Lost rankings, Penalized?

comancsmcomancsm
in GSA Search Engine Ranker
Hello

 One of my sites that was built with gsa alone was ranking on the first page on 4 and 5 for competitive terms. Today it ranks on 145 and 160 and the traffic went from 30k daily to 500. Could this be a dance?

The site was initially a blogspot subdomain and i did a header redirect to my own domain about 2 weeks ago. I did no changes to the GSA campaign or site content since the redirect.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

    Maybe the redirect itself has caused this.

    @comancsm - What in the world is a 'header redirect'? I've never heard of that expression. Is this a php trick?

    @ron I think he does this mean:

    <?php
    header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
    header("Location: http://www.domain-B.de/");
    header("Connection: close");
    ?>

    @magix
    header("Location: http://www.domain-B.de/");
    this has to be first line , or above code might not work .

  • comancsmcomancsm
    @ron yes header("Location: http://www.domain-B.de/");

    This is the only way i could redirect a blogspot to my own domain. I have 2 other sites that have redirect like this and they are ok.  I'm thinking i built too many links? But i did no modifications to the campaign. It has been running with 200 verified / day for 2 months. Also, what would you call a safe anchor text ratio? under 10% for primary keyword is ok?

    I think yesterday something happened in serps . Its not only your website , I think is more general thing :) Build again and restart !
  • comancsmcomancsm
    theguruland  so you think that there was an algo change and that this site will not recover? Even if i keep building links to it?

    Regards

    I think in the past week they changed something yes ( you can read about this on forums around ) . About recovery : I do not waste time with that , I just build another site and start again. I do not bother about rebuilding. there are mixed experiences about rebuilding and Im not sure I want to spend time with a website that have more or less 1% chances to come back . I hope I helped you

    Does redirecting blogspots pass the juice to your money site and your money site eventually rank?

    So @doncorleone, @comancsm - should the code look like this (see below), when placed in the blog header ? Haven't tried such method, want to give it a go.

    Location:
    <?php
    header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
    header("Location: http://www.domain-B.de/");
    header("Connection: close");
    ?>
  • comancsmcomancsm
    It's like this: header("Location: http://www.domain-B.de/");

    Just google php header redirect. However, i opened this thread because the site is not ranking anymore after a short period of time. So, this doesn;t work. Or i did it wrong. You can try it yourself, and maybe let me know of the outcome.

    Was the blogspot ranking or your money site?
  • comancsmcomancsm
    The blogspot and after the redirect the money site

    yes, a redirect will pass juice unless it is nofollowed

    But isn't blogspot 302 redirect and not 301? Check this article: http://www.hochmanconsultants.com/articles/301-versus-302.shtml

    One of mine blogspot redirects in Majestic:
