When my domain didn't even rank for its own name. Do you see your domains ranking at all?

They were not even ranking for their own domain name so it was the usual -50 box. I checked all of them and not a single site was ranking for their domain name.

hi @crobb305 and @SEOPTI,

Something changed on Friday, my site is actually on top now for my site domain name. It is not behind my twitter page.

I made the following changes

1. Removed G adsense
2. Removed G Analytics
3. Removed most of the thin pages
4. noindex/follow many thin pages
6. Added 80% images, 20% videos

Right now I have only quality content pages with more than 500 keywords. I gained around 15-20% last couple of weeks, but today lost another 20%.

One thing I did not do is site design, I heard that dark colors on top (example: hubpages) may cause some issues. I know it is weird, but we are talking about G search algo, it is already effed up, so may need to play to their rules including design and colors or just play the waiting game.
