The website in question is www.intelligentdental.com, a blog about dental related information by dental professional. **Some Statistic about my site** On average, i get about 60% Keyword Search Traffic and 55% of that is from Google. So as you can see Google Organic Keyword Search traffic drives 55% of my sites traffic. On Saturday, May 22, 2010. I noticed that Google (Organic) dropped to (33 Unique Visitors) 25.98% from (106 Unique Visitors) 54% i got from the previous Saturday (May 15, 2010) On Sun, May 23, 2010, Google (Organic) dropped to (11 Unique Visitors) 8.84% On Mon, May 24, 2010, Google (Organic) dropped to (10 Unique Visitors) 8.40% On Tue, May 25, 2010, Google (Organic) dropped to (17 Unique Visitors) 11.56% On Wed, May 26, 2010, Google (Organic) dropped to (10 Unique Visitors) 6.85% On Thur, May 27, 2010, Google (Organic) dropped to (9 Unique Visitors) 5.92% On Fri, May 28, 2010, Google (Organic) dropped to (6 Unique Visitors) 4.76% On Sat, May 29, 2010, Google (Organic) dropped to (9 Unique Visitors) 8.33% On Sun, May 30, 2010, Google (Organic) dropped to (7 Unique Visitors) 6.09% On Mon, May 31, 2010, Google (Organic) dropped to (6 Unique Visitors) 6.06% When i tried to used the Keyword that was said to have landed on my article via Google (Organic), i can't find my pages in the result either. So it leads me to believe that Google Analytic might be counting some Google Image or other traffic into the Google (Organic). All the while, the other traffic sources are holding at similar levels. I did some searches from outside of US and found my articles are still ranking, at least you can find them in the first or second page, but for searches coming from US you can't even find them in top 1000 results. **Some observed delisted articles** One of the very good example is "White Gums" and the ranking article @ http://www.intelligentdental.com/2009/09/14/causes-of-red-white-or-pigmented-gums/ usually compete for #1 or #2 spot on Google search results but right now i can't even find it in top 1000 results. I even used the Rank Checker Firefox plugin to check for other ranked keywords on google but they are all not listed. I've checked with site:www.intelligentdental.com and my site has not been banned and checking cache:www.intelligentdental.com shows the latest articles that was submitted this morning too. Looking at Webmaster tool, all indexing seem to be up to date EXCEPT for external back links section. The back link section has stopped updating since it lasted crawled http://www.intelligentdental.com/2010/04/28/oral-health-in-relation-to-dental-decay-and-gum-disease/ and the last Back Link last found was on May 10, 2010. I do know that from FAQ it states that neither link: operator nor the Links to your site section in Webmaster Tool will display all the backlinks that Google is aware of to your site. But it is just weird that it hasn't been showing back links to newer articles. **Things i noticed that happened** One of the thing i noticed in the end of April or beginning of May is that Google Webmaster Tool removed all Social Bookmark backlinks for all my articles, Social Bookmark sites like Propeller, Digg, Mixx, Reddit, etc are all wiped clean. Some articles that had 10 social bookmark backlinks had all of them gone, but the good thing is other natural backlinks from non-social bookmark sites still exists. Another thing that i did in May was removing the use of Google FeedBurner, i used to use Google FeedBurner for RSS but then i noticed that all the URL that other sites that embeded my RSS are showing up as googleproxy.com/~www.intelligentdental/.... and that in Webmaster Tool, it says the Feed sitemap is always broken and has URL resolving issues. So i turned off the Feedburner proxy and used the default www.intelligentdental.com/feed/ that's from Wordpress. The immediate effect that showed up on Webmaster Tool for the Feed sitemap is that it only indexed 10 articles, so i up the RSS feed to display 100 items and Webmaster Tool indexed them all. After a few days, one of the site that embed my RSS on their sidebar contacted me to tell me that it is broken on their site so i had to revert it back to 10 articles and it worked fine. What i noticed was in the Webmaster Tool's Link to your site, those articles that were in the top 10 at that time had quite a lot of backlinks from the embed RSS feed. Unfortunately, this does not translate to higher traffic for those articles or even ranked for their keywords as i've checked the traffic source on Analytic and majority are from other referral sites. But now all newer articles are not showing any backlink at all! @_@ **What i've done since** I've requested a Reconsideration Request back in May 25, 2010 when i saw all my articles are wiped from US search results and aren't showing even in top 1000 results. I have not done any code changes, nor have i sold any links. I re-read all the Google Webmaster Guideline, FAQ, etc and am very sure i have not violated any policy. **HELP!!** Needless to say Impression since May 22, 2010 had dropped off a cliff. Can someone on this forum be kind enough give me a helping hand.
It could due algorithm changes. I've noticed too our article section of our site having trouble like delay in indexing. Some articles we have even are not indexed now which they are before. Maybe duplication has something to do with this scenario...
When you have 100uv/day you simply CANNOT talk about delisting/penalty. At this rate, you can easily say that you do not have a website, if you understand what I mean.
The problem is all my articles can't be found on Google US based search now. You can find it from outside of US though. Algorithm change make sense if my articles drop from Position 1 to Position 10 but not NOT FOUND.
@Sphinks: Well basically all my highly ranked (top 5 position) articles on Google US based search disappeared from Top 1000 search result on May 22, 2010. They have been there for the past 6 months and have been competing pretty well with other major sites since it is high quality content written by Dentists. For example the "White Gums" keyword search on Yahoo, you still see me on #2 position, where in Google i was #1 or #2. I would understand what you mean, if my search result drop from #1 to #10 or even #20 over night; but not finding them in top 1000 is another mystery that i am hoping the SEO experts here can shine some light on my situation. The 100 uv/day was purely only for Google Organic Keyword Search, though it's not alot but that doesn't mean the articles is gone from top 1000 search result for those keywords. If you are searching from outside of US, you can still see my pages coming back up; it's just US search results it's non-existence since May 22, 2010.
