Dropping rank for everything but main keyword?
- SEO |
On 7th-8th of March my main website dropped for every keyword except the main one. It's been picking up a lot of longtail traffic for the past few months, and seemed to grow even more after the big algorithm changes last month (Mar 5th was a traffic record). On 7th-8th it lost all the longtail stuff.
Right now it's ranking only for the main keyword at #1 still, so I don't think it's a penalty, but it's lost every other ranking it held, which accounted for about 25% of the total traffic. I had a few other keywords on page 1/2, and now they've all dropped. The site gets zero longtail traffic now, only for the single main keyword.
All of my content is unique, but I don't know if it lost that status because my web host got hacked and I had to rebuilt the site from scratch from what I had saved.
Any ideas? I know all about the Google dance, but I've never heard of it happening where the main keyword stays #1 but every other keyword drops. :confused: I don't think it's a penalty, because again, it still holds #1 for the main keyword. Is this typical of a dance? It's only 4 months old, so probably not stable in the SERPs yet, I guess.
