Hi, Perhaps someone at Digital Point can help me. I've been running Google Adsense on my website for a number of months. I've done very well, but in the middle of May Google seems to have manually suppressed my site. I'm only receiving visitors from MSN at this point. One of my keyword phrases was in the top 10 on page one of their results. I was getting around 1,000 visitors a day and each visitor was clicking on around 6 pages. All of a sudden overnight I lost almost all of my daily earnings. I only am receiving a few visitors a day now. My keyword phrase is nowhere to be found now -- not at least on the top 100 results. I might add that I have almost 7,000 links to this site -- mostly from articles that are on people's websites. At first when I noticed this drop, my earnings fluctuated between being very high and then down to almost nothing. It seemed that the Google robot was trying to bring me back again and then I was hit again. I think manually. So now I'm only receiving visitors from MSN -- not Yahoo either -- and I'm wondering what to do. I have been getting some visitors from Google images though. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do? Thanks, Patricia
Did google ban your site? (Greyed-out bar in a google toolbar for the pagerank section) Did you recently make any other major content changes, change the domain, navigation, or redirects from another domain? Given that Google, if found that they manually suppresed (not banned) results would be sued overnight by pretty much everyone, it seems pretty unlikely they decided to randomly give you a boot.... seems like there must be something else going on here.
I wonder if in the 7000 links there are some bad neighbour ones? Google and Yahoo! do not share data, so could it be that a recent change to your site is preventing the spiders fully crawling your site? If you are in the Google index *anywhere*, even position 1,678,324 then you have not been manually excluded. It may be that a shake up in the way results are ranked has not favoured your site. This happens from time to time, and in my experience, more with very competitive and profitable keywords like mortgages, dating and mobile phones. I would imagine that many people here including myself have figured out a way around this problem. - Don't rely on one site Spread your risk with sever sites even if they are about the same subject, but avoid duplication of content. - Find smaller and smaller niches For example instead of Mortgages, try Adverse Credit Mortgages or Adverse Credit Mortages for Self Employed people, or Adverse Credit Mortgages for Self Employed People in London. Keep going! Good luck!
