My website's traffic from Google went down by 50%

I'm not even sure it's a sandbox issue to be honest. It looks like alot of your pages are duplicates of other pages, and while that's not usually an issue, it could be in this case. There definitely seems be be a problem with that page in that SERP, and it doesn't look like something that naturally happened.

I don't know what makes you think that. Your page title is the single most important on page factor when google determines where your page ranks. If you change the title without changing the page, it can lead to wildly unpredictable results for several weeks, as Google experiments with where it should fit after the change.

 

selectsplat, thanks for your involvement.

I don't know what "sandboxed" is stands for, what is the meaning of it. I will really appreciate if you can explain it.

With regards to page title, yes you totally right - this is most important factor for google to decide the page relevancy. I've made the change hoping it will increase traffic, but at the end end up it's drop (if that the reason).
If it will take several weeks to recover, I'm OK with that, but it is Google - you never know what really happens, just guess based on experience.
I know I have duplicate (or almost) content. People pacing ads, changing a bit wordings and here we go. And sometimes there is good reason for that. If you have item that is applicable for multiple locations, people advertising that item in these cities. I doesn't want to be strict and limit people to much. I want my website grow.

Any suggestion for steps I should take to recover my website as much as possible? As for now, I started to run AdWords to keep this website life.

 

There's a forum here dedicated to discussion regarding Google sandbox.

The symptoms you're displaying are very similar, but I'm not yet convinced that this is your issue. Worth a look in any event.

 

Duplicate content penalty, maybe?

 

I don't have duplicate content in purpose.

 

Maybe because it's not updated regularly?

 

short update. my traffic recovered in mid of December and rocks.

 

what the SEo techs u have done in past

 

What happened? I mean, did you do something, noticed where the problem is and fixed it, or your traffic suddenly raised like it dropped without your knowledge why?

 

I changed title structure in all pages and probably that was the main reason to this drop, no other explanation I can think of. Also some hints I received from google forum about my mobile version of site. May be Google saw it as duplicate content. I changed in robots to allow only google mobile crawl to access mobile version of my website. At the same time I ran adwords campaigns to keep sites alive. A month later my websites started to recover. And now my traffic 50% more compared to what it was before the drop! I also added social networking. Any new content automatically published on twitter (trying to take advantage of Google caffeine).

 

Glad to hear that, keep up the good work!
