My rankings for the keywords I was doing well with have been good for about 5 months, all on firts page and doing fine and now today I check and they have all gone down to page 5 or beyond, I cant post url as its an adult site but I was getting about 25k a day from Google but all off a sudden this happens? I havent changed anything and now Im annoyed and worried about it
Care to explain? I know its only been a day and they could come back within a week or so, just bit worried and wanted to vent.
Probably the best strategy is to sit on your hands and do nothing. It's a bit of a gut punch to wake up and find your rankings have plumeted, but often they will pop back up. Jumping in to take immediate action can be a mistake. Wait a bit and see what happens. Best wishes, Ian C
Yeah I am having the same problems with a number of search terms for one site, but the drop is so dramatic that is must be a temporary change..... I am just hoping that it is very temporary
Its just google adjusting, just relax it will come back, this happened to a few of my sites. Just got to wait out the storm.
yeah wait and see new algo of google. make sure during this time you didnt change anything to your site orelse if they change back to old algo your rank will drop more than now. just sit back and wait.
Okay, thanks, I just also noticed even my index isnt listed when I search for the site name, hope this is temporary.
If you lost all your traffic so you need to worry about it, but if you have just lost few rankings then you are ok
This happened to one of my sites 2 months ago. It completely disappeared from the SERPS for 3 weeks, then it came back like nothing happened.
This also happened to six of my sites a couple of days ago. I went from #1-#5 to page 3, 4, 5 and even to page 40+. I panicked, took a cold shower and made a 52-points list of things to do immediately to restore my #1 rankings. A few hours later, I changed my mind and decided to do nothing. Now I'm just waiting.
I lost all my traffic, all my traffic came from Google, 25k+ a day as I said, even my index page isnt listed.
if you did not loose your backlinks, i think your site will come back. you can also read my experience about keeping your serp position . url is http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=296621
Mines been gone nearly a month now Some search terms gone and some not. I don't know if it's just me but Googles search results seem nowhere near as relevant as they were 2 months ago.
