    I keep saying this across the forums, but no one seems to be paying much attention to me. So, maybe here... For those of you with their sites dropping like a rock, please check your results using the site:www.yourdomain.com command. Do you see what you expected to see? Are your pages gone?

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for you leeds1, that your loss of index pages doesn't affect your rankings. For those of you who have had their rankings affected, does it relate in any way to what you see with the site: command? So far, every one I've tested (mine and others) does relate - but I don't have a big enough sample to know for sure.

    jontelofot, your traffic and revenue went down - but is that directly related to your rankings going down? did they?

    Yes, they did. The keyword tracker shows all red for the 20 keywords I'm tracking. Many of them have been solid top 3 in the serps for 3-4 months, but are now bumped to page 2 or 3...

    The biggest change though is the unoptimized searches. The traffic I'm recieving from google that do NOT have my optimized keywords in the search has gone down from around 2000 hits/day the last two months to <100 today...

    Ok, thanks for the info jf. From the feedback I've received so far, it is split at about 50/50 so far. about half of those that dropped also show no results in site: command. half that dropped show no problems with site: command. so obviously, there is more than one thing at play here. i appreciate the feedback.

    We had a big site get pounded (lost 90% of its pages) a couple of weeks ago. Took place over about 2 weeks. Went from 30k on average to almost 60k and then down to 1,400 last week. We have slowing been gaining pages back in the G cache. Gbot activity stopped for a couple of days and I thought she might be dead at that point. Traffic from G was gone for 2-3 days as well. Then traffic slowly started to come back as did gbot and pages in the index. Today Gbot has been very active on that site.

    So, I am hoping that maybe G just wanted to "reset" that site or something.

    This recent shakeup has reminded me that, one should never count solely on search engine traffic.

    For me, I need to get back to beating the pavement and acquiring more referral sources.

    Happy Holidays!

    dazzlindonna,

    My SERPS are destroyed today, but my site:www.domain.com command is still showing my full results of 2850 pages - same as last few months.

    However, I've been watching two VERY competitive keywords for allinanchor as a part of my Ad Network roll-out, and I've seen dramatic changes there today. Here's what I've seen over the past several days:

    Date KW1 KW2

    12/13 #180 #65
    12/14 #140 #55
    12/15 #100 #35
    12/16 #80 #25
    12/17 #340 #135

    Looks like an algo impact for backlinks and/or anchor text. I hope it's temporary. I'm just short of panic here after seeing such great results from the Ad Network and having such high hopes!

    When I do the site:www.mydomain.com what should I be seeing? My index page isn't show up first... is that what I should be looking for? What does that mean?

    Sorry thebassman, should have been more specific. site: command does indeed show what pages google has indexed, as dyn4mik3 says, and I was wanting to see if anyone had seen the number of indexed pages reduced in great numbers, or gone altogether.

    site:www.mydomain.com won't tell you much unless you were monitoring it earlier. It's rare that Google will have all your pages indexed - especially if you're continually adding pages with a forum. If you saw your numbers take a dive, that'd be cause for concern unrelated to a drop in SERPs.

    I should have added... I don't have 3800 pages. I really have about 900. Why they are showing 3800 I have no idea.

    hmmmm something screwy going on now.... a site: command pulls my front page, and a fair number of the rest of the pages in the forum, but their title and descriptions are now blank (they weren't before).... hope they are in the middle of re-populating fields or something.

    Simple question - what is the PR of those sites who are dropping?

    Pr4 and PR5 sites are increasing, but one PR4 site that isn't worked on as much is dropping in some areas, none were top spots to start with on that site.

    Hiya Donna, site command showing what it should for me. No changes at all in SERPS or traffic (or number of backlinks in the last update for most of my sites).

    Other info for reference...
    PR6.
    I'm in the UK.
