thanks for your suggestionjj1 wrote:When we moved from a small town to a slightly larger one, I changed the title tag to reflect the new town - and also changed the content, h1 tags etc to reflect the new town.
At that point, our site was 8 months old and we had been no 1 for the previous (smaller) town; however for the next 4 months nothing I did could raise us above no 9 for "website design bury st edmunds" - every change I made, we rose up in the serps for a few hours and then sank back down again. Then after 4 months - at about the time our site became a year old - we suddenly started rising and are now no 1 for our town.
I always believed that Google put some form of "change filter" on our site - although it could possibly have been due to the site becoming a year old. I know I have read elsewhere that major changes to title keywords can result in your site being treated like a new site - presumably to stop people avoiding hte sandbox by taking over old domain names???
Take heart though - filters don't last forever. Also, don't forget that all the links to your site will have anchor text for your old keywords.
Dont worry, continue to do some good SEO for your site. This happens initially if some changes are made to a site. But slowly you can regain the position with constant SEO efforts for the site.thereplicabags wrote:last week, I changed my website's title tag, and now, I couldn't get any traffic from google, Yahoo. what and how can I do now? help me !
