Hey guys my url is www.livefreewithgbg.com I registered the site over a year ago, but only stared to build links a few months ago. I never did link exchanges, stuffing, or any BS. I got all my links through blog commenting, article submissions, directories, and forum sigs. Over 24 hours ago I noticed my homepage was not indexed, but yet my 2 other pages from that domain are. I tried site:livefreewithgbg.com and site:www.livefreewithgbg.com. I know my page is not banned, but this doesnt make any sense. I was ranked in the top 10 for competitive keywords (6 million and 12 million) now Im not. What in the world happened? The only "questionable" thing I participated in was that I joined trafficswarm.com this past weekend. Has this happened before to anyone?
The real question is When did you put up the home page for the first time? It has been indexed on 7 Sep 2008 04:58:59 GMT by Google. Also where are the other pages? And to use trafficswarm? Why?
It was indexed in google around the same time I registered it which was around september 2007. I figured that a full year after it was first indexed, and I started getting top ten rankings meant that I wouldnt have to worry about the sandbox. I just checked site:livefreewithgbg.com again and the index is back but all of my rankings are nowhere to be found. I know trafficswarm and other traffic exchanges are crap but I wanted to test something out. I analyzed the person who was number 1 for a keyword that I wanted. Both our domain ages we the same, keyword density were about the same (mine a smidge more), I was getting higher PR sites linking back to me etc, but I wanted to see what variable was cauing him to have an advantage over me. I noticed that he had ALOT more traffic, so I thought if I could "stimulate" my traffic somehow see if my rankings would go up. But as I said before I just started TrafficSwarm and I think I only got about 18 hits from them anyway.
For trafficswarm do you have to put their code on your page? If so, it is very likely that is the cause of the loss of rankings. Unfortunately your website is in a fairly shady industry that has many spam websites. I think the search engines may be more strict in any problem niche.
just do some link building and social bookmarking and social networking for your site. and add some fresh content, it will be indexed.
No I did not put their code on my site, thats probably why i only received 18 hits from them. I have my blog which is attached to this domain which I have uploaded original articles I personally wrote and is updated several times a week. So the domain is not static at all. seojig: I am back in the index but my rankings are ghost...nowhere to bee seen.
