Making money on #5 is better than not making money on #1

make sites for people that convert with people and google will know and help you out

CyberHustler · 01-17-2012, 01:29 PM

It happens... did you completely change the content or just add new content?

Jarmusch · 01-17-2012, 01:29 PM

So your site was #1 and not making any money?

Google did you a favor by lowering your bandwidth costs.

PR_Sebas · 01-17-2012, 01:29 PM

How long has it been since you changed the content?

I've had similar situations where I've changed content and Google drops me for 7-21 days and then I'm back up again.

Maybe just give it some time and you'll be back up to #1.

Fabien · 01-17-2012, 01:32 PM

I would like to drop to the 5th position !
You don't make as much when you're at the top.

Surfers check out the links above yours and then after surfing for a while, gets to your site. You then get the sale !

pornguy · 01-17-2012, 01:32 PM

Nope it will go back up most likely.

digitalfantasies · 01-17-2012, 01:33 PM

of course google can lower your site if you change the theme / content... this is NOT weird...

never change a winning team... but since the nr 1 rank was not making you money... no harm done...

tonyparra · 01-17-2012, 01:48 PM

I started adding content last week, its all revelant, i started adding only videos i host, and i improving my titles on category and post pages. I didnt change any old content or links. Hope it comes back.

google is fucking wierd nowdays, seems all they care about is updates and links in.

CaptainWolfy · 01-17-2012, 02:30 PM

i assume that you havent add links in over a year? and when you changed the theme and content you triggered the google bot.... start adding some links slowly and you will get back..

Don't know about him but I added a single sentence to a page that was number 1 for years, few days later down to number 5. Google likes new content say the SEO gurus, yeah right.

B.Barnato · 01-17-2012, 03:19 PM

If it was not making any money, why bother trying to resuscitate it?

Concentrate on duplicating your projects that are actually making you money.

Don't get boners over rankings. Get boners over productive traffic.

Why · 01-17-2012, 04:47 PM

i love hearing people discuss the voodoo of algorithms, lol

seeandsee · 01-17-2012, 05:25 PM

you wasnt making money, so wtf fuckem

SDSimon · 01-17-2012, 09:30 PM

RE: "and i improving my titles on category and post pages"
Think algorithms. Changing titles, changes algorithm input.

geirlur · 01-18-2012, 01:15 PM

I had a #1 blog that was regulary updated, but then I added an "addthis" bar to every blog post, and they kicked me a few pages back.
After a couple of months it's back on the front page but not #1 yet..

Emil · 01-18-2012, 01:22 PM

Update the site, I have a site that's for the most part #1 under a gambling-keyword. Whenever it drops down to #2-3 I just update it and it jumps back up to #1.
