Hi there Guy's I really need your help on this one so here goes, I have a gadgets blog (Giz4Geeks.com) which has been floating between page 4/6 in Google for the term ''Gadgets Blog''. It has been around this position for about 3/4 weeks but today I was doing my regular checks on my site and couldn't find the site anywhere on Google's pages!!!! The only changes that have been done in the last few day are the following, Posts - which are all on the home page, there aint any more on other pages that are new. HTML - This is the thing that i think might have done it, i was spidering my site as I'm SEO'ing it and notice that there wasn't any meta description or keywords for the site so i thought OMG if its done this well with out them ill will do great with this information so here is the HTML that i added to the Header.php file, <meta name="description" content="Here at Giz4Geeks you will find the most upto date Technology, Gadgets & Gizmos. With News, Views & Reviews this is the website for you" /> <meta name="keywords" content="Gadgets, Gadgets Blog, Technology, Technology Blog, Gadget Reviews, Latest Gadgets, Gadgets New, Gadgets Previews"> I thought that this was all fine and would help the site but maybe its not, Are the keywords too spammy? Is the HTML wrong? Or is Google just updating this new information and it will sort itself out? I haven't Deleted this HTML yet as i don't want to panic and ruin things without a few of you guys thoughts......I would REALLY appreciate it. Many Thanks Guys Darran
hi there 3DProf4online thanks for the reply, Errrrrrrrm no not really to be honest i have stopped submitting lately as i have been rather busy with other stuff
I would advise you to wait, according to whois data your domain was created on 2008-07-23! Such situation usually happens with young websites. If you don't break any Google regulations, everithing is ok! Young websites often jupm up and down especially after intensive website submission is done!
Many Thanks for your help and i will follow your advice, do you think thou it could have been the adding of the HTML?
to be on the safe side try to rewrite <meta name="keywords" content="Gadgets, Gadgets Blog, Technology, Technology Blog, Gadget Reviews, Latest Gadgets, Gadgets New, Gadgets Previews"> Gadgets and Technology words are repeated several times! It is not correct, each it is recommended not to repeat each word more than two times! Gadgets is included 4 times here! It might be the reason too!
Changing the meta tag will make your site drop but don't worry it will come soon just try to make more backlink to your site.
Yes, I agree with adddirectoryp, just try to calm down and continue to add incoming links to your website. Also, include key phrases into link text, which exist at a webpage!
If everything is ok, your website will come back to its previous Google positions within 3-5 weeks! Hope they will be even better!
Meta tags carry barely any weight so I dont think there is any issue there. A new site is the only reason its jumping up and down I assume. Just keep up the SEO and give it some time.
Have a read of this interview with the creator of wordpress: http://www.seobook.com/interview-matt-mullenweg-wordpress-and-automattic-fame In it he says this: That might be the issue with your blog. But I also agree with what the other people are saying, new blogs can get high rankings early on, but fade away after a month or so.
thanks guys i will calm down, wot do you think to this for the Meta Keywords Current <meta name="keywords" content="Gadgets, Gadgets Blog, Technology, Technology Blog, Gadget Reviews, Latest Gadgets, Gadgets New, Gadgets Previews"> New Reviewed <meta name="keywords" content="Gadgets Blog, Gadgets, Technology, Technology Blog"> Really Guys Thanks For All Your Help
I think there are many Gadgets repeated here - 5 times! I think 2 repeats are enough! I wouldn't recommend you to overuse this keyword! Google can consider this as spam! It is solely my point of view! I advise you to rewrite it!
Thanks 3DProf4online, So is it common for new sites/blogs to get really quite high up in Google first off the drop down to a really low position? many thanks
