About 6 weeks ago my site took a huge traffic hit. I thought that I would ride it out, but the traffix is not coming back. My site has gone from 4000 uv / day to less than 1000. I need some help here. Any suggestions? My site is in my sig. Thanks in Advance.
Can you guys give links, maybe I could help, is your site updated daily, etc, small factors determine whether a member or visitor will come back or not.
Google changed their code and terms nowaday , now reading their API . what exactly the changed , there are many sites loosing their traffic .
It would be great if google provided some way to look up penalties to websites. I'm not even sure that I am being penalized. I added this page a few years back and used to get tons of traffic http://www.wallpapervillage.com/female_celebrities.php Every celeb amd model gets an url that looks like this http://www.wallpapervillage.com/topic.php/Megan_Fox_wallpapers Alot of these have PR! I am just baffled. Any help would be appreciated. I do not do Black Hat or anything like that.
Yep, Traffic is 1/4 of what it used to be. If you see anything wrong or have any suggestions. please let me know.
I would suggest you get a few thousand backlinks from unique content if you haven't tried it already. I have a few clients that tried it out and saw amazing results. You can also try the article submission thing, but I've heard from some that it isn't as effective as the unique article submission services I hold. Your competitors probably just got a few more backlinks than you, nothing to worry about.
I hope i'm not offending you. Almost all wallpapers added few years ago. Why not adding more wallpapers into Movies category? Example wallpapers of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor? Btw, your site is good in term of seo. Good luck.
My link is on my signature. I had a problem how I was uploading my pictures and corrected that but that did not help. I started this blog in March 1st and was gaining organic visitors and doing pretty well up until May and upgraded Wordpress and as soon as that happened I started losing organic visitors. I was getting 85 organics daily and now im averaging around 25 a day. Im trying to be patient. I agree I wish there was a site I can go to and tell me what I am doing wrong.
OK, Thanks for making me remember. Somebody hacked my site using sql injection about two months ago and added redirect code sending all my traffic to their site. They hacked me three times. I finally figured out how. It was after this that the traffic dropped. Good ideal about the movie wallpapers. Thanks and no offense taken!
I'm assuming you're using MySQL and PHP. Just use the mysql_real_escape_string() function to prevent sql injections. Simple enough! Google probably deindexed you for changing your layout (or the hacker changing your layout), this happens even on reputed websites (i've had run-ins with this rule too). It usually took me 3-4 months after I did a big makeover to regain lost statistics.
So there is still hope? I can wait another couple of months I guess. Anything I can do the speed up the process? About mysql_real_escape_string, do I only need that on my login screens? I stopped the hackers by removing some user submission functionality from my site.
That function should be put on ANY variable being interacted with on your database level. Read more on sql injections here As for hope, yes there is. Just get someone who can provide you with an SEO service to speed things along. (PM me if you don't find one, I run a good one)
is your site down - i cant even connect to your homepage. The server at www.wallpapervillage.com is taking too long to respond.
same thing happened to me in just one day for example i was getting 1000 visit per day from google and the next day the range dropped to 150!!!! the number of page indexed still the same
