The story started on 21st of this month and here I will share wilth you all. The traffic drop from 1500 unique to 1000 -> 800 -> 400 -> 200 -> 100 Too bad almost of traffics are from Google (about 90%! and this make me think about I should have traffic from somewhere else too and not rely on only google.) The famous keywords I used to rank well in SERP from my fresh new articles every week were not there anymore. Them all are buried in the 4th page or more. The operation "site:" give the result drop from 1000 to 500 and not it stop at 463 with a lot of Supplemental Results. Look at those supplemental results, those are old pages that not exist in my site anymore. Here I guess I got duplicate content penalize. I used to have another blog installed on another directory, but I moved to use wordpress lately. I imported all contents from old blog to new blog and use mod_rewrite to redirect the traffic to new blog. Well, it is a lot of job to do the complete the redirect so there are many of them can't redirect to the right page, but redirect to the same page instead. I guess that will be concerned as a duplicated content. Now I remove the mod_rewrite to redirect the traffic (since no traffic anymore!) and leave it to be 404 I wish this will be the lesson for someone who think about move the content to somewhere.
Do you run DP coop ads on your site? It would seem that lots of sites were hit by some change in the google algo on June 21st... I haven't heard any definitely answers to what it specifically was but some people have linked DP coop as being a possible answer.
Yes, I use co-op ads, but it doesn't happen to the other site I use. So I guess nothing wrong with co-op ads.
I did use Coop as well and also experienced a big drop in June, not until I removed coop last week that my traffic stabilized. Though I got no real proof that its coop causing my site to get penalize.
Well I also had a big drop and I have yet to remove my coop ads and it looks like my rankings are slowly climbing back so I'll b eleaving my coop ads for the time being and will just be seeing how things pan out. I'll keep everyone informed.
Duplicate content filters are becoming rough these days , web is enralging it self much time of it s size with almost no size of it s content change. Evrything is "here and there" It s hard jet to create something from zero, and if you have industry of articles website o boy you re DUPDUPDUPlicated. Yet, there is a way. For all files containg text ext *.doc *.php *.html *.txt etc. you can folow automaticly change add remove replace insert with software called HTML Search and Replace www-alentum.com/htmlsr/index.htm Especially HTML some things are same, like body tag beggining and end and there are some that are same in niches websites used a lot for adsense So insert these after body beggining insert that before body end You got the idea
