Hi, My site had good ranking in SERPs for few very competitive keywords. I just moved the site to another hosting and now I can't find my site anywhere in SERP for all keywords . Do you have any experiences with it and how long to be recovered? Thanks.
This happened to me back in January with a site. The site still hasn't recovered as of today. No idea how to fix it at all.
It happened to my friend with Cosmetic Surgery page too. Mainly some hosts have high spammy ips and google doesnt like it. In worst cases it can think the 'new ip' is dupe of old one [if dbs will somehow not connect] and kick it out of index for duplicate. It sometimes reads by ip not by domain.
Well if you were having a dedicated IP in your previous host and now if its a shared IP then it does makes a difference. I have experienced it so try to have a dedicated IP for your website, check with your host
This has just happened to me today. I want to kill myself. My page http://www.freegiftgrab.co.uk/ has just gone from page 1 on 5 keywords to nowhere from pr2 to N/A WTF is going on? Help me please.
I once moved to a new host that caused all my SERPs to fall. It was because there was lot of down time involved. When changing hosts, down time should be minimum. Anyway, I think your site will gain its previous SERPs position in few weeks.
Just same situation with me. But I didn't change my host, they(company where I've hosted my site) changed the server. 5 weeks gone and I am still surviving.
Thanks for your input. I switched my sites from Economic to Delux hosting at Godaddy only. The downtime was minimum, about few hours. Hope my rankings will recover soon.
A few hours downtime would not affect ranking. Maybe it's just a coincidence and there is a Google dance going on.
I suggest you should make a new thread for your case, to avoid hijacking of thread and also more DP members can help about your problem..
Since your using same host only changed the hosting plan, I guess what caused your problem is due to Google Dance that also hits me for several weeks or 16days to be exact. BTW can you tell us your site URL?
I have been like that too,.my site was indexed well and I was switching my hosting so that my old link get "404 page not found"but It was oke until I add wordpress redirection plug in ,all site back to the "real result"
No, this was not their fault. I bought new package then moved site by myself from old one to new. This caused the downtime. To be honest, I don't know the way how to upgrade without downtime.
