I am running a Tech blog since 1 year, I covered 20k Traffic from google. 10 days ago i seeen a black day.. My site was stopped 7-8 hour by a hosting team. (due to high CPU Usage) Now google down all my site rank..Now i m getting 4k-5k traffic only (Still no idea why such problem created) I was earning $1500-$1700 / month from Adsense.. Now i m getting only 400-500/ month Can I continue on it or sell it ? Please give your suggestion.. Because i started such site for long term like a DP forums...
your site ranking would suffer if the site is down for a long term but for 7-8 hours of downtime, you should not get your ranking lowered so quick. even if the ranking went down, there is a very good chance that it will come back. i wold suggest you to hold the site for a while to see what happens.
Google passes great value to reliable sites and downtime can hit the trust. But still if that's not a regular occurrence, it should be fine. Just maintain the uptime and wait for the website to come back to normal.
It very bad luck. Try to use reliable host.Do you use webmaster tools, it can be very helpful for check what's google thinking about your website. (it can report some access issue, site down, dns error)
I think you can wait some days, and try to understand whats going on. You can use google webmaster tools to realize it. You can try to get more traffic by doing regular SEO. Thanks Farabi, Bangladesh.
