I am still got my confusing since this happen, I already followed all the white hat guidelines from G and now get the result like this.

I am getting lots of emails from people in the “hotel” areas, not sure if it is the same thing my site went through.

The hotel industries competitive algo. shuffling of rankings could make a good future post, seems like many of you own hotel sites that are either thriving or doing absolutely nothing.

I had the same experience like you right now, my site disappeared for most the main keyword search in G..

How could you get back in there, please advise me here..

my business the only one that I had to feed my family, and black could moody comes over me since there.

Thanks

Isn’t it amazing that as long as it happens to the other guy; It is all a matter of calm cool logic. But, let it happen to your own site and then suddenly our mood darkens and our outlook on Google immediately gets paranoid. We all must remind ourself that Google responds rather slowly. So should we.

We all must resist the urge to overreact to bad news. And, just maintain a big enough bank account to get us through the down turns. If you wont constantly looking at your site stats, you might have overlooked the entire affair.

But yeah, I agree with adding some more marketing approaches, including exploring traditional ones such as print, radio or tv (depending on budget).

I will be looking for other channels but so far I see a bunch of crap out here, Google is gettin’ er’ done.

Looks above for updates to this post, my site is back with the flick of a switch.

You made one major (but common) mistake: you put all your eggs in one basket, and it’s a basket you have absolutely no control over whatsoever.

What happens if Google changes their algorithm drastically tomorrow?
What happens if people stop using it as an engine?
What if it get swallowed up by MSN in a hostile takeover?
What if, what if, what if…?

There are too many variables to tie your can to one provider of service such as Google, especially a free one.

This is actually one of the major problems with the whole SEO concept in general: too many people go all or nothing. You can’t do that anymore.

I am talking about losing all traffic from Google on a site that is about as white hat as they get when it comes to relationships with affiliate content.

Pretty hard to explain but believe me, Google still is the better engine and they do just as you say, rank more “quality” results.

It’s the introduction of personalized search and other things that trap users that bothers me.

Don’t worry, I will get over it and darken my SEO if that is what it takes, I am no fool but have been a little foolish indeed.

Why in the world would you ever believe that? Google is out for Google, but that also means providing the user “quality” results. Someone will always be disappointed by the algorithm and what ultimately appears at the top of the results. It’s not about the big guy or little guy.

I’ve been in your shoes Aaron. I know its not fun looking at the SERPs 10 times a day across 20-30 DCs hoping to see positive change.

Doing the right thing doesn’t guarantee success. It does increase your odds of success, but so does doing the wrong thing – just the risks are greater.
