I am really obsessed to say that my ranking have been badly affected in the last couple of days. And by "bad" I mean that I have stopped ranking in the first 10 pages of SERPs for my own site name. The site in question here is http://www.gamelet.net I used to ranking No.2 for "Gamelet" and No.1 for a really competitive keyword. As I was going through the traffic stats, I saw that The Google traffic had dropped to zero and I knew something was not right. When I checked where I rank in Google, I was obsessed. I don't think I have violated any of the Webmaster Guideline. Can any one here guide me? *PS: I had posted this thread earlier in SEO, but I thought this section much more related.
your site is 2 months old.you have to earn a right to rank. you jump up in rankings because it is a new page. work on your backlinks.
Never get mad when this happens.. check the activities of your competitors and find ways to beat them..
I would just check backlinks to your site for thse keywords and then do the same for your competitors and then work out how you can improve that along side to SEO on your site for those keywords.
I Optimise for my web design and SEO company and this always happens to new websites. Onsite Optimisation together with getting quality backlinks will help, but also linking to other sites will help as you are being 'fair'. Concentrate on what your competitors are doing and get the 'nofollow' quality links.
work more on your back links than your compititors. make more and more quality links, not spammy links
Initially I thought your site was sandboxed but since you mentioned that the traffic had dropped to zero, then it is something to be alarmed of. I can't think of any reason other than engaging in blackhat methods or something to do with paid links.
google always put a new site in high ranking at the begining and then drop them later. you just need to build more back links and wait, your site will come back.
you only have two pages indexed in google - why are you blocking your categories folder? http://www.gamelet.net/robots.txt
I generally go so far as to warn clients that this is a possibility when we start working on a new site so they don't think we're screwing up when the site drops after popping up to the first page for a bit right off the bat. More content and links. Of course, that can be said about virtually every site that isn't #1 for every phrase related to their products/services.
Life is up and down, keep working on the content of your site and build more link, you will be there again. Good luck
lol yea. My sites constantly jump around in the top 10 of the serp. Nothing to worry about really. Maybe write another article or something.
I think it is very possible you have been sandboxed, too. Have you purchased a large number of links maybe? /*tom*/
