I'm experiencing some problems with my site. As of a while my pages disappeared from the Google SERPs; they stillare in the index but they seem lost their ranking.
As I fairly optimized my site, I would exclude any penalty issue except for a situation: I noticed in late,that my canonical domain settings was wrong;my site came up for www and non-www searches; so I fixed that. At the present it should be still in process, I guess...
Maybe G found pages under both domains and penalized me for duplicate content by resetting my PR to 0...
Anyway how could I resolve that situation?
Would it be sufficient to wait?
Should I buy a new domain name?
And in that case, better a brand new one or a parked one?
Thanks for any useful indication.
Sincerely
TBPR is solely a function of incoming links to a url
An actually, the TBPR assigned to the domain homepage appears to be tied to
www.example.com/
or
example.com/
changing your domain, might be a bad idea, instead
Have you done a 301 redirect to your preferred option from above?
And have you used the web masters account settings to select your prefferred domain?
And did your visible toolbar PR drop to zero, visibly recently?
If so, consider that there might be a PR export going on
Have you lost some really influential links recently?
All guess work, but getting a new domain name for this is extreme
...I 301'ed by .htaccess,not using webmaster account.
I didn't loose any link.
My pages was poor in backlinks as of their birth, but until the last week they went fine getting higher rankings in SERPS.
I would wait the completation of the process if related to the canonical issue, but I absolutely have no idea about how many time it would take and so risking to lose precious time to make instead effective upgrades...
