Hello all. I think I've punished by Google. I'm new new webmaster. I've published my firs site 3 months ago and it's an e-commerse site based on OpenCart. I made too many stupid things when preparing it. 1 - About 10-15 keywords for each product. (Later, removed all of them) 2 - Copy/paste meta descriptions, only difference is product names. For example: Product 1, xxx, yyy for zzz. Product 2, xxx, yyy for zzz. 3 - Copy/paste product descriptions. I'm selling similar products and I only wrote common features of them. Every product has similar description, some details would be different. 4 - Used non-optimized images and slowed down the load time. (Fixed) 5 - At the first time used foolish seo urls like (product_name), later realized my fault and made them more detailed and used "-" like (product-name-x-y-z). I got 404 errors for a long time but removed old links from Google's search result and cache with Webmaster Tools. 6 - I've used many products at homepage. For example: Specials - 36 products etc. Later reduced it. Since February 16, hits falling and falling. And I'm falled at too many keywords. When I search for my domain name, my site appears at third queue. First one my facebook page, second twitter page. My site was always 1st when search it. So, should I get a new domain and turn over a new leaf? Or fixing meta descriptions, adding unique content for each product would help me? I was getting 4-5 orders per day but now 2 in a week lol. Please I need your advises. I'm still newbie at managing web pages.
Thats Google fault. For some reason that is hard to explain, because their are inteligent people, they tend to do that lately. They do no look for the source, the give first places in search results to big sites like youtube, facebook, etc. I search for one domain of mine and first appears some forums with discussion about that. That is a very bad idea from Google. If people search for a product they want the product page, not big sites that mention once, casually, that product name. Google is making big mistakes in my opinion.
Thanks but my site was always 1st until new Google update. After this update I lost hits and many keywords aren't in first 500 search results anymore. I've 2.1k optimized, high quality images on my site. Google is indexing me very well but I'm falling day by day. Also, site isn't rising on Alexa anymore. I think Google find my site worthless because of poor content or I dunno what's happening.. I'm just wondering adding unique contents and fixing meta tag desriptions make me rise again? 20-30 hits per day is very pathetic. Average hits were about 150 about 1.5 months ago. It's really important. I don't want to lose time anymore. Solution is new domain?
Sorry I couldn't understand what do you mean with deoptimize. I'm just wonderin if I fix my faults above, everything will be better? Because I'm working alone and doing all the things myself about my site (Managing, marketing, customer support, supplying etc.). If there is no hope I don't want to lose time anymore. Thanks.
