Hi all, a couple of days ago I noticed a big drop in my Google Analytics. When i checked my site in Google, using the site: parameter, i noticed NONE of my pages are indexed anymore. This used to be a well visited website with about 200 visitors a day. All content is unique written by my girlfriend. I didn't get a message of a penalty, not in my mail, not in webmaster tools (don't through which way i should receive it, never got it) Also, when i submit my RSS feed as a sitemap in Google webmaster tools, containing 21 urls, it says they are all indexed ... This is the site i'm talking about: http://bit.ly/jME8WB Also, i noticed this same drop on http://bit.ly/mcraNY Another well visited blog on this same domain, http://bit.ly/lWquQX , didn't show this drop. Is there any one who can explain this happening?
did you build too many links in short time? it happened with me too. once i build too many links. Are you using same design on your sites? i mean google hired people to track network of site with footprints. it also happened with me , many of my sites using same design and all deindex. most of my sites have unique contents. submit request to google: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35843 Thanks.
You should not interlink your websites if they are hosted on same server. By doing that, you are trying to create a link farm in Google eyes.
And still there are so many link farms that are doing very fine. Unless you have 100 sites and you interlink them all, it shouldn't be a problem for 2, 3, 4.
