As I have posted before, my Google traffic fell to almost nothing on May 1st. Only my main page is showing up at all on SERPS. I don't understand...before a couple days ago I had many pages showing up on page one for their keywords. I bought the domain back in September. I did a major redesign on March 13th and things were going awesome. Now all of a sudden I get next to no traffic at all from Google except for an occasional visit to my main page which, as I said before, is the only thing showing up in SERPS now. The thing is that Google shows all the pages as still indexed in webmaster tools. The URL is http://www.wowguideonline.com Google Sitemap statistics: Total URLs: 179 Indexed URLs: 63 The only thing I did was on May 1st, I used the free digiXMAS software at www.digixmas.com to submit the site to directories. Can someone tell me what is going on and how I can get my Google traffic back?
PR doesnt mean anything.. don't worry about that crap. im guessing some text is been duplicated? and thus de-indexed for duplicate text?
Thats well possible, actually if you want to know if you have been removed from the index (from what it sounds) if you goto google and simply type in your domain name i.e. mydomain.com are you at position #1, if not, there is a big chance you may have been removed, although some people may scream at me for saything this, so i will extend it, instead of #1 check to see if your are at least on page 1. If you have been removed then a reconsideration request is what you will need, i had two domains pointing at the same content, i was removed from the index for double content penalty, explained to google what happened and what i did to rectify the problem, i was re-indexed within 2 weeks. Maybe a google search for the directory submitting software you used and see if someone else has had the same problems, i would search for something like "digixmas removed from serps" see if anyone else has had a problem, good luck.
well on one of my sites, I've noticed that I fell for a keyword I was ranking for. I'm still in the directory and I still rank for the title of my site, but the keyword I'd been ranking for for a very long time no longer lists me - I fell literally right out of the all the serps (I've only gone through 4000 of the results). That's my main page I'm talking about, remarkably other pages from my site appear lower in the serps (within 3000 results) and they all rank separately for the keywords in the page. I'm not sure why, but Google has currently deindexed my main page but ranks all my others, I hope it's only temporary and I believe this is being done to a few others. Since there's no clear lines of communication with Google - I can only assume that this will be resolved or that it's a permanent thing.
