How I Got Back Top 10 within 3 days After Disappearing from Search Engines

Before you read this article, you may be interested in my previous article:
How to Get on the Top of Google, Yahoo and Bing : I Talk with Experience!


My website Got Top 10 for the keyword “beauties” in Yahoo and Bing within 15 days since setting up. On 29 of Sep my website www.beauties.co was still on Top 3.


Yet I suddenly found my website disappeared in these two search engines on Oct 4th. How Unbelievable ! How Mysterious ! How Shocked I felt!

Is it because that my website is too new? Some people says a new website is unstable in search engine rankings. However, I thought, my website was not going downing but disappeared!

So I took actions! Here were what I did (After these my website got back top 10 on Oct 7th today! ):


1 Analyzed the facts and listed the possible reasons.

I thought of what I did around these days:
a I changed my website’s subtitle to “Beauties’ Philosophies in Photo Stories”.
b I didn’t updated everyday since half a month ago and there was nothing new in the latest 5 days.

Changing a new website’s title might affect ranking for new website might not be trusted very well. No updating also might affect ranking, but couldn’t be the reason to disappear!

However, because of my website’s design, I knew that my website’s homepage changed frequently. I was not sure whether this was the main reason for being killed by search engine.

There was still one thing to be known: my website was not killed in Google.


2 Took measures.

a I updated my website by adding something new, altering some keywords to avoid keyword spam, etc.
b I wrote to Bing Technical Support to let them help me solve my problem.
(Why didn’t I write to Yahoo! ? I thought you could guess the reason.)
c I resubmitted my website to Bing and Yahoo
d I logged in my Yahoo account and related email to see whether there was something wrong or some message.
e I set up a new account and began to use Bing Webmaster Tool, which was similar to Google Webmaster
f I created new sitemaps in xml-sitemaps.com and submit to Bing, Yahoo and Google.

I read the mail seriously and made an conclusion that I had nothing else to do. So I waited.
I found my website got back Top 10 on Oct 7th today:

 

Interesting story really. was very hard to ready due to your interesting verity of words. regardless new websites are not stable at all its a common thing that they will disappear or re appear on search results although . just a little tip - ignore bing and ignore yahoo search engine. actually ignore all of them - only google matters everything else is crap. 87% of the on-line users are using google. so SEOing and working with Yahoo and bing in my opinion is completely redundant.

 

I agree with oferkalfa2002 Google is best for seo and all its other features. so promote your site on Google.

 

Thank yo ufor the report. If that happened to me I wouldn't know what to do at all.

 

Beside the water melon there is an orange, there is no wonder that water melon should be taken but why not both?

 

some people think this is normal.
I don't think so so I share what I did to change rankings~

 

I have had a similar experience. I changed my website title a bit and lost my rankings for 4 weeks, then I sort of got them back again.

 

Yeah.
So we are not supposed to change keyword, title, subtitle frequently.

 

Proper optimization is the key if you commit a mistake it will surely a drop of your rankings but if you got it right or closest to perfect then you will see a boost in rankings

 

Bing delivered very low number of traffic compared to Google. If you want to get the real taste of being first page for "beauties", then try to rank in Google and check your traffic analytics. It will show you the true number of being top 10.

 

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

 

Congratulation! You mentioned some website design change may cause the descend of the rank, was it happened to you before and how did you solve it? It will be really appriciated If you can help me with that coz everytime when I need to re-design the format of the pages, it puzzled me a lot, sometimes the rank or the backlinks completely lost after that so....

 

Changed design, don't change title, keyword, subtitle~~
and Url~~

 

My website dissapeared from google few days ago, it's very new (week +) and I was working on pushing it up (it was on page 19). I am not too expirenced in this and I am continueing backling as usual - 7-10 backlinks a day. Any tips?

 

Great work..
Will try it my URL also..
Thanks for sharing..

 

How do you get 7-10 backlinks everyday? If these backlings are in a good quality, your website will rise quickly~

But I think the first thing before your SEO is to make your website meaningful,special~ you think some people will like your website~
