Has it improved? I had the same thing happen, my site was getting a few thousand uniques per hour from thousands of keywords and the lot vanished in 10 minutes. What is your URL? Im interested in analyzing the site, you can PM me if you dont want to post the domain.
Sweetfunny, I haven't seen any improvement for this particular site and also today being the weekend, the effect is a lot more. Have you seen any improvements in your sites traffic ? Curious to know what exactly is happening.. is it a temporary glitch or something wrong from our side ? Wish google posts the issue in webmaster central.. /G
sweetfunny and Kontent.solutions, what are your stories? and what are you gonna do? My best action so far is to fix the issue and submit request for reconsideration. Any of you know how long it takes to process that? Any advice on that?
Before submitting a reinclusion request, it might be a good idea to see if the site has indeed been banned. That's why I posted a request for the URL to your site - so I could see for myself what's going on. As sweetfunny said, you're more than welcome to PM the URL if you don't want to share it publicly.
No improvements, my site went from xx,xxx uniques per day to virtually zero from Google and it all happened in under an hour. The site is fully indexed, fresh cache dates, 100's of PR6 and PR5 pages, around 2GB of Googlebot crawls a month but it doesn't appear in the top 1,000 results for really anything besides it's domain name. It appears to be a glitch on my site, not sure about yours. The site was earning $450 a day, and it happened roughly 90 days ago so it's a costly glitch.. $40,500 worth and counting.
Thats really HUGE blow ! No much improvements here either. I've mailed Google about re inclusion, got to wait and see what happens. Did you mail them about re-inclusion? Curious to see your site. If you are comfortable, you can PM me the URL. /G
Can you believe that I lost the same on my 300= quality websites of different niches, I am still astonished and now need lots of research works again. Valuelinks.
Sorry to hear about your huge loss. As far as your PR is concerned, does it still stay the same? and Google still crawls your site rite? You know what cause the penalty? Did you file the reconsideration request? How come it takes so long for your case, I wonder. An update from my case. We have identified exactly where the cause of the problem. It is the text being hidden when loading page, even though we put very clear link "show text", it still violates Google Guideline. I have submitted reconsideration request two days ago and haven't heard back from Google. Normally it takes a few days or more depending your case. I will post it here as soon as I hear anything from Google. However, my advice is that before you submit the request, you need to be 100% confident that every single page of your site is compliant with Google Guideline. I have just checked our webmaster page. It shows all sitemaps being downloaded just exactly one hour ago, all of them, at the same time. Not sure it is a regular thing or Google is up to something with our site now(???)
I think thats mainy because of hidden text or links so avoid it and try to remove duplicate pages also. Dont worry some time these happened on google and you will get the traffic back in few days
