Everyone who know’s anything about SEO will agree that Google’s algorithm can be quite confusing. I have read horror stories about websites going from making thousands of dollars a day to nothing – just like that! While this probably makes sense on Google’s end, the website owner is dumbfounded as to why this has happened. They are trying to think of everything they have done with the website to make sure everything was on the up-and-up, but they can’t think of anything. Well my friends… this is where I am.
(rankings dropped, then came back for a week… then dropped again.
About two weeks ago I was checking the Google Analytics Stats on one of my niche websites, only to find out I had a whopping 0 hits for the day! At first I thought it was an error, but then after searching for my top search terms, I found all of my rankings were GONE! The only thing I ranked for was typing in the name of the website itself. This was very frustating, but to my surprise it only lasted one week! Late August I started getting my rankings back, and getting some traffic. I was very excited, until to my surprise I lost all of my rankings yesterday! Oh the drama!
Hopefully I’ll steady out in a week and this will never happen again. I wish Google would notify the website what it was doing wrong – if anything.
Let me know if you’ve experienced anything similar in the comments!
