hello all, One page of my site which was the most highly ranked page of my site and also recieved high traffic... has disappeared from google and some datacenters are showing the cache of 6th dec 2007. The page is "webtravels.in/horoscope/index.html" One reason which lead to this was that the content of this page was copied by some site and was put on 13 pages of that site... but now that site has removed my content, still this page is not being crawled by google. And because of this the traffic of my site has reduced to minimum..... Is there some other reason for the downfall of my site??? Does the decrease in google ranking of this site affect other network sites??? Please help me..... Regards, Ruchi
You should not worry if anyone has copied your content. He will not get any benefit from it. It is his/her loss not yours. As well as your page ranking problem is concerned if your website is new, let me tell you that google always down ranking of every website for one time and then establish new permanent ranking.
On the same page, I had a keyword that was bringing me in like 3k hits a day, easily, and then it suddenly dropped off the top and I can't seem to rank anywhere close to the first 5 pages - any idea why or how I can get back up there?
Thanks for the reply... but the question is what can i do to come over this problem.. should i change the content of my site.... or should i let it be the same.... and will the downfall of this site affect other network sites... because the traffic to the network sites have also reduced.....
I think it may be well the case of duplicate content.. your site would have been affected instead of the copied one...
please help me out with the action i should take to come over this problem... should i change the content of that page..??
If you are using duplicated contents you should change them. Build some good links for your website through blog commenting, forum posting, directory submission ......etc. I don't think , other sites will be affected because effect is always on domain. Google penalize domain only, I think so. I think you have done something seriously wrong with your websites. I am worried if you haven't build some gambling,sex link for your website. Check back links and always try to build back links with related category of your website. You can PM me url if you want to have a check.
I think google has changed algorithm. with that algorithm backlinks were gone to that page. Check backlinks to that page. And optimized your page related to new google algorithm terms
in some copied case, the site copy content has higher rank and will be claw and index quickly than the original site. and... shit happens. always
can i do something to save my site?? should i change the content and upload it... will the site be back to its positions???
I don't think you should worry about the content now much more, as he had removed the content from his website. Still you can have some changes in content, that's advisable. But now, try to make maximum BL's for that particular page which is not getting crawled by Google. Best of luck.
In the case of duplicate content, get more links to your page and Google will see it as the authority source and your rankings will return.
