Any Ideas What Could Have Happened?
Any ideas what could have happened?
I've been working on my seo for a few months. Almost immediately I went from the total google abyss to at least being the second hit if I searched for my company name w/o a location (there are about a dozen Cottonwood Builders in the U.S.) and the first hit if I added location. within a few weeks I was finding myself on about the 5th to 10th pages for several searches and then I started showing up on the second to third page for a couple of searches and was occasionally even hitting the first page . It was never real consistent. I could hit the 2nd or 3rd page for a given search one day and the next day be on the 6th page. But everything seemed to be moving in the right direction. Then I seemed to be consistently on the 2nd page for 1 search: "remodeling las cruces, nm" this went on for like 2 weeks. then 1 day I wasn't showing up in the first 10 pages . I searched by Co. name. My home page didn't show up at all , some of my other pages showed up further down. Some fragments of my old website are apparently still up from my old ISP and those pages can be found on google. All of my pages except my home page can be found if I tailor the search right and look several pages in, but google will not find my home page at all, period . I haven't hooked up with any link farms, haven't used any shady seo guys, I've just been building a few links and tuning and adding a little content.I've registered on a bunch of internet yellow page type sites like yellowpages.com and have gotten a few jobs that way. They have all had their sales people calling wanting to sell me a premium listing or PPC or SEO. One in particular, Super Pages has been particularly aggressive. I told the salesman I am working on my SEO any might be interested in PPC in the future but not right now. About 2 days later my free listing disappeared off superpages and all of their subsidiaries. I called the salesman and he said it was a "glitch" and they would fix it and pitched PPC/SEO real hard again, I still said no. The next day I was back on superpages etc. That was the same day my home page vanished from google! I assume this is a coincidence, but it makes me wonder. Could superpages have somehow screwed me with google to "encourage" me to use their PPC or SEO? The salesman was bragging about how they do millions of dollars of business per month with google. weird! Again it's only the home page that has vanished from google. My website is www.cottonwoodbuilders.com Any Ideas? |
