www.coolnsmart.com I brought this domain back in june 2006. I haven't updated any page for about 60 now. Used to get around 3500 visitors daily. Site is down in serps for last 50 days. I added 3 adsense 336 units in vertical line under title, to maximize my earnings, my adsense ctr almost tripled of what it was with one 336 block. After 10 days rankings went down. I reduced ads to single unit. After a week site went back up in serps. Being greedy i again added 3 ad units Site went down again, never came back. except for one day, about a month later. I added like 15 pages in site to see if site gains rankings back, but it didn't worked. I tried a lot of things to improve my rankings, nothing seems to work. I have more than 15 domains on one host. Server goes down like once (1-2 hrs) in a week. Relatively slower speed now. Is it because i haven't updated it for a long time ? Or google applied some sort of penalty for lot of adsense ads ? High Bounce rate maybe ? Please help.
1. your site's traffic far too low to expect much success 2. black/dark bg sites never really succeed as bright sites do - hence lower your expectations and be happy or upgrade look of site 3. http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.coolnsmart.com/ and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2&warning=2&uri=http://www.coolnsmart.com/ really fatal errors in basic HTML code and web design !!! fault NEVER is G - you applied powerful self-penalty - now enjoy the results or change what u did if results unpleasant God bless
3500 uniques a day??? You call that traffic too low??? I'd like to see your web stats. I would kill for that much traffic.
I just figured it out, my site is suffering from -950 penalty. I need to change navigation system. Google does not care much about html errors. How much traffic do you get by the way ? 3500 visitors and 10,000 page views a day for is not at all less.
1. it is TOTALLY WRONG when you stage google does not care about html errors you have FATAL errors that make crawilng IMPOSSIBLE to a large extent hence you get low or NO serps simply and only due to your EXTREME errors!! 2. how many i have ... these days - per day 349531 hits 314700 files 49908 page view 12173 unique visitors still working hardest to get it up to some real traffic as such numbers for a one man site is just the beginning! there is much more potential = directly proportional to creative productivity when i had 3000 unique visitors i had no time to think about how much traffic i had i only had time to realize how little traffic i have compared to my real potential to satisfy much more and hence i was nearly day and night fully busy producing more content now that i have more i realize that with another extra few thousand hrs of productivity each year i may get another few thousand visitors per day more each day hence i just finished a 2k$ journey a few weeks ago to create the basis of more content and next week i am booked for another few thousand kms travel to get even more and better content ... having such extreme HTML code errors in the BASIC page structure-code as you do is like talking chinese to a young child in brazil !! take 60 seconds out of your life to have a look at the top 50 lines and you'll see what you do to bots! ablaye your readiness to kill appears low since preventing you from doing what you apparently love to do here my way to allow you to kill ... ERRORS in your code to get your pages alive http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.project4hire.com/ that might bring you as well more traffic instead of killing traffic you should kill your bugs and errors and clean up your code to enjoy greater success in life and love! start with line 1 ( ONE ) that belongs to every HTML page then add charset specs in your meta tags then revalidate again to see if validator is still killed or now ready to find remaining errors
hence i am twice as many yrs in electronics and wireless communications as your entire age bring color into your life and site produce more of ONLY what you love most to do and optimize your adsense with the numbers you mention - fully adsense optimized - you should NOW get about 800-1000 US$ per months adsense and that would be a pretty nice start for a 20 yr young man with all active/productive life just STARTING if you really find something colorful, exciting that you LOVE to do - then doubling your traffic year after year is a reasonnable goal that can be achieved i doubled within the past 8 months
