Trying to figure out why the heck my Google traffic on one of my sites just suddenly CUT OFF! Have a look... I've gone into webmaster tools and see 'No new messages or recent critical issues.' for the site in question..So, I can't figure it out? Why would my site drop all of sudden when Google is saying nothing's wrong? Are there any tools I can use to further analyze? Thanks!
So the latest Google Panda Update affected many websites but many webmasters didn't got emailed. Go and filter all the content on your website, see all the backlinks created and start disavow manual. You will have to wait though 1-2 Google updates to recover which is about 6-12 months.
The latest Panda rolled out months ago, why would it hit OP's website just now? I would more likely focus on ANY changes that you might have made in the recent days. You already have a starting point of the day when the traffic dropped so go back from there. You can also check your links as some toxic ones might have hurt you too. All in all, there aren't any specific "tools" that will find the cause for you, its all personal analysis I'm afraid
As far as I know Panda was updated regular when was launched. "Google stated in March 2013 that future updates would be integrated into the algorithm " Wikipedia Penguin wasn't updated since October 2013, so I guess is the content problem.
Thanks for your replies everyone! There were some new links I generated for the site in the last week so I'm wondering if that had something to do with it. Guess I'll have to start working my way backwards..Could links I have generated a week or two ago just be hitting now? Or would this have to be something more recent..within a couple days?
Sites with poor metrics can get your business down. Start getting all your links on a xls file so you can analyze them.
My best guess would be the links, it all fits together as you recently added them and their impact is not immediate. Check them out and I am pretty sure you would find the cause there.
If you are working with smaller niche sites and get dropped from Google then i would not waist my time using disavov tool because even if you disavov all the links there isn't any guarantees your site will get ranked again. I would just deindex my site and start all over moving the content into other domain.
