hello dp's i am having a site, and for 2 keywords the site just got vanished today and its no where now on google. but for some other keywords the ranking has improved a bit and its still showing up in google! what can be the matter ?? EDIT : i also want to add one thing that my ranking for the main keyword vanished on google.com but ,,it has improved a lot on google.co.in, it came from 7th page to 6th position on first page. :s confused a lot!! :S
its because of google panda update. Make sure your site content is 100% original and keyword density is good. Sites having only 2-3 line content are vanishing from google
site is having good content and is 100% original... for some other keywords the ranking is still there..
Google is in a bit of turmoil atm it seems, due to the panda update (why the fuck is it called panda?), terms are bouncing up and down the serps rapidly.
my content is 100% unique, and more over the ranking for other keyword is still there, one keyword is one first page too, but my main keyword disappeared,,,what about that ?
Dude this same happened with me too.. Not to worry it will re rank again. My keyword went missing for 4 days but was ranked again.
This happens when you use tools to get backlinks, so it's best to avoid tools and softwares. You should never do automatic linkbuilding, you should do it with your own hands manually and with white hat techniques.
I'm in the same boat. But my site (completely written by me) tanked a month ago with the farmer update. I'm trying to be positive and realize I just got caught in the net like a lot of innocent webmasters... but it's been almost a month. When is Google gonna love me again?
If you haven't published duplicate content on your website then you have nothing to worry about. Just wait it out and continue updating your website as normal.
thanks to all for your replies, and i am doing manual work,,some automated work was also done, which is profile link building, else all is done manually..another thing i am seeing here is that many of the webmasters are facing the same problem. seems like it might be temporary loss of keyword ranking
Google Panda update, may be the results given by you are not so much satisfiable for Google panda, this is the reason to fall in ranking.
Farmer Update Vs Panda update I hope its just a google dance for you guys, but can anybody pinpoint whether these ranking disappearance is related to panda update or google dance ? how one can confirm this ?
Just a Google farmer update at your site.Once you change your site content with 100% original content and do link building then you will again gain it easily.
Mine also has unique content and it is on the first page of google.com . some time ago it lost the ranking due to hosts change but apprx in 20 days it came back and more the traffic increased too. If you find smth strange then ask google for reconsideration of your site via webmaster tools.
Farmer/Panda is dealing with content and their are over 20 other silent scores you need to be concerned with. Anyone who terms something a 'Google Dance' has no idea what they are talking about and is repeating a term they heard somewhere for position changes. There are definitive reasons your position changes and they cannot all be classified under one umbrella of 'google dance'. remember, most people have no idea what google is doing 99% of the time. If it is just a position change you are still indexed which is good news, but if your site is gone you may have bigger issues.
as said earlier, my content is 100% unique so no issue with content farms and all. And for my main keyword the ranking has just disappeared, but for other keyword its still there , i have not lost my indexing and more over this is the same issue faced by most of the webmasters, my friends itself lost some keyword, their keyword just vanished from results but have some results with other keywords, which is the same issue with me. So i am confused with what happening, if its due to panda ? or something else ?
You've been effected by google panda update. and it looks you got some good backlinks from indian ip's
Search engines are becoming locally aware day by day. Maybe the Search engine just realized that you are more local than global. Also, rather than worrying about just 2 keywords... you need to bet on 100s of keywords... so.. even if rankings go down on some of them... you have many more that are yielding traffic to your website
