Ok I publish frequently to Ezinearticles.com...My site is a Yahoo store and friday they was down for maintenance which caused my site's features such as email not to work and bounce emails....So this is what happened...While Ezinearticles was publishing my new articles they sent approval notices to my email address and then what happened was all of those emails bounced....And since Ezinearticles automates a temporary suspesion to accounts who's emails bounce guess what mine got suspended temporarily til they open back up on Mon... So all 600 of my articles which of course had links pointing to my site are now dormant until they reactivate my account next week....So what do you think will happen to my top ten site....? So far I have not budged a bit in my rankings...But I'd say about 60% of my links are from Ezinearticles.....Major directories such as Yahoo, Business, BOTW, STPT and very few link exchanges, articles that are published on others sites and some one way links...So do you think Google has a filter that if the links are not found that they could figure out something like this might happen and give some leeway for a week or so...Maybe I don't know... Any advice or experiences?
Why a week? I think maybe because Google realizes that some sites that are linking to you may go down for a few days or so for maintenance and then the links that they have linking to you wont be live...Not same situation but similar...My links are down right now and hopefully live again by Mon or Tues at latest....Or is it because of the spiders won't exactly find them every couple of days..? I think I'll be fine as well but your always worried especially when your in a good spot. Any other input would be nice and is welcome.
Was yours the only site down for maintenance, of coarse not, don't worry sh*# happens, it's only 2 day's at the most, and if your site is strong it will handle this
Yea, since it's only a few days! You should be fine. Honestly, if your that worried about it do some blog commenting or answer a few questions on yahoo answer.
Yeah don't worry about it, you will be fine it's just a few days and it's not long period to drop, keep us updated.
Only sites which had the link which are crawled again during the time the links are suspended will have any effect. And since these types of articles usually appear on low PR sites, I would bet only a few of these sites will be recrawled by the time the link goes back up.
Exactly what I was thinking but needed some back up and maybe experiences. The G bot will have to come through and recrawl the links and if the links are not their then their you go....Btw I was tracking the bot and I was about 2 days shy of them coming back through the links...Most of the links I have get recrawled about every 12 or 13 days....Whooooo!
