This morning i saw that my site olympicbeijing2008games.com is being penalized again. it was ranking ok for its age (its a new site). however it just don't rank for the keywords it used to rank. can somebody help me here? take a look at the offsite factors. it's not online factor problem IMO. Thanks
It is difficult to perceive whether it is penalty or not. I would recommend you to post following :- a) Keyword for which it was ranking on top b) Search engine ( regional / global ) c) Did you make any changes in your website in the past few days ( before seeing a drop on Google) However, I do not necessarily think that your site has receive any sort of penalty. Your website is listed on page 11-15 for "Olympic Games Beijing". It could be possible that other competitor websites are receiving more backlinks which might have pushed your site down to page 11-15.
dont worry nowdays this is common....as you mentioned your site is new this may be one of the reasons---try to get some good links from related sites...
"it was ranking ok for its age (its a new site)." New sites have a New content Boost which help them rank well in google as google love new content. But this high ranking dont last for long, and after few days, you will see a decrease in search results ranking for new sites.
I checked my backlinks... I have 471 backlinks and my site is 16 days old.. this makes average of 33 per day. It should be normal. But still I'm not ranking for the keywords i did. These are the search queries that my site was ranking for the last week: # % Query Position 1 12% 2008 olympics wikipedia 5 2 12% beijing olympics wiki 8 3 11% beijing olympics wikipedia 4 4 11% "www olympic" "games com" 7 5 5% china olympics wiki 7 6 5% beijing 2008 wikipedia 7 7 5% 2008 olympics wiki 8 8 4% sportsworld beijing 6 9 3% beijing olympic games wikipedia 4 10 3% beijing olympics 2008 wikipedia 4 11 3% wikipedia beijing 2008 8 12 3% sportyahoo 3 13 3% olympic games 2008 23 14 3% wikipedia beijing olympics 4 15 3% bejing 2008 wikpedia 5 16 3% olympic 2008 products 5 17 3% 2008 olympic games wikipédia 6 18 3% buy 2008 beijing olympic products 11 19 2% beijing 2008 wiki 8 20 2% beijing olympic clothes 10 Check them out and tell me if you have any ideas what is going on.
Could be the google update everyone here is talking about. Your not the only one who lost his position.
I agree with angilina, it's very difficult to maintain top ranking for a competitive keyword with a new site. Your rankings will become more stable over time.
Serps moves regularly and you keeps on going up and down. For such a new site, any statement can not be made that u got penalized
