Yesterday my site was showing up for all it's keywords and today it is no where to be found. I checked to see if my web host went down and it didn't and Google shows no crawling errors. I checked if I lost links and I didn't. I checked to see if my site was still indexed and it is. I'm just not showing up for keywords anymore. I haven't made any changes to my websites content recently so I know its not that, and I have read and re-read Googles guidelines and I am not in violation at all. Any ideas?
Don't worry G is doing a big update... Looks to me to be integhrating about 6 weeks of link data and ( perhaps ) doing a PR update. I don't think it will settle until after the weekend so forget about the ranking and continue on as you woiuld normally. Try and get some nice strong linsk whilst its working and you may well end up far better than before. Good Luck Aphp
Thanks I appreciate it APHPDeveloper. I knew they were going through a big update but seeing my site just get lost spooked me a little.
Just update your site and make some link building I'm sure you will get god position for your targeted keyword
If you post the site in question that you are having issues with, I'm sure that someone around here would probably spot if there anything obviously wrong that was tripping a filter.
Welcome to link building, it happens to everyone. You need ultra solid links to make your position in the serps solid.
During an update like i am seeing strong links or not are unlikely to make a difference in my market its like a blender at the moment lol Dont worry 'Carry on regardless' Aphp
same here i have 50 websites with me and i see real dance from last 3 days....adsense income also got half....but i confirm that something is going on at google end.....hope all will be back soon as my income 50% down now a days...
The point could be like that whenever you are not doing anything strange or some rush methods like adding too many links overnight and have been continuing running your site normally, if you notice some temporary and sudden drops in rankings on Google and Yahoo, by waiting for a couple of days, everything could be returning to the normal status again and we have all seen many fluctuations in search engines rankings all the time.
I am really tired of all this mess. I feel your pain. One of my old, trusted, relevant (and high ranking) sites (that escaped the hammered i suffered late October 2008) went down the toilet yesterday. From first page to page XXX... For christ sake, remove from serp's those fuckers that steal my content, rip wikipedia, and open those fucking eyes, Google engineer morons! Just tired of those incompetents. It looks someone from Google portugal is just placing friends sites up there (dup content OR no-content sites) and removing old + trusted sites that follow every guideline and are heavily updated. I'm gathering info on this and i will prove my point, hopefully.
