Hello! 3 of our sites experienced significant decrease in SERP rankings and traffic last week. Does anyone have the same experience? Please share your ideas. I will greatly appreciate your help. Thanks.

    Can not tell unless and until you share more information. Need to understand your sites, and then need to analyze what could be the possible reason.

    But it looks like these days Google is hunting down sites that are over optimized.

      As of now, we have only done manual SEO for our sites and we did not avail yet of any automated tool to make backlinks, etc. I have been away for more than a week and was not able to do SEO on them for a few days. When I got back, I've seen that ours sites have massive decrease in rankings. Some keywords went from 20th rank to nothing.

        These are the strategies we have followed for our site:
        1. article marketing
        2. blog commenting
        3. guest blogging
        4. forum posting
        5. social bookmarking
        6. participating in Yahoo answers
        7. creating web 2.0

        We are not yet active in social media but our keyword ranks have been steadily increasing until all of them suddenly dropped in the SERPs. The decrease was very significant, some even went from page 1 to nothing at all.

        Please help me. Did anyone experience this recently? What should we do to correct this problem? I will greatly appreciate all your help. Thanks.

    most of the sites are affected by new google algo, so may be you are also in the boat of victims.

    Gut feeling tells me the recent Algo change may have affected your site,its not very nice when it happens but its Googles way of saying you have to improve content or the likes.

    It could be a coincidence but Google have been acting like a crazy old cat lady with alzheimers in the last week so it is probably something to do with that.
