Hi all! After the much analysis by SEO experts, we took their advice for IP change. But that plan seems to have backfired. We changed the IP and after that, rankings have dropped. Infact the site seems to have gone from Google. After IP change, we entered a re-inclusion request to google, but this also has not helped me. I see no cache of the site from new IP. When i check from www.domain.com, i do see the cache. Any Suggestions? Thanks, eMarketing
Answer to your question : No I would advise to get more and more quality inbound links to make your site worhty in eyes of Google.
I have more than 1000 links, they are from PR 5 or more. My site was appearing in top 100 results. But IP change has caused the rankings to fall bottom low.
It doesn't really matter how many backlinks do you have if they are not related to your contents. Go with quality of backlinks not quanity of backlinks.
Hello, Matt cutts has referred to the ip change issue. To sum it up, it doesn't make any difference, unless you change the country to a non relevant one. Also, I'd check whether the ISP has mistakenly blocked the access of spiders!! I'd also update the site, and see if G finds me on my new location. Cheers
After the IP change, my site has been crawled once. The cache is updated too, but site is still not appearing in SERP. Also, how important is the Site Updation in relevance to IP change?
Does your sitemaps page still read; "No pages from your site are currently included in Google's index due to violations of the webmaster guidelines. Please review our webmaster guidelines and modify your site so that it meets those guidelines. Once your site meets our guidelines, you can request reinclusion and we'll evaluate your site. [?]"
I do have collection of theme based good quality links. Still facing the issue of sudden change by Mr. G.
The status shows that your sitemap is perfectly fine. There are no errors. It was crawled after the IP change also
If thats the case, then as far as i know, there was no update from google recently. Yet y is there such big change in the rankings? Also please tell if there is some time gap after re-inclusion for site to re-appear?
No, absoluty not.. but if you get your website off-serps because of spamming... then ... you will have some kind of penalities for 3-6-12 months
Again, you should check with your ISP, maybe they mistakenly block spiders. Try to check their homepage. Also, is there ANY chance you've changed your robots.txt file?
