    Didier, if you won't mind. Can you please PM me and let me know what you were doing in the past 12 months with your sites that haven't come up in the SERP's?

    I like to work this Google changes quite a bit in mind. I have all my keyphrases and keywords back to normal within 2 days from posting here.

    Anyone interested in sending me a private message regarding there drops, I will trully appreciate that.I will give you guys some pointers with what I know regarding it. Not a guru, but am actually doing ok.

    Will love to see those PM's.

    Unti lthen,
    Joaquin

    Drop in traffic (40%)
    Increase in clicks (20%)
    Increase in adsense income (30%)

    Upset with the drop in traffic, but happy with clicks and adsense.

    Joaquin,
    both sites are only 2 months old and were ranking very good until the third week of july (when most of the PR buzz started), then they dissappeared to page 12 - 15.

    Today is day 8 and it's still the same. I've seen a copple of page-jumps but nothing spectecular and i'm still not back on track.

    I know it's not my fault because I didn't do anything wrong and didn't lose backlinks, etc.

    So the only explanation I can think of is that it's caused because of the Google mess these last few weeks.

    So i'm still waiting but it's nice to hear that i'm not the only one who had these sudden ranking drops :)

    I also noticed that Google isn't deeplinking new sites anymore since the last 3 weeks.
    Usually it takes me 3 days to receive the first few visitors from G, now after 3 weeks i'm only receiving the amount of traffic that I should be getting on day 4-5 :eek:

    Google is a big mess these last few weeks and I hope this sh*t will be over very soon!

    Oh and it stresses me that i'm one of few people who's complaining about this issue...

    Same here, it happened last month as well, but when it came back I got more traffic than I could cope with so I'm kinda enjoying the lull (if it IS temporary this time!) enough to give ya a nervous breakdown isn't it ? :D

    Yeah, it sure is.
    How long was your site "out"?

    same kind of problem here since wednesday on some of my sites

    site 1: my #1 position was moved to page 10 or 11 for my most important key...traffic down to 15%

    this also happend about 2 weeks ago and site came back after 7 or 8 days.
    now the same shit again.

    site 2: second most important key was moved from position #11 to page 6 or 7.

    as we remember the same kind of probs happend during the last PR update.
    I guess google is having major problems again, and those probs seem to get worse with every new update.

    My Google traffic is at record high levels this past week. I only mention that in this thread to suggest that the traffic drop some are seeing is not a Google system-wide thing.

    The google algo is constantly changing. There are going to be winners and losers. There are only 10 positions on the first page to go around.

    The strong will survive and the weak perish. The strong are sites that gain trust and authority. The strong vary their link profile. The strong add new content. The strong build traffic.

    The weak wait for their rankings to return. The weak are reactive not proactive. The weak do not evolve with the web.

    Here are a few quotes concerning algo changes from the Matt Cutts bog entry http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/five-things-you-didnt-know-about-googles-search/
    - “the search-quality team makes about a half-dozen major and minor changes a week to the vast nest of mathematical formulas that power the search engine.”
    - "Some people think that Google changes a few things every few months. At least in search quality, it’s more like a few things every week."
    - "Google makes a go/no-go decision on several different quality changes each week."

    My sites are all in niche fields. So the max. amount of competitors I have is like 3-5 per niche.
    So there is still plenty of space on page 1.

    In other words, there aren't really "strong" and "weak" sites in my playfield :)

    Here's an article you might be interested in What makes a searchterm competitive?

    Notice the example about the searchterm [rotating choking sleeve]

    Pages that have "juice" will rank for terms that they have no relevance to and will push the niche sites down.

    Hello,

    Yes, one of my sites dropped today, but there is a funny thing: all the month happen the same.

    Firsts days of the month the site is in Google, then after around 4 to 6 days drop again. Anyone know what is happening ? :)

    Best,
    Jakomo
