What Happened to Google on 11th of this month ?

cagliostro · 01-22-2012, 06:23 PM

I think now i have a complete image of what happened, i just don't know why.

On 11th of this month my most busy and ranked website lost 2/3 of the traffic, lost 2 MAJOR keywords totally (out of page 10) and also until now it has a Terrible click rate (from around 3% now has less that 0,5%).

Also ALL my websites in my account started to display mostly NON relevent ads.

That website domain was registered in 2004 (old) and was online from 2008. Very professional with users created content.

Well, this is what happened. Not sure why, i have some ideas but i will wait 2 weeks before testing and changing things.

Nothing. At least my websites haven't felt anything.

Hi cagliostro,

Sounds like you may have been hit by a recent Google Page Layout algorithm update:

I would say that but when i check (Incognito) the first page of the keywords i lost rank from Google, i see a totally different page from the recent past. Totally changed and includes irrelevant results.

So something else changed around that date.

My site increased with Google.com traffic. They must have updated. Are you building high-quality backlinks?

I completely restructured my link building strategy after Google panda. I no longer waste time and money on low quality backlinks in mass, instead just use high-quality backlinks. It's paying off!
