Membership Site BIG Mistake
- SEO |
I am a rather new and inexperienced internet marketer. I run a fishing related website that up until now, has been free and open to everyone.
I made the mistake this past week of restricting half the site to "member's only," not realizing at the time that I was also preventing Google from accessing some of my best posts and pages.
Many of these posts and pages have extensive backlinks pointing to them, and I was ranking very high for some of my top keywords.
Well now my site is buried in the Google rankings. I've gone back and reopened all the posts and pages I had previously put restrictions on-hoping Google would notice and return my site to its previous rankings.
Any ideas if Google will boost me back up to where I used to be, now that I have reopened my posts? If the answer is yes, how long do you think I will have to wait?
Any help is much appreciated! I'm really booting myself in the butt over this one. You live and learn I suppose.
Thanks!
