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! |

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.

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.

To really be able to say you can generate traffic is a process devoid of any 3rd party.
