Domain Renewal
- SEO |
I have a domain that was set to expire March 4th. In the weeks leading up to that date, my SERP's dropped across the board 100 places. I had some keywords I ranked 1st for and then in the weeks before the expiration, they dropped down to 144-180.
I forgot to renew the domain and wound up renewing it March 5th. I haven't done anything to the page in the last week or two (no new content, no backlink building, etc.). However, all of my rankings have returned to their normal position and some even better.
I'm not saying this is conclusive evidence that registration duration is a part of Google's algorithm but it may help those of you whose rankings have been hurt lately and your domain is expected to expire soon.
