hi, sesile.com ranked excellent on google for many years. since 6 months the 95% of the traffic stopped in a second and never recovered no matter what we do. we have no clue why exactly it happened and it is sad not only for us, but also for the men who seek russian brides online as we are one of the very few websites with large database or real women. if anybody can identify the problem and prescribe a working recipe will be awarded beyond expectations by us.
If its more than 95% drop, you are probably penalized by Google. Contact all the people who did SEO for you, maybe one of them tried a Black Hat method and got caught. BUT I still see ~10,000 of your pages are indexed. So you are not in Google's banned list. Did you do a major change to your website? Changed titles? Add keyword tag? Changed layout? or something like that? Check your webmaster tools. and Analytics account. see what went wrong...
hi, no, there were no changes for sure. probably not a penalty because in a single second most of our 100 domains lost most of their traffic, so we assume it was an algorithm change because we use the same seo techniques for all. i do the seo, no other people do it. it is not banned, some 30 people still come per days from google, but it used to be hundreds of them. not sure how you will categorise our methods as white or black hat, but i assure you that those that rank rank on the top for our keywords do plenty on dark side! more than us. so the question what to do on the practical side? we will offer also financial reward if somebody identifies the problem and tell us how to solve it in way that feel we want to try...
There are a few things, i have sent a PM to you. If you find them to be correct(i might be wrong as i dont know much abt your SEO) pls share those points alone here. It will benefit others
thanks illianafrazer, , you really took the job seriously! yes, some of the points could be valid. it is quite a list so it will take me some time checking them out.
