Googel and the sudden drop of traffic

Google!!! Why have you abandoned my blog? Why are not sending visitors anymore? What have I done to you?!

Now, you must be thinking that I’m crazy shouting at a search engine but I’d like to share with you something that happened on June 12 (google traffic dropped on June 12). My traffic suddenly dropped nearly to half! Googel and the sudden drop of traffic google traffic loss 300x40

Statistics on the Googel Traffic Drop / Google Traffic Drop

Here are more evidences of the Googol Traffic Drop.

Do you see that? Do you see my traffic that looks like a mountain turn into a flat plain in just one day?

For June, Google Traffic is 14% while Yahoo Traffic is 55%. While in May, Google Traffic was 31.20% while Yahoo Traffic was 39.80%. It has really been a big shift in the balance of traffic between these two search engines.

Possible Reasons I’ve thought of since the drop

At first, I thought that it was because I was not blogging and writing as much that is why my traffic dropped. So I said to myself, ok, this is just a reminder from Googel that I should write some more so I started writing again but my traffic is still not back to where it used to be. Although I’ve seen some improvements but it is still not enough. I want to be back to where my traffic used to be.

Another reason I’ve thought of is that I got penalized by big momma Googol for having peyd posts. Well, guilty as charged but it has been a while since my last peyd post. (I’m guilty of writing a few of them earlier today as I missed writing them). But it is not the first time for me to do stuffs like this and I’ve already been punished by receiving an EGG ( 0 ) for my page rank. Isn’t that enough already? Does Gogle have to make your blogging life miserable just for that ? I don’t think so.

It’s happening to everybody!

So I did more research about it using Googel Search and found out that I was not alone. Many people have been hit by this weird Google algo tweak that some even lost 90% of their traffic (count me in there). I wonder what is happening.

How about you ? Have you noticed a massive drop in your search engine traffic from Google? Please share your experiences whether you have or did not have. Thank you. Googel and the sudden drop of traffic icon smile

Btw, you might find a lot of typos for the word Google, I did it on purpose. ^_^

  1. @Elizar Palad – Does the Google Sandbox really exist? Because it seems that there has been another change in Google Algo last month and it affected a lot of blogs too. I still hope to climb back to my old rankings.. It makes me lose my motivation seeing my blog ignored like this. hehe

  2. 90% of my traffic source was from Google and now it’s completely gone :P Even if I search for my complete name wala na :D Pero it’s ok, I have tons of p*** post… That’s why :)

    I implemented my plan B to “STILL” get traffic from Google even if it’s penalized :) and.. it works :)

    Btw, our PRCBER blog was also penalized for 3 months, but after filing a reinclusion request, http://www.prcboardexamresults.com was now back on the SERPs! yay!

  3. What is odd is that my page rank went from 4 to 0 when this Algo ran. For a few days, I was gone from the top 1000 in three keywords I have been working on.

    When I looked three days ago, I am not only back, but flying up the charts again. Still have the bad PR, but at least I can get back to the top of the searches.

  4. @Jehz hey man! please share your plan B. LoLz. I need google traffic haha

  5. @Karl Goldfield – Wow! That is looking good. I’m now checking my stats at the moment, and I see something good! ^_^

  6. Very interesting. It would be very nice if you could test this. I know you probably dont wann risk too much. But it would be funny to see what happens if you reactivate these comments from time to time… Thanks for sharing
