Top 10 in yahoo for 3 weeks, then drop out completly. How?
 

So my personal site was in the top 10 in yahoo for a good term for 3 weeks, and then all of a sudden today, i can't even find it in the first 10 pages!

What do you think happened?

Anyway to get it back there, or is it gone for good? Any insight on this?

By the way, the only change I made to the site was adding a little java script code to it which adds a link to another site.

that did it.

Cloudy the future is.

i had a mainstream site do that, off and on, for about a month then it finally just rested at a good spot, for months now. so it might be reading your changes..watch it for a month..check it a few times a day actually..you might see it go up and down.

hate to say it, but the people that had your spot before you were in top 10 said the same thing about you ;)

"i was in top 10 now some asshole stole my spot"

Once you get a good SERP, you don't change it! If it aint broke, don't fix it! Now, you fixed it and broke it!

no money in SEO

Like you know what your talking about :winkwink:

yep, happens to alot of people. I had great listings for 3 months making thousands on 1 site and BAM gone lol.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh That's so fucking true!! I've fucked myself out of some great positions by "tweaking" things...

remove that java script, get a couple of more inbound links and you'll' be on even better position than you've been... :)

i might have happen that you linked some banned or non-working site... check this out, too... this happened to me three days ago...

give me the url, so i can tell you...

What happened to me on one of my sites was quite the feast. Initially, MSN and Y! listed it fantastically - for about 4 months. Then Google woke up, dragged it out of the sandbox and while the G traffic picked up tremendously, Y! and MSN aren't sending shit anymore. Go figure. Like they gave each other a high 5 and passed on the relay stick.

backlinks are in the hundreds right now, more and more every week, but MSN and Y! just don't like the site anymore.

you must ahve pisted them offf

I've had a good term going up and down for months ... and I ended up #1... still am

you probably did something then... ???

On one happy little site I had 6 months of crazy yahoo listings #1-5 on tons of 1, 2, 3 word phrases and then over night POOF. no changes or anything to the site either, just gone.

First off - give it a few weeks - dont change anything more to try to fix it - the only thing that would help is to add more "content" - or text that really applies to the site.

Second - hit me up when you get a chance and we can talk - never charge for SE stuff here - and Juicy's right :)

you can get 10 ten listing on yahoo with no back links at all :winkwink:

yep, I have top 10, nobody links to me :)

They banned you for posting a pic of your dick the other day

Some good info here so far, but check this out. Now all of a sudden the site is back, now ranked #15. WTF?

Any more input? :)
