Anybody else's Google traffic died?
 

I've noticed that Google has done something a few weeks ago and all of my Google traffic has died. Anybody else is having that problem?

yeah they raised all the bids LOL
bid more

are you talking about adwords traffic or just traffic from the organic searches?


I know somene that has a blog that was getting some really good traffic and had great ranks in google then it just disappeared and the traffic went with it.

My organic rankings have suddenly been all over the board the last couple weeks.

the same here :(

I'm not talking about AdWords, I'm talking about regular search results.

Up up up for me, its all about how you play the game

Have you fallen into the supplemental index?

What's a "supplemental index" and what happens to a site to fall into it?

I played the game just fine. I was #1 for all 3 of my most important searches. I was there for about 3 years now, and that's why I'm so surprised that it's changed so fast and so dramatically. It's not like I have simply fallen into a 2nd or 3rd spots - my site simply has disappeared from the top 10 at once.

yeah took a swift kick in the bag a few weeks ago as well

Are your sites still listed at all?

Yes. So, it's not like I was banned. This has happened about 2 years ago and after 2 months - it all went back to normal. So, I'm wondering if that's the case this time as well. From what I understand it's impossible for Google to dramatically improv or change their algorythm as it's based on a very solid and simple concept. So, whenever they shuffle things around - it only makes it worse and they roll it back when they realize they fucked up.

this is the google, don't ask why, only be ready for any kind of shit happens...

Sounds to me like you got screwed on "trust rank". Probably linked to a bad neighborhood recently?

google drives me nuts
i lost a pr8 link and my google traffic vanished too
then my site dropped from a pr6 to a pr4
shoot me.

What's "trust rank"?

Sounds like a 'quality' issue.

I lost my rankings for a few great keywords about 3 months ago and they haven't came back yet. Yahoo on the other hand is doing good for me.

Google dropped me about a month ago, but recently I started getting more keywords and traffic then before they dropped me.

Still going strong ........ sorry if I took over your ranks :)

too fucking funny!

Is there an online scan, or whatever to check if there's links to "bad neighborhoods"..

Would suck to check each link one by one.. is there something that would scan/spider my site & tell me if anything is a "bad neighborhood"?

I dont know of any place that does that currently seems like it would be a tool thats out there already tho. Making a script to do that would be fairly simple via Google API.

samp!!!!!!!!!

Depending on Google is not a good business plan.

What he said...

I lost half my regular google traffic starting about 10 days ago...

They're getting ready to launch Google.XXX :1orglaugh

100% correct. I've been burned by Google before and I learned from that mistake...

Were your keywords generic and does your website contain porn related content?

Google has been tweaking a lot to remove porn from generic search phrases.
