Hello, I have a site that was well positioned on google until yesterday night for several keywords. Now i got a huge drop on traffic and a lot of the keywords are not well ranked anymore. All the pages are still indexed, so it was not a ban. Anyone had this issue as well? will this be temporary?
Tell us something about your website ... like how old it is ... and did u purchased links from somewhere or you bought some directory submitting package ?? If possible provide with the website URL.
Same with me. I used to get about 20-30 visitors daily from Google. Then 2 days ago, I got 6 visitors, and today, I got 3(only 3 hours left until tomorrow). Something has changed with Google.
my domain is 3 years old and my site has around 4 months. It was getting 1000 uniques per hour most from google but now dropped sharply. I didnt purchase any link or submit to directories All i did was to post in foruns related to the subject of the site and updaded the site with videos that i used to do everyday since i launched it. so i didnt change anything. Maybe it is related to a change on google algoritm.
Well.....earlier in jan it happend with some sites as some sites ranked among top for long dropped their ranking as because of -Google's position 6 penalty read here in detail- http://www.webmasterworld.com/google/3535274-1-10.htm
the same happed with my site. Page one on google SERPS for several high searched keywords. Now my page is nowhere to be found for thoese keywords, but my site is still indexed.
Is it a site youngher then 1 year ..... Google Dancing -> in 2 weeks it should be back as it was ....
The same thing happened to me in January with one of my sites- in 2 weeks it was back up again. now a few days ago it dropped again - probably with the same change that got yours. I can only hope it will come back again. I think Google drops sites and then analyzes if they still get traffic being buried in the ratings and the self corrects because it still pulls viewers. i wrote an article about this phenomena.
The search engine just reorganized rankinngs. Hope your website didn't considered as a spamming one. Many websites lost ranks these days.
Same problem with my site for last two weeks. My site traffic will drop and the keywords was gone in SERP ranking. All I did was continue link building. Submit my site to directory wih PR already, join some forums and guess what, my SERP position is back in #3 in google result.
If you haven't made any major changes to your site or how you operate it, I think it is safe to assume that this is just a temporary glitch. My advice would be to keep your site as it is now - Do not start making any rash changes, and see how it performs over the coming week or so. Alex
yes I have also experience same with one of my sites that is 3 years old and i had my site in top 5 in all major keys but suddenly it disappeared from SERP's and i am not able find what has happened, all my pages are still indexed in google.....
