hi Before the google's last update my site was getting traffic around 120 a day, now I get zero traffic from google what could be the reason although i hold pr4 ? http://tinyurl.com/5942na site stats: http://tinyurl.com/6yg4ag there is webcam on top and I put different keywords on each variable etc. do you think this is treated me as a spammer?
Hi there! It seems there are a few problems that prevent Google from being very interested to link to you, especially when there is a lot of competition. For example on the page Activities you have placed a shouting like text to get attention "ACTIVITIES IN TURKEY" and then a list with keywords. This isn't a natural title, and it would look really spammy to Google users when the website would be listed like that on their top 10 results. The best way to design a title is to make it as descriptive and natural as possible, and to fit in the Google top 10 for the niche/market you want to be found for. The title shouldn't be used to market your website, it should be used to make the content on your website better findable by people who really want to find it. The content on your website has a sertain value, and there may be users who really want to find it (you know this best ). So you do not need agressive marketing to get their attention, you already have it in general from the Google Search Queries and for best purpose it would be best that the title is so smart and natural that it will enable users to easily detect it in those 10 presented results. There are more reasons why this is important, because Google also monitors the searchers. If you get people that do not really find what they are looking for on your website, Google will know it. Because those users will in most cases click back and check out the following website or continue searching. All of this search behaviour also has a high impact on your results in Google. You really want to attract just the people that really want to find the informatie that they are looking for, so that they will remain as long as possible on your website, or even do not continue their search because they found what they were looking for. Furthermore, you could also use page structure optimisation. You could use it to make it more clear for Google what kind of content can be found where, in the case you are offering multiple not related subjects on your website. A directory could for example hold everything for a specific sub-subject, and if you do this very well it will enable Google to use its website evaluation system to more acuratly determ the value of sertain area's of your website, that will improve their ability to provide users with the information they seek. So it would benefit both you and Google. Hopefully this information will enable you to improve your website further, your website is looking very good (beauty is also important for SEO, people not only want to see the boring websites) and the information looks good aswell so I think it may index well if you have at least the titles more 'user friendly'.
hi SEO Programmer, Thank you for this information it will help enormously. I understand that I should change titles and meta tags for people not for Google... After I read your article above, I want to confess that I did something that may harm my traffic. I was checking referral links almost everyday and I was clicking the link placed at organic search results. I guess google thought that I am sending automated queries. Once again thank you very much I'll follow your advices.
