Advice Please - Did AMR Blast Kill My site?
- SEO |
Hello Warriors,
I'm a long time lurker and reader, but today I need to ask a question that I couldn't resolve with 'search'.
I have a small 'vitamin' website which gets around 12000 visits/mth. I've owned the site for nearly 10 years.
The site has around 120 pages of unique and well written themed content.
It has around 650 back-links, some from good authority sites like Yahoo, Huffington post etc.
My site has always been on the first page of google for its most important search term - a medium comp term, but since Panda it as dropped below the fold into the bottom 3.
After reading a lot about syndication and article marketing I decided to invest in AMR (Article Marketing Robot).
I've submitted articles manually on and off over the years and I've used isnare.com - though never really found more than 10 or 12 of my articles outside of my own website.
So here's the kicker - I did a distribution using AMR and my home page has dropped down to 500 deep! This is the first time in 9 yrs that I've been off the first page of Google and it feels like crap!
The distribution went to 700+ sites, I deleted the obvious spammy stuff that I could see in AMR. I didn't ping anything so figured google would start to see the links more slowly.
I didn't spin the article but I spun the bio. All the bio links were the same, to my home page. I spread the contextual links between around 6 internal pages and 6 search terms.
Will it come back?
Should I stop all distribution or do more?
What the heck did I just do?
Incidentally, before you ask why I did this for a site that already ranked well, I was trying to spread into other longer tail KW's within my niche to develop my traffic base more, and also boost my home page back up a few places!
Any ideas on what just happened and is it fixable, would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks
Allen
