For this particluar site, it is the 3rd or 4th time within the last two months. On the last 3 ocassions, it was no more tha 3 days at the longest before the rankings returned. Here is hoping again. Do get traffic from other place but, still, google is by far an away the biggest referrer.
i have similar problem for 2 weeks and i did not find a solution yet . i think my problem was related google bomb
You can't just los all your ranking in one moment. if it was a few place or even pages down, it would be understandable but to have all rankings dissapear means there is something else. I hoping they will come back pretty soon like on each ocassion before.
Sorry that didn't make sense to me... What link building methods have you been using? Please post your site in www.mydomain . com format. And I will take a look.
Visio it is always a comfort to see your name and read your advise! I have to ponder if the link building method included reciprical solutions in this case. I have found that going away from recips unless they are of very high quality and of the same niche has a neg effect. Of course that has been my experience in the last updates! I would be nice to hear you comments on this thread.
Your very right. Reciprocating with irrelevant low quality sites can have a negative effect especially if they happen to be playing with fire. Your on the right track if your carefully selecting your recip links from quality related sites. The best kind of reciprocal link is in content. Links pages will still be disvalued over time. Take a look at thisyeah I know I always come back to this ) Seochat.com and Devshed.com - There are a bunch of other sites too but speficicly these two reciprocate if you will yet it is a link at the top of the page instead of a links page link and so has a considerable bit more value. Of course it is hard to find webmasters who will do this and that is why I think they are more valuable.
Thanks Visio this make sence based on my results and a hunch about 6 months ago. I think your responce will shake a few critters outof the lower branches so to speak but thats ok I am comfortable with my result in the last 3-4 months.
I hardly reciprocate. I did a few long time ago and they were pretty good content sites. This has happened before for brief periods (about 3/4 days) on each ocassion before all rankings return as normal. I don't know what happens but it seems much less relevant results get some top rankings.
Good link from reading the comments this is what I came away with. It seems like a temporary algo adjustment .... The real kicker here is there may be some spammy sites what backlinks are they showing?! I do have Aarons book and it has been educational and insightfull. Anyone?
I'm having the same trouble and it is frustrating. One day sales are up the next day nothing. Even worse, all my competitors are still ranking high.
The only theory I can think of is juggle the rusults more often so webmasters feel more compelled to purchase adwords ads to have more consistant results! Anyone? From my experience quality of backlinks will play mojor role in organic results. This does not include recips ...
All my sites reverted back to the PR of about 2 months ago or so. This was surprising considering I sold links for PR 5 sites, that are now PR 6. It will probably work itself out again I am sure.
These days can be really frustrating, especially because it happens for no apparent reason. Its more frustrating knowing some non-relevant results have come to the first opage when you've had your site dissapeared, no matter how briefly it might be.
