First my site was www.juzdwear.com and I used this for 1.5 years and built up to about 60-70 search traffic from Google a day. Then I switched to www.juzdbamboo.com and my traffic went down to about 40 searches. After about 3 months I bought www.juzd.com and about in 2-3 weeks it went all the way down to 8 visits now. What happened? I used 301 redirect and I changed all the incoming links to www.juzd.com. Now I don't get any hits outside of "juzd" and "juzdbamboo" searches. Did Google black list me because of all the switches? How do I get it back to normal? Another thing that might have cause the problem was when I transfer it over for the site I had 3 entries with the www.juzdbamboo.com domain but that have been changed. What is going on here?
You probably just have to be patient and wait for Google to trust your site again. Multiple redirects in a short period of time would look suspicious. Work at getting more links and you should get your rankings and traffic back.
I think you are better off by having one good domain name that targets your main key words. That should be the domain name that is directly linked to your site (not redirected). I believe you are in a good niche. Good luck.
What detail do you need to know? I've been getting a lot of solid links to my site from other reputable sites. Strange thing is when I started juzdbamboo.com (the second site), it took 3 months to get the google ranking back to 3. When I changed it to www.juzd.com, the final site it only took a couple of days. Thanks for eveyone's feedback. I guess I'll just wait it out and continue to build my links. Any idea how long? 3 months? when Google does it's updates?
Don't really know mate as your site have a page rank of (3/10) so that alone indicates that you are not black listed
i switch directory before and did a 301 redirect...got the pagerank...but traffic dipped...took like 6 months to get back the traffic
the PR and search algorithms are based on many things, you could have had sites linking to your old domain names you may not have been aware of, so when changing domains all these incoming links are broken. When it comes to ranking in organic search results; Google certainly favours older sites, and the URL you're using is also a factor, if you post some keywords into a page all about the changes you've made, put in the old urls, and as long as the content remains the same (as in the same topic) you can build up your visitors again, it just won't happen overnight. Plus no doubt you'll get a few hits from here today
Or maybe its just Google tampering with the algorithm. My rankings seem to have massively dropped over the past few weeks. Hopefully it will get back to normal.
Yea for sure. My referring site direct visits have been climbing a lot. My keywords used to be 85% of my visitors now it's the reverse, it's less than 15%. Luckily my non SE traffic is strong.
To check whether you are banned just peform this search "site:www.yoursite.dom" , if no results this means yoursite is banned or has never been indexed, if you see some results (at least one) this means your site is well indexed.
