One of my sites suffered a year long penalty for something I am not sure of. It may have been because of dodgy reciprocal links. It would be nice if they gave you hints as to what they don’t like about your site.http://www.addedbytes.com/article/my-site-has-dropped/comments/http://www.addedbytes.com/article/my-site-has-dropped/comments/Comment by Dave Child ( <a href="http://www.addedbytes.com">http://www.addedbytes.com</a> )<br /><br />Hi Peter, <br /> <br />"we index an html page with our game related info" <br /> <br />That's kind of true, but not entirely. What you've actually done is add a whole load of hidden text (generated by software rather than person by the looks of it) to a page which the user is then redirected onwards from. The redirection uses Flash. <br /> <br />Add some actual content on the front page, and link through the flash pages by all means, but don't be surprised when you use hidden text that the search engines dislike it.http://www.addedbytes.com/article/my-site-has-dropped/comments/http://www.addedbytes.com/article/my-site-has-dropped/comments/Comment by Peter Olotka ( <a href="http://www.cosmciencounter.com">http://www.cosmciencounter.com</a> )<br /><br />We are an all Flash gaming site so we index an html page with our game related info. We had seen where Google aproved of using html indexing forwarding to the Flash site whihc they cant index, and have been in the top ten for several years for free online multiplayer games. As of today we are gone from all Google searches - except for Cosmic Encoutner itself. We add new featres all the time and arounf 1500 new users come per day. Any thoughts?http://www.addedbytes.com/article/my-site-has-dropped/comments/http://www.addedbytes.com/article/my-site-has-dropped/comments/Comment by dilvie ( <a href="http://www.makepassword.com/">http://www.makepassword.com/</a> )<br /><br />Excellent post -- a very level-headed response to the problem. I think I'll spam those threads with this link from now on. ;)http://www.addedbytes.com/article/my-site-has-dropped/comments/http://www.addedbytes.com/article/my-site-has-dropped/comments/Comment by Abhilash ( <a href="http://www.abhilash.us">http://www.abhilash.us</a> )<br /><br />JD, what advice would you give someone who's battling it out with this "supplemental club" situation? google seems to have dumped many sites that were once considered authorities... is there anything you can think of that can be done?http://www.addedbytes.com/article/my-site-has-dropped/comments/http://www.addedbytes.com/article/my-site-has-dropped/comments/Comment by Steven Gratis ( <a href="http://www.flirtinserat.de">http://www.flirtinserat.de</a> )<br /><br />this drop in the search engines unfortunately happened to one of my sites. not a funny thing. all that traffic gone!
