As many of you know I was excited this week about getting out of the sandbox. I was lloking for the traffic this weekend but when I check my daily position today ... Gone!!! Still in the index but it seems im not in the top 100. I think I have been reinstated into the sandbox. Is this possible Im number 5 or 6 for allinanchor allintext etc... so I should be somewhere up there. This is driving me insane.
since Jan 05. Guess what guys. I'm back. Was like a reverted google listing for my keywords for a while. Weird.
There are 100 examples of this posted here. I checked my stats, for the 100th time today, and they did not match one time. It's silly IMO. If you did your job and it's coming back, STOP! Leave it alone for a month and start another site applying what you learned on the previous site and let things happen. That's my advice. Or get a hobby. Checking the API's 100 times a day is not going to improve business IMO. That's not to say stats should be ignored, but this is a 3 month old site. Unless you threw 5K in promotion at it, you're probably where you are going to be for a few months. Move onto promotion and growth.
How'd you know? I also check the google adsense earnings to see if I earn a dollar. LOL I'm waiting for a php programmer to finish up my next project. I need some more sites this stuff is addicting.
Yes it is, the shotgun approach is woth the effort IMO. How'd I know? Lmao, I may have done the same thing!
What's horribly annoying though, is when you check it one time, and you've got like 9000 pages indexed, or your rank is really good. Then it goes back to the way it was and never returns. My site was indexed by yahoo, took a while, but finally got up to about 1500 pages, and stayed there for a month or two. Then one day, it said 9000. I was like... awesome, finally crawled me. Then it dropped back down to 1500 - 1530 and has stayed there for about a month. Very odd... rank is pretty good on yahoo, I can't complain, but I wish it would index all my pages. MSN seems to drop them from the index too, I peaked at like 19k, now back down to 8k. So strange, i really can't figure out what kind of system they have to handle sites... heh. I think it's more random and less professional than people think.
