Hey everyone,
So over the past year my website has been doing pretty well, the previous year was even better.. but then January 2017 came.
Since January one of my websites has essentially vanished into thin air. It went from around 2K hits a day down to around 250 and that's if I promote it on twitter. The website itself has been around for 4 - 5 years now. I'm wondering if it's totally fucked in the shitter and I should abandon it.
Previously I had over 150,000 links to my website. Now I have only 9000 and 7000 or so are from my other website. I don't know if google has devalued almost everything that was previously pointing to my site or if they all closed down or what. My other website is similar, it had over 350,000 links to it but now also in the low 1000's.
I've used a number of google penalty / ban checkers and they all say I am fine, no penalties and no bans. No messages in the search console either.
The above picture is from the google search console. This is the clicks. I have no idea what happened but something caused it to flatline... again, it's not banned or any penalties at all. I have no fucking idea what happened.
Is this even recoverable? Is it beyond totally fucked? Should I shut down this site and start a new one fresh and that will have far better chances since it's new vs this old one that appears to be poisoned?
What would you do in this situation? Any tips?
Below is a disgusting picture of my analtics for this site.
Thanks you guys, you're the best.
