On Wednesday the SE Round Table Blog noticed a thread on WebMasterWorld regarding a potential Google Update. Matt Cutts did comment saying he was sure that an update was not happening.
I’ve noticed my blog hit with a few changes in Google over this last week. I say hit because the changes were not positive. Here are my symptoms:
- Pages Indexed down on a few data centers from well over a hundred to 7-9. These data centers also reported that my home page was not indexed.
- Organic Search Referrals down considerably. They usually account for 50% of my traffic and have lately been accounting for less than 20%
- My blog is not indexed in the Google Blog Search anymore (and I have tried re-submitting)
Has anyone else noticed considerable changes for their website in Google?
Not seeing anything similar with our clients. We are actually seeing the opposite – most of the terms we are targeting are moving up and traffic is up as well coming from Google.
This is for about 15 different sites in different industries.
That’s interesting. Is that across various industries as well?
We noticed we lost 9 kw’s this week – Which is a lot for us. We are pretty stable in that area. Another item noticed is a huge drop in number of indexed pages. We went from a consistent 890 to 200 since last week even though our xml sitemap has 1k url’s in it.
Have you read any of these posts?
