Hello Dear DP members I have a website that had 800 pages indexed, then leaped to 38800 then dropped to 21000. What would cause a website to lose the number of pages indexed in Google, considering that the number of pages within that website are exactly the same... Any ideas??? Thank you
Algorithm tweaks on Googles end.... or maybe you lost some backlinks. It's kind of the natural of the game with large websites. Also... did you do anything with site structure?
thank you for your input and reply. I have not implimented any modifications to the site itself. i guess its just google doing its thing.. haha thank u
If that does'nt affect your site rankings or PR, then there's no problem. Many sites fluctuate the number of their indexed pages too.
I think Google is just updating your number of backlinks that's why there is a sudden drop of indexed pages.
