the traffic referral from Google had drop almost 40% yesterday at one of my sites while the referral from Yahoo gone up. any idea?
I think they did, as a few of my sites saw HUGE increases in traffic this morning... I'm hoping it's a permanent change
The SERPs are changing a lot these days due to the new algorithmic changes they are trying to implement. One of the sites for which I did directory submissions recently also dropped to the second page on Google, although all of those submissions were to free directories which is very strange.
my sites are always going up and down - like last week my main keyword rank went from 2 all the way to 40 - then now its back to 1 - weird lol
then work on getting backlinks with your keywords lol - i get almost 1500 uVs from google each month - not that much tho - and most of them arent even from keywords i rank 1 or 2 in lol
The main impact is the us sites. my other sites with Canadian content is did not change much. anyone has a different experience with your UK or India or other country focus websites?
also other note, while google went down, both the % and real number of referral from Yahoo has gone up.
Looks like Google is riding on a bumpy road. Hope they will take care of themselves and keep us get some sleep.
I've been seeing steady traffic for the past month, but that's across multiple sites with different topics, so it's possible that some are dropping and others are increasing. I try not to spend much time analyzing stats as long as the end product (profit) is steady or increasing.
For the 3 or 4 phrases I follow, the top 10 sites have been swapping places every 2 days or so, for the past month or more. My site has been as high as #2 and as low as #8. I don't know if all of this is intentional or not. I don't know why it would be done intentionally other than to maybe check CTR. On the other hand, I don't really think that this instability is designed in for the long run. My only guess is that as G finds sites selling links, they are going through and recalculating all link value for sites receiving those links, directly and indirectly. So, we maybe seeing almost daily data refreshes based on a smaller number of sites being devalued rather than one huge change that turns SERPs totally upside down. /*tom*/
Their is a lot of updates is going on with Google these days, So we will wait and see how it will goes.
My keywords shoots on Page 1 and stays there for 2-3 hours and again disppears. This happens every now and then. It may be because of an ALGO change.
