Hi, I need some feedback or advices from u guys with regards to situation of my site. I own a site (wordpress blog) with about 30+ unique articles in health niche. My site is doing well with 1000+ visitors (keep increasing) and ranked high at Google and Yahoo for few keywords. Today, i found that the PR of the site changed from 1/10 to 0/10. At the same time, three of the main keywords which previously listed on first page of Google (#4th rank-#8th rank) could not be found on the first page anymore...not even third page! It's little bit funny as when i checked in Google webmaster tool, that three keywords still reported on good rank (i.e: 1st-9th rank). I used some other sites to check keyword ranking, also reported good result. PR checks...some sites give PR1, some sites give PR0. Luckily my site still ranked at first position on Yahoo for the main keyword. Do u guys have any experience on this? Looking for good feedback from all Thanks
I've got the same problem 2 months ago, and many keyword never appear again in first page (Google Webmaster Tool is showing the good result). Really don't know why
Sometime when google index or reindex their pages,it happened..don't worry you will come again in next runs..
I have a site that was in the top 10 of google for over 1 year for a highly searched keyword each day, and it has just dissapeared completley in the last few days. It still holds no1 on bing and yahoo, but as to what has happened with google, i have no idea. I made no changes etc that would warrant this and all my links to the site are relevant links. Just hoping this is temporary.
it happens all the time. How old is your site. If it was only established in the last 3- 6 months then google gives you more weighting in SERPS initially and then after that you have to fight for a place. My advice is to keep adding new articles, and keep building backlinks to your site through do follow blogging, do follow forum posting, article directory submission and link exchanges
If it's a new website (1-3) month's, then you might need to wait for a while instep to rank again.. Based on your website domain age, since indexed in Google my only guess is that your site is in the sandbox for now.
thanks for all feedbacks. if it is only a 'dance' by big brother Google and many of u experienced the same, so i'm less worry now. i'll keep adding more content assuming like nothing unusual happened to my site. for those experience this, do your site come back to normal position now? if any site is really in sandbox, does it mean that all pages will be affected? or, only certain pages? i asked this because my site still doing well for other keywords in Google. Thanks
No it didn't come back to normal This lose of ranking affected some of my pages that were in 1st page now they are page 4 and so Also I don't thinks its sandbox effect my site is 2 years old, and I add content every single day
ohhh god..it's really a dance i guess. now my site back to #3rd ranking on google! not sure how long it will last
my top positions and income were completely wiped out, seems like link building doesnt make much difference. I think Google gives certain sites special treatment
It often happens, Google rankings change, you shouldn't worry, but keep on updating and building content.
been happening to me a lot, was on page one for a big keyword now it keeps going from page one to page two, doing my head in! dont know what to do about it.
Im on page 18, used to be on page 2. Mind you I used some of the SEO services on here, done more harm than good
