What Happened to My Site?

I went from a PR3-0 and lost all of my google search results over a period of three days this week. I didn't change anything and the site is still listed in google.

Any ideas? It's the first site in my signature.

Thanks

 

okay ,maybe I can help you . you must remove wide link now ,and don't add obl any more.
at last ,you should remove all of post which have link in content.

good luck

 

I don't know what that means. What is wide link. What is obl?

 

hi,OBL : outbound link.
wide link: the link live on each page. you had better don't do this.

 

May be it can affected from duplicate content as Google's major update "Panda" affect on world's 70% websites.

 

Sounds like you got penalized by G. Normally you can tell if it's been penalized by the rate at which the traffic falls off. If it's sudden like in a couple days then probably a penalty, if traffic drops off over several weeks then probably not due to a penalty.

The biggest thing that stands out to me is the lack of content. You have plenty of pics but hardly any real content (text).

 

Thanks, I posted on the google help forums and a poster told me I was probably penalized for excessive backlinks. I have a link on a forum I own and when I checked backlinks it was pulling a thousand from the forum like members profile pages etc.

As far as content goes, it has been the same site since 2008 and has been a PR3 with a couple of thousand visitors a day so just to suddenly drop like that is odd. Obviously their new algorithm doesn't like it.

I will also try to limit outlinks but it's a blog, it umpossible to not have outgoing links.

 

I would remove any site wide links like that (footer links). After 2-3 links from a site they become less effective.

Your site content could have been the same since 1996. The thing now is that G is making so many changes and with their new Updates your content can be a problem now. No matter how many years before it may have been just fine.
