Hi; I have non english site . it was a pr 5 site and it has become pr 6 after this page rank update. I have added it to many directories and has many blog reviews for this site. My site was getting 20k visitors before page rank update but now it's getting 1k visitors. i'm confused for this . why? is this sandbox effect or another this? site is www.turkcebilgi.net Thanks for your comments
I think you forgot about improveing the site, always have a look at your competitors. Look at what they do and do the same or something similar. If they get a new backlink from a high pos site, then also try to get a link from that site.
i have forget to say . i will give 3 months signature link to the person who makes the best comment (with the solution) to this problem
did you check if there's any new competitor , who might be doing some extensive SEO himself. heh. anyway, good luck with it. 20k -> 1k, thats a big fall
The solution is : wait. I saw a lot of strange things happening with this update. And a lot of people reported the same thing as you. Google will come back to it's senses soon. I bet my PR on that.
Ok I'll give you a good explanation if you answer one question. Before you started this mass directory submission campaign did you update the content ?? Add at least 10-20 pages ???? That's important. When I get you're answer I will write you back with the reason Deal ? Venetsian
i have submitted my site on many paid and free directories. i allways submit my sites to the directories . this is a continuous process. and i add more pages to my site daily.
Option N:1 that is usually the case when someone gets sudden drops after new google algorithm takes place is derived from their patent application which I recently stumbled on. That's quotes from the patent text And the text also metions that if you don't do major update to the content and get mass amount of links will definately trigger SPAM flag! The new google algo is very smart so don't underestimate it! -- PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS ONLY VALID ID YOU DIDN'T DO GOOD UPDATE AND GOT A LOT OF BACKLINKS -- for more information on the text please visit: The new Google Patent and the new quality guidelines article Cheers, Venetsian p.s. I don't but 100% on that but this is the closes scenario based on what you tolled us. Otherwise if your competition did a lot of seo it might be that or even a combination of both!
@venetsian; Thanks for useful reply . as i wrote on reply 10 it's continuous process (i continue to submit my site to directories nearly 11 months) . as i understand my site my flagged as a spammer. * what do you suggest to remove this bad flagged? * or is it time to wait? if it's time to wait , how much time does my site need? Thanks
When I navigate through your site, its real content is always 4 clicks away from the index page, except those you included on the right box. I think this isn't SEO friendly. Perhaps you should submit your site with different strategy, try to submit or get backlink for each page instead of only your domain name. Or you can change your navigation design by reducing sub menu level so the visitor could reach your real content less than 3 clicks.
Although it has became pr 6 after pr update, you need to continue improving your site especially the content. Content is the king, and it is first to read by the users. Quality and unique content is one important factor to visit your site.
