I wrote a new site about 2 months ago and have been doing the seo dance and noticed a couple of days ago that my main page was knocked out of searches that I was working on. I checked my webmaster tools and there aren't any errors? I'm confused... any help appreciated askmycomputerguy.net relevant searches i was up in the first few on were brevard county computer repairs louisiana computer repairs eunice computer repairs
It seems your honeymoon period is over. This happens will almost all the new sites and blogs. They come at top for the targeted keywords instantly and then suddenly vanishes. Do some SEO and get backlinks with those keywords.
thanks for your post, but I've been at the top of Brevard computer repairs for years. I just wrote a new site, that in all aspects is better SEO suited than my last.
I think I'm not being clear. It's an old domain name with a new look. Backlinks haven't changed, so I'm confused as to why it fell out
Google is not stable to new site indexing. You could check the robots.txt if it is right of Google indexing.
As digitech said, your honeymoon period was over. Only a few months, 2 months actually won't get a stable ranking anyway. You have to take both times and links to stabilize your ranking from now on.
ok, i think you guys are missing it. My backlinks are fine. They are the same as they were before I wrote the new content. Google doesn't see a new domain with no backlinks, it sees the same domain with the same backlinks, but new content Another example was I had 6 different pages show up on a search using seoserp.com of the top 1000 sites for "orlando computer repairs" now I have 0 in the top 1000. What the heck is going on?
it will happen with every new site and you should keep some patience it will take some time just doing normal work and check if your domain have some SEO penalty may be this is the reason we have earlier faced this problem so we cant able to get ranking for the site after some days Google removed penalty then its fine just follow instruction and everything would be fine
As your site is new Google will do it for sometime and then your site will be back showing in Search Engines soon.
ok, it's getting weirder. I've got an adwords campaign on the site and it is not getting any impressions on words that I know people are searching for. Am I being penalized? how can I tell?
Google may temporarily or permanently remove sites from its index and search results if it believes it is obligated to do so by law, if the sites do not meet Google's quality guidelines, or for other reasons, such as if the sites detract from users' ability to locate relevant information.
I had the same issue with few of my websites. And in all times my homepages returned back - so do not worry. Just keep working!
The best advise is to get high ranked backlinks from relative sites to your new site, now that the grace period is over the real work on ranking begins. Getting as many social bookmarks also will help. Good luck! -DarkMimbi
Do this. Type your domain directly into google, does your site come up? If not your are being penalised and sandboxes for something maybe duplicate content? And I read all of this thread before commenting and I understood exactly what you was saying first time I guess people like to post for the sake if just posting
New content is what it is.. If the niche was totally different from the previous one, Google might think it as a new site.
Ziggy, I have the same situation after I changed CMS (switched to Joomla). All targeted url's are unchanged. But structure of pages and design are new. After that, my site safely left G-top and said GoodBye. I've send a request for reconsideration in Google Webmaster Tools, where I explained all of this and now I'm waiting for results... If you didn't change the niche of your site, I think you have to write in GWT for reconsideration and dont waste money for buying high priced links and your time. Let Google's Support think about this problem. Achieve justice - that is their job.
