Hi there, Recently I changed the position of the text on many pages and after that I noticed that I lost almost 50% traffic from Google. Can anyone tell me please when I suppose to get the traffic on the same pace after I have changed the position of the text on many pages. Any help will be highly appreciated. Best Regards KB
Google doesn't really like major layout/template changes, expecially on older established sites, but the rankings usually recover after a few weeks. Experienced this penomenon several times, although there could be other reasons as well...just wait and see.
Yeah, Google just took a look and went "huh? This can't be right" and slapped you on the wrist (wrongly I might add). However, if you remember that you're in this for the long haul (and not in it to make a quick buck), Google will realize the error in its way and will start ranking your site normally again. (Yes, I wrote this in plain conversational language for a reason - no jargon, save for the use of the word jargon. )
Relax. It's a hiccup, nothing more. Are you really in this for the long haul, or are you chasing after the next SEO "trick" like a lawyer chasing ambulances looking for a quick buck? If it's the former, don't worry about it. You'll be fine.
