    I have a question for everyone -

    After the June 27 problem two sites dropped in ranking. Both had 301 redirects from non-www to www. After they dropped I removed the 301 redirect from one of the sites but not the other. Today the site that I DIDN'T remove it from is back to pre June 27th rankings and the one I removed it from is still having issues.

    Of all the sites that came back today, can you tell me if you had 301 redirect on them or not? Thanks!

    Hi Chiara, my site had a recent 301-redirect which I thought was part of the problem on the 27th, and I left the redirect in place, and it has now bounced back in the SERPs.

    Hope that helps :)

    It does help - thanks! I just put the 301 redirect back on the other site in the hope that it will bring it back, too.

    *yawn* I still see a screwed-up Google when it comes to the site: search, and no increase in visitors.

    The data is not on all DCs yet... my site lost 80% of it's traffic when 27th google thing happen... now my logs show tons of visits from google.fr, but I still don't show here in canada... and I did rank better in canada than france. So the data is only on a few DCs.

    I still see good results in the datacenters, like they always have been through this three month crack smoking break Google has been doing. I just don't see any of this moving to google.com.

    Even the allinurl isn't working for me I know for certain that I have thousands, maybe tens of thousands of links from other sites (excluding forums) and Google isn't showing any of them via "link" or "allinurl". I can only find links to my site via searches for my domain name using "-site" to exclude my own domains. There is something seriously going wrong in Google' index and I think it is hurting a lot of really good content sites that users would find real value in.

    All I see is what my logs tell me... if I try a search that got me found, I'm not there... so it's on some DCs and not on others... like the one feeding me now... lol

    Same thing here friend. My main site that's been around since 2000 with no black hat, links to me becuase they like the site, and so on.... It's taken a huge hit on some key terms. This better rebound. Come on Google. There's got to be a better way of doing this....

    Google is just so fucked up and I have spent a month now trying to figure out what and why but I am giving up. 16 grand lost in a month and there is no positive change in sight.

    Personally I changed radically all the website after the drop of the 27 June.. I made it just becouse it was already planned to do it before that drop. So now all the contents of my website are absolutely unic. After that I increesed the backlink with quality trilateral exchanges.

    Since 27 of July my position is very better then before!

    This is my experience, pls post what you did, if you did something, to get back in the serps your website.

    Good luck to other.

    I also did some tweaking to keywords and removed some duplicate pages during the June 27th hit. Since July 27th we have came back stronger then before and even gained new top keywords. I don't think the changes I did were the cause of the return of Google traffic but I do think they help bring us back a little better then pre June 27th.

    I just hope nothing like this happens again. My site has been online for seven years and I never seen a drop like June 27th before. We have had many dips in traffic over the years but never a total one day drop like that.

    That is why all this leads me to believe that Google just made a big mistake on June 27th and they are not about to admit to it.
