I dont know what happened?!? Help!
-
Up until yesturday I was mainly getting entrances to my site through www.moondoggieinc.com/dog-harness.php like 60-70 a day
After yesterday, it's dropped to one or two! I haven't made any major changes to the site? I don't know what happened!
I am starting to feel really discouraged and don't know what to do! I have no clue what my next move should be in trying to get this site working well in organic search. I feel lost now, PLEASE help!
Any suggestions on what to do with http://www.moondoggieinc.com would be a great help! I feel so lost!
THANKS!

When I look in Bing webmaster tools, I don't see anything they suggested w/i parameters? I dont see any parameters set...?
It doesn't appear they changed anything, but I might not be looking in the right place...
I attached a screenshot, but i dont think they set any parameters?
Thanks you so much!

Google and Bing don't talk to each other, so Bing wouldn't know about the parameters you set in Google.
My gut says that maybe Bing chose the wrong things to ignore? I'd look at what they suggested and see if it needs adjusting and if they are ignoring too many things.

I just checked Bing webmasters tools and found this message from the day that I started not getting hits from bing or yahoo.
It was the only message I had in bing webmasters:
Query parameters for normalization found on moondoggieinc.com
Site: http://moondoggieinc.com/Date: 8/26/2012Priority: LowBing has detected new parameters in your URLs. Please visit the Ignore URL Parameters feature in the Configure My Site section of Bing Webmaster Tools to review the suggested parameters. If you are certain that a suggested parameter does not change or determine the page content, you can add it to the list of parameters to ignore by clicking on the suggested parameter. This helps reduce duplicate URLs for the same content and allows Bing to crawl and index more relevant URLs, potentially improving the overall traffic for your site.I had parameters set in google for almost 2 months now, are they picking up on that?
-
In that case, I'd verify my site in Bing's Webmaster Center and see if you have any notifications, if it's just Yahoo/Bing (since Bing powers Yahoo's index). I am seeing your site and that page in particular in Bing, including when I do a search for dog harness.

In looking at it ALL my traffic from yahoo and bing went away... I was receiving about 50 hits a day from those engines and over the past 2 days I have received none.
How can that happen?

Hi Kristy,
I'd look at a couple of things. First, have you verified your site in Google Webmaster Tools? If not, do so now. If you have, log into your account and see if you have any messages saying an action was taken with regards to your site.
Second, you haven't made major changes, but even a minor change in the right part of the code could have caused your analytics to stop working.
Before we get into full-fledged panic mode, let's do a little diagnosis. Take a deep breath, and go back to your analytics and get a little more information.
- Is it just that one page that suddenly has no entrances?
- Is your site traffic as a whole down?
- For that one page, what was the source of those entrances? Was it a link on another site, and that link has been removed?
- If the source was organic search, has you traffic declined over all search engines, or just one search engine?
If we figure out more exactly what the problem is, we can help you get things fixed back up.

Help me to understand why this page doesn't rank
Hello everyone. I am trying to understand why most of my website category pages don't show up in the in the first 50 organic results on Google, despite my high website DA and high PA of those pages. We used to rank high a few years ago, not clear why most of those pages have almost completely disappeared. So, just to take one as an example, please, help me to understand why this page doesn't shows up in the first 50 organic search results for the keyword "cello sheet music": http://www.virtualsheetmusic.com/downloads/Indici/Cello.html I really can't explain why, unless we are under some sort of "penalization" or similar (a curse?!)... I have analyzed any possible metric, and can't find a logical explanation. Looking forward for your thoughts guys! All the best, Fab.

Blocking Certain Site Parameters from Google's Index - Please Help
Hello, So we recently used Google Webmaster Tools in an attempt to block certain parameters on our site from showing up in Google's index. One of our site parameters is essentially for user location and accounts for over 500,000 URLs. This parameter does not change page content in any way, and there is no need for Google to index it. We edited the parameter in GWT to tell Google that it does not change site content and to not index it. However, after two weeks, all of these URLs are still definitely getting indexed. Why? Maybe there's something we're missing here. Perhaps there is another way to do this more effectively. Has anyone else ran into this problem? The path we used to implement this action:
