Website gone from SERPs - please help to understand why
-
Dear SeoMozers,
My website www.buy-hosting.net ist around for about 6 months. It performed quiet well the first months and for the main keyword "Buy Hosting" it went continously better, until #7 in SERPS of Google. Then, some days ago, it suddenly disappeared and traffic went down to nearly zero. It is not even in the Top 100 for "buy hosting" anymore.
Can anyone please advice me, what could be the reason for that and what I could do about it? I'am desperate, beacuse I worked about 8 months nearly 100% of my time on that project...
Thank you and kind regards

Have you checked webmaster tools for any messages? You still have 200+ pages indexed.
I wouldn't discount the content. There maybe something that Google doesn't like about it. I do see a few misspellings on the home page (prooves) and cutoff words (if they don't make a cus...). When I found you in Google, this is what Google is serving me up for a description: "All mentioned trademarks are property of their respective owners. By using this site, you are agreeing to the Terms of Use ..."
Plus side is you're still ranking well in Bing.

I can exclude malware, hidden text and infringing content.
How can I check out for devalued links?
Where can I read about the specifics of the Panda Update?
Thank you

These are common reasons why sites disappear from the SERPs.
I didn't look at the site. Looking at a site for these types of problems is risky takes a large amount of time.

Dear EGOL,
is this speculation, did you have a real look at the site, the metrics? Would you please tell me, why you think that?
Kind regards
Michael

Hi,
all contents are 100% unique and self-made by me personally. This can not be the reason.
Other ideas?
-
I agree with EGOL regarding the content, are you sure all your content is unique and not on any other sites?
Maybe part of the Panda updates?
-
It could be... malware... hidden text... infringing content... Panda.... a variety of other things... but most likely it is devalued links.

Google cache from my website give another website
Hello, Some time ago, I already asked a question here because my homepage disappeared from Google for our main keyword. One of the problems that we showing up was the Google cache. If you look to the cache of the website www.conseilfleursdebach.fr, you see that it show the content of www.lesfleursdebach.be. It's both our website, but one is focus on France and the other one on Belgium. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Awww.conseilfleursdebach.fr&oq=cach&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57j0j69i60j0l2.1374j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Before, there were flags on the page to go to the other country, but in the meantime I removed all links from the .fr to the .be and opposite. This is ongoing since January. Who has an idea of what can cause this and most of all, what do do? Kind regards, Tine

Canonical Help (this is a nightmare)
Hi, We're new to SEO and trying to fix our domain canonical issue. A while back we were misusing the "link canonical" tag such that Google was tracking params (e.g. session ids, tagging ) all as different unique urls. This created a nightmare as now Google thinks there's millions of pages associated with our domain when the reality is really a couple thousand unique links. Since then, we've tried to fix this by: 1) specifying params to ignore via SEO webmasters 2) properly using the canonical tag. However, I'm still recognizing there's a bunch of outsanding search results that resulted from this mess. Any idea on expectation on when we'd see this cleaned up? I'm also recognizing that google is looking at http://domain.com and https://domain.com as 2 different pages even though we specify to only look at "http://domain.com" via the link canonical tag. Again, is this just a matter of waiting for Google to update its results? We submitted a site map but it seems like it's taking forever for the results of our site to clear up... Any help or insight would greatly be appreciated!
