Help: Dropped from Google SERP

8 replies

I have an exact match domain that ranked #22 in Google SERP. I updated the site with content last night, added adsense, and submitted a sitemap to Google. Now the site doesn't appear in Google SERPs. No results when I do "site:<domain>".

Did adding the content, adding adsense, or submitting the sitemap hurt me?

How do I get the site back into Google SERPs?

If anyone has advice or a similar experience, I would love to hear.

    Why in the world THAT would knock you off SE's?

    Just relax, I'm assuming it's a new site and just "danced" a bit.

    That's all.

    Relax. This isn't an exact game when it comes to Google.

    I'm willing to bet that within a week you'll be back in the SERPS and probably higher then you were previously.

    Only if in adding content to the page you bumped some previous content off the first page.

    Keep building backlinks, it will get higher when it re-appears. Its natural to lose your position and re-gain it especially when your site is still trying to get to the top.

    ya don't panic, google does odd things all the time. Does your site really not show up when searching for "mysite.com"??? Keep working on your SEO and building links. I have noticed sites moving down a bit when making changes to the html.

      Thanks again for the advice. This was an over reaction. Back in the Google SERP and at higher position than before. Time to build more backlinks.

    Google dance, keep building more sites, so the google dance doesn't affect you that much overtime.
