I think I have Been Google Slapped
- SEO |
Hello fellow warriors I have been working on this now for almost a month and can't seem to figure it out. When I switched my permalinks over to a more seo friendly permalink I lost all of my search engine traffic which is to be expected with a massive change as this. At the time of the change I was getting around 100-300 search engine visitors a day spread out through about 500 pages at the time. My links now are as follows http://www.massivemarketers.com/blog/feed where before my links looked like this SEO Search Engine Optimization Building Your Online Business MassiveMarketers or something like that any how.
When I did this permalink change I knew it would be a huge hit to my traffic I just did not know how long. I was able to get some of my top pages relisted with in google the same day of the change by simply pinging the heck out of each post. Making sure not to ping the site itself more then 3 total times that hour to make sure I wouldnt be black listed.
Also before I was basically targeting anyone and every one sticking with only hot trends to post about on my blog. I since then after doing some more learning here and on other forums. I thought it would be better to stick with my main categories which are as follows: bussiness news, curadedt/debt relief or settlement, economy, people and places, seo, sports, and an uncategorized section for rampblings and what not.
I also then rebuilt the site to be more apealing. Which really has nothing to do with search engines at all. I post just about every single day to this blog. I am now well over 1000 pages for this blog alone. I do know atleast half of my pages are indexed with google. But the only search engine traffic that is showing up on my analytics is when I do searches with a keyword site:massivemarketers.com This is to give me an idea of if I am showing up anywhere for the keyword on the search engines. I do know I am showing up for the key words I am targeting by dong this.
What I do not understand is that if I did not modify any of the post at all and went through pinging them. To get them relisted which did just that how did I lose my rank for certain keywords. For instance one keyword I was holding the number 2 spot for was daily niche. Now when I do a search with this keyword I can not find my post on the first ten pages but i do know I am still hitting this keyword for that post doing the keyword site:url search. Since this blog is mainly an adsense blog with out the search engine traffic like I was having before. I am losing money drasticly every single day. When I was getting atleast 3 ad clicks aday out of the 100-300 search engine visitors aday. What should I do and thanks everyone for your help on this matter.
