All of my pages that were ranking on teh first page for my keywords are now no where to be found or are really low ranking now. Almost all of my Google traffic is gone. This happened on May 1st. Does anyone have any idea why? My url is www.wowguideonline.com
Sometimes this happens with new sites and new sub-pages, I do not think you should worry about this, you should give it some time. How old is your site?
Your site ranks #1 for wow guide online, #4 for wow guide, and #6 for wow online. Are you sure the site is penalized? Could you please post or PM the URL of your site?
Maybe just a short Google-Hickup - happened to a friend, too and went back to normal within a couple of days...
It's because of the update that happened. Google is refreshing their index so that no loose ends will be left hanging. For those site that are either abandoned or half heartedly left alone in SEO terms and link building, it really does happen. If you are continually doing offpage SEO and link building, then it could just be because of Google dance or the Google algorithm. SEOs know that matter and you better see it if you don't.
