    It wasn't broke... and now I broke it in Google... :(

    So a few days ago I decided to tweak something that was #1 in Google and on a site that was making me about $1K a month solid for a loooooong time.

    Instant page 3 the next day... So I switched it back... Now page 1 at spot #9...

    Now it makes me no money...

    Can I cry here? I feel like I already am... So...

    Always follow the simple rule:

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

      $1000 per month to $0 per month from one tweak? Ouch...

      I'd like to think there is more to the story

      What is the site?

            Yeah I've killed several good sites by trying to improve... So know the pain. Biggest mistake I made was converting all my hand coded html sites over to cms years ago. Did them all in a matter of weeks and killed the lot all at once.

                  The change was for converting eyeballs into tour takers... Changed some wording... Added campaign codes to some links... Adding some wording...

                    It was a tongue in cheek comment.

                    Pretty obvious the number one reason anyone makes changes to their website is to increase revenue.

                      It sucks that happened, but what a valuable lesson. Not "if it's not broke, don't fix it," but you now know what words and changes can take your site, and perhaps others from page 3 in google to page 1.

                              Been there done that. I just can't seem to help myself sometimes.

                              Maybe I should scramble my FTP passwords.

                                My little rule of thumb for established sites is add, but don't change or remove.

                                  Interesting... I have done some adding to other sites and never had a problem... But changing or removing what was already there always seems to break things.
