Hi, I have a site that got hit by the September Panda update. Before that it was ranking in the first 5 for the search term "2 player games". Now it's not in the first 100 ! I made a comparison between my site and another one from the first 10 results returned by Google. http://www.2playersonlinegames.com/ - PR 3 - AGE 1.8y - Backlinks ~ 3 971 - Alexa - 909 777 and http://www.2playerfun.com/ - PR 2 - AGE 0.5y - Backlinks ~ 13 266 - Alexa - 1 146 786 Can you help me understand why is Google ranking the second website better than the first ? Besides the data I mentioned for the 2 sites I notice better graphics on the first one and also better social signals. Yes the second one has shorter name and more back-links but is this enough to make a such a big difference?
When did this happen can you tell me. If this thing happen at the time of Google Update this need to be check.
maybe in the first time you still have spirit to improve you site, but now your time is to littel, try often update your site, maybe 3-4 time/week
Here is the 27update made by the Google at that time. 20th Google Panda Algorithm Update: Fairly Major (SER) How Do You Know If Google Panda Or EMD Hurt Your Site?
Load time according to http://tools.pingdom.com: http://www.2playersonlinegames.com/ - 956ms (load time) - 666.7kB (page size) http://www.2playerfun.com/ - 145ms (load time) - 176.6kB (page size) Is the load time so important ? I don't really think so. These are the figures for the site ranking in the first position for the terms : 3.19s (load time) - 681.5kB (page size) I checked other on-page factors and no big differences caught my eye. Maybe somebody else can spot something I missed.
The information that you have provided is good i have one question that how can we check error in code it there is.. error.And how do we take out broken link.
