*[HELP] Site Suddenly Lost All Rankings Out Of Nowhere!!!***

adz124 · 10-20-2011, 09:39 AM

Hey Guys,

First off I want to say thanks for taking the time to read my post.

My SEO consists of:
- SeNuke X ( A Full Monty Blast for each post sometimes 2 or 3)
- Scrapebox (AA List)
- AMR Submission

I was able to rank for some great keywords and I was having a lot of success!

BUT...

Yesterday every single keyword I was ranking for dropped off the first page of google. They are still able to be searched on google but they are on the 10th+ page. My site is still index but all my rankings dropped significantly.

I've filed a google reconsideration request but I don't know what else to do, I've put a lot of work into my website and it was a big accomplishment to me. Any advise as to how I can get my site to start ranking again as it was before would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time!

Jeez. You've gone a bit too OTT. Your rankings have only been affected for 24 hours, this is 80%+ of the time caused by the Google Dance, in which case your site would return to normal or even better in the SERP's given a week or two.

If however after a week or two it hasn't returned this may indicate a penalty has been applied to your domain. You really should not of filed a reconsideration request after just 24 hours, that was possibly a daft idea.

I've had a penalty for over 2 months and last week filed a reconsideration request that i won, however Google may take a look at your site as a result of your reconsideration request and actually apply a manual penalty (if your site breaks any of the Google Guidelines). You've basically said to Google, hey, look at my website, it gives you the opportunity to see if i'm gaming you!

Anyway, i wish you all the luck and hope your site returns.

Thanks for your help!

I don't understand how every single keyword I've been ranking for over 2 months just dropped off the first page though!

man you where building links way way to quick by the looks of things.

Looks like google noticed this and dropped you maybe sandboxed

adz124 · 10-20-2011, 09:59 AM

My site is still listed/indexed on google but my site isn't ranking at all on the first page like it used to for all my posts.

How old is your site? What you can do is just keep doing what you doing and wait for it to come back.

Looks like you've been handed the old link building slap. How old is the site? These days theres not much you can do but wait it out. Sometimes the site will come back just fine and sometimes not at all.

Even though un natural link building may have been the biggest culprit, I have found that if you strengthen your content it helps lift the penalty. Combine pages that all have similar content into 1 great page. Add some videos and a really make the content great on each page and then the penalty is usually lifted in a few days. Sometimes it not though. Ya never know with Google.

The site is 4 months old but the domain has been registered for 2 years.

Thank you everyone for your help I really appreciate it!

razorhound · 10-20-2011, 10:31 AM

If it's 4 months then it's normal. My sites getting more and more stable after 8 to 10 months. Expect it to happen a few more times though since you are blasting with those SEO software mentioned above.

coronaborcalis · 10-20-2011, 10:40 AM

Maybe your site got hit by Panda 2.5.2 and since you already submit reconsideration request what you need to do just wait and check your webmaster account to look for reply from Google team

Cheers

So I should expect my rankings to return to normal soon?

I can't give you exact answer but according to my experience my site get back after few weeks and it happen because blasting article submission with AMR and yes it rank higher after no where to be seen

Thank you everyone for your replies if anyone has any additional feedback I'd appreciate it!

you probably been hit with a google over optimization penalty . this was caused by you probably backlinking to much with the same keywords. In order to prevent this and get out of this you will need to diversify your keywords. Add many more keywords and try ranking them for your pages . If they get ranked higher then you know its a goop. Once you get diversified then your other keywords will start to rank again.

I've had the same thing happen before and it seems to be a google penalty. For me it seems to have occured a week or so after having a dramatic change in the number of links I've built. Either building too many or not building any all of a sudden.

The penalty lasted about a month the first time and about 3 months the 2nd time. On both occasions the page that was penalized returned to where it was before (or close enough to it)

julianbooth123 · 10-30-2011, 11:54 PM

Yes the site will face the problem of Google Dance when its new, it will take time for the rankings to be stable. So there is no need to worry, your site will return back to normal or even better. I would also advice you to do the manual link building as the softwares you mentioned builds the link very fast thus giving a wrong indication to Google. Best Luck.
