DP members, please share your knowledge. On my site there was DB problem for the past 2 weeks, and it is now restored. Unfortunately I didn't notice it earlier, and it now affects the massive pages not showing linked in other sites. The # of indexed pages are only showing half of original....Therefore, daily visitors are around 1/5 of regular numbers. Question-. Will the traffic be recovered back to previous status? What would be the best way to recover this problem ASAP? Has anyone experienced this similiar situation before? Thanks in advance.
Yes Google hates it when a site or a page is down. You will likely get your rankings back eventually, but it may take some time. To speed things up you should try to get some more quality back links. If possible, also get some back links to your more important internal pages that are not currently indexed. You could also try submitting a sitemap to Google.
