I was getting about 30 visitors from google everyday. I changed the Geo target in google webmaster tools to the uk, I stopped getting hits from google so I changed it back, its been 4 days and I still havent had 1 visitor from google. Does anyone know why?
you go to tools then geotargeting. I wouldnt suggest doing it thought, not after what happened to mine haha
GEO Targeting is only useful if you want to only be found by people in one region of the world. Like your local hair salon or something like that. Or if you only want to be found in a certain country. That way when someone is looking in google maps for your region and types hair salon it will bring you up or something like that. Or if you only want to be listed in google.co.uk. All in all it's not worth the time or risk of doing as obviously some people are finding out.
I know, i wish i had never done it! Do you know how I can start getting google visitors again? I've submitted my site to loads more blogs, directories, forums etc and I still have not had 1 single google visitor since changing the geo targeting!
Google is confused after your actions. Wait for a week or two and keep publishing fresh content. I'm sure you will get your positions back.
Yup, give it some time, everything that has to do with search engines is usually quite slow ... Besides, did you have any problems with your hosting? Google cut my visitors from 5'000 a day to 300 a day because my server had some serious issues for 5 days in a row (an hour of downtime per day or so). You might want to check this out.
I had 1 visitor from google yesterday! looks like things are going back to normal! (NOT!!) I want my 30 visitors a day back
Its good that your work is getting back. But please give the details which have actually worked for your site.
