Hi, I have a blog that used to be very good on some of the keyword listings but now it seems that in those high ranked keywords my website has its rank and it is way under than the previous times. So I start to think that I did bad for Google or something. Is there any way to check it. Also, is it a problem that having many affiliate links(amazon associates) cause a problem like this, as I see this decrease after seeing a good peak on black friday- cyber monday week. Thanks for your valuable answers.
site:domain.com If you show up you not banned, but if you used to be ranked and are now no where to be found, you could be in the sand box. But with 3 of my sites last month they all dropped off google, I didnt understand it but after 2 weeks of 0 traffic its back in the top 5 positions again. Ive heard this happening to others lately also
How come I could be in the sand box? My blog is nearly two years old. Do you think it could be related to aff. links? Has 3 of your sites have aff. link? Also, how did they become normal again, did you do anything special? Thanks!
You can always monitor the SERP of your keyword (s). Sometimes they do drop in Google and you need to do SEO and build more back links. Kind regards, Yogesh
