I recently changed the colors of my internal links. Like one section has blue links, another has orange, and another has green. This seems to have completely wiped that site off of google. I used to rank first for the keywords. But now, I cant even find my website if I type in the domain name. Any ideas? I really just did this for the appeal of my site. I dont see why google would care, if they do.
It sounds very strange that color is doing this. Its really not likely at all. There must be something else.
Yeah thats very true, doubt it has anything to do with the color. But if i had to suggest stick with Blue only.
hmm, thx! well ill just wait and see if im listed again, my site was fluctuating off and on the first page, but it was never completely wiped off. And thanks for the suggestion for the links but I think the different colors fit nicely into my site. Check it out: Chimp Media
the only way this could affect your SERPs is if you're changing the color by adding tags within th <a></a> tags. if you're changing it with CSS, there's no reason whatsoever for it to change
This could be why, you're using <font class="writinglink"> within the <a> just use CSS to change the colors, on the <a> tag itself Don't use fonts
well I am placing the class in the <a> tags like <a href=file.php class=writing>, if thats what you mean. Otherwise, maybe its something else about my site. Edit: Oh, thanks frankcow, Ill try it out and see.
