No wonder im experiencing low traffic for the past few days. See the googlebot activity from my google analytics. i wonder why the sudden breakdown? is it happening to everyone?
Yea, its been happening to my website also. I have seen a big drop in my traffic, and i dont come up for as many google results as i used to. I haven't touched any of my old content. Last time i added content was about 1 week ago.
Googlebot is still visiting my sites and taking more bandwidth in the last 2 days than the average over the last week.
I saw this happen to my blog as well during the exact same time period. More than likely Googlebot was taken down for some reason for a few days. All seems to be back to normal again for me. That last time I saw this happen was years ago when Google made some major changes. During this latest outage, I noticed that my blog changes were updating on a daily basis instead of almost in real time on both Google and Blog Search Google. There are some big changes coming to blogger which might also effect Google as well. Google is talking about bringing most blog post live and searchable within both of their main search engines almost immediately with this new upgrade. While I have no way of knowing if this latest two or three day down time outage by Google has anything to do with that blogger update, it does make sense that the two might be related.
Yes, it's right, i am facing the same problem, I also have another problem which really unbelievable, I got my website ranked on first page in the morning on one of my targeted keyword, and when i checked the same keyword in the evening, it does not show me sometimes in first 10 pages. Google having some problem in the datacenters, but one can inside of it give the actual answer.
oh yes, the SERPs are going on crazy these days. I saw something else that is strange also. I indexed new site with the help of pr2,3,4 and 5 backlinks, but you can see it only with the site:site.com command and you can see the site in the SERPs when querying only "site.com" .... and i'm using technique that is working for me every time i try it but not this time...
you should not have problem submitting sitemap. i have just submitted yesterday and no problem. ok seems like the googlebot has gone for some holiday and already back? im getting back my search engine traffic. maybe some cost cutting measures. shutting down servers. wonder how much will they save.
No its not so its working fine for me it might be due to some error at that moment but its not up for me at least.
The BH forums are abubble with chatter about their RSS scraping splogs and 10,000 page doorway sites suddenly being deindexed.
