How to diagnose a search engine ranking drop?

Closed 2 years ago.

we have countered a seriously weird problem. 3 of our very most popular search results went invisible. This means, that they still show avg. position, they still get impressions. But they don't get clicks / traffic.

Its been 5 days since it happened. There is no messages in regards to those pages or manual actions (delay of up to 3 days). Absolutely everything is green. And the live testing tool is green as well. There has been no DMCAS (dmca has delay of 2-4 days).

With all the years we have been doing business, we have encountered all possible situations with google. But this is something unique. The results are simply put invisible and other content from our site wont pop up, as it gets labeled as "irrelevant" as the main URL is there (but invisible.)

Is there some sort of a algorithm that detects X anomyalies and makes specific results into invisible until manual review by a googler?

Solution :

There can be possibly four reasons for this issue;

1. The site is too new and Google hasn’t had the chance to crawl it yet.


2. The site content is hidden from search engines .


3. The site content isn’t optimized for search engines.


4. The target keyword market is too competitive.


5. The site has been penalized by Google.

Have you click bomb your links or someone else?

As you said that you see the avg position and impression for the page, than this might be manual penalty. Wait for Google's answer or hit the google webmaster forum. In case of manual penalty, it will take time to make effect on SERP.

If the issue about google-search, , , is resolved, there’s a good chance that your content will get indexed and you’ll start to show up in Google search results. This means a greater chance to drive organic search traffic to your site.
