Search Engine Rankings Dropped !

Discussion in 'SEO' started by mortgagesinc, Jan 2, 2009.

    Changed server about 3 weeks ago. Two days after this all my rankings dropped across all search engines. the domain is www.mortgagesinc.co.uk

    The new server is UK based and is dedicated. I also changed some pages to https as I was previously with fasthosts.

    Can anyone help as this is very stressful and effects my business greatly.:confused:

    I think the main problem is changing server.so, u have to again promote your sites, and also depend upon google algo, thanks.

    Just wait it out, it takes time for your rankings to come back but once google realizes its the same site they will be back to normal

    SERP changes all the time. Just get more back links to it!

    I have done plenty of backlinking so I doubt its that. The website was ranked well for over a year. I can understand a few keywords losing posistion but all of them I wouldnt be so sure.

    Also I have found out that the IP address of my new server says its hosted in the US although the company says its located in the UK. Im sure this would have an effect also ?

    I doubt that your rankings were affected because of a server change...

    Do you have the sites country setup in your Google webmasters tools? If yes that it should not matter if the server IP is in US...

    dont you think it is a bit of a coincidence that the rankings dropped two days after we switched hosting. Up untill then they had been rock solid.

    It is hard to tell... But generally your hosting should not matter for the SERPS...

    The only time it would matter is if you are hosting your site on the same IP with a lot of junky banned sites, but since you are on dedicated server this should not concern you...

    Do you see that all search engines dropped your rankings of just a particular one? - If yes which one?

    Was your previous server UK based? If your site was previously hosted on a server
    from a different country and you changed to the UK this will have a negative effect
    on your rankings in the serps, there's not much you can do at this point, you should
    continue to build backlinks.

    should putting it back to a UK IP resolve the issue. Rankings dropped on Google & Yahoo. MSN not so much
