a PR of 4 reduced to 124 and 3,where as the one with a backlink of 170 and a PR of 2 has it's back links to 118 but the PR shoots up to 3.How's this possible.COULD SOME ONE PLEASE CARE TO EXPLAIN.

first of all alexa is not accurate, if you really want to know if your traffic is improving try to use some web analytics like google analytics... and don't focus much on your PR.. focus on your kw rankings... its better to add kw than removing.. and last google loves quality than quantity backlinks, quality and relevancy of a link is very important...

That's right... Google analytics is very reliable to use for checking your traffic. It's really accurate.. You can easily determine from where your visitors came from..

Just focus on making your keywords ranking high and everything else will follow..

you must check your bad neighbourhood from bad-neighborhood.com , i think this is hampering your SERP and Alexa ranking as well.
