Google sent all articles on my homepage to supplemental

[sean22]

My web host recently (past weekend) moved my domain to a new server with new ip address. I discussed this in the Webmaster General Forum in WebmasterWorld.

My problem now seems to be 100% Google related and I am seeing something that i haven't read about nor seen before.

All my articles on page 1 (10) have been sent to supplemental. Google loved them only a week ago. I added another article yesterday and two more today and they have been indexed within hours but also sent to supplemental.

My homepage ranking has also been dropped from page 4 to 6 if this might help diagnosis matters.

Simply put, Google sent All my articles from May 4th to supplemental.

Hello,

I added another article and that too was indexed but sent to supplemental. Google has actually been frivolously indexing my site past couple of days, similar to the way it did when I initially launched my site.

My main keyword dropped from page 4 to 6 and now it is on page 13. My prized secondary keywords that were on the top of page 1 have now dropped to the bottom of page 1.

It's just getting worse and worse.

Please any insight to stop the bleeding would be appreciated.

What do you mean by supplemental here.
Are the article pages coming in site: and not in exact phrase searches?
Were they ranking before?

[sean22]

When I type – site:domain.com - the individual articles/pages are listed but they do not appear in search anymore.

Yes they were ranking before and were doing very well. The new articles that I submit are also indexed (appear in site:domain.com ) but they too don't appear in search.

I'd give it a week or two. A server and IP change puts you back in the sandbox. Looks like a "new" site to the algo(s). We do live in a fast world, but it is not THAT fast!

okay tangor, I'll let you guys know when I come out of the dreaded sandbox, hopefully the timeline will be beneficial to someone else facing the problem.

Get some inbound links to some of the inner pages and see what happens to the search listing

[sean22]

I am seeing a new development one of my keywords is going back and forth(yo-yo) from the bottom of page 1 to page 3 (exact spots). I thought the intervals were every 30 minutes but now it seems as low as 5 minutes, maybe even less.

This particular keyword has never made it to the 1st page of Google before, it is competitive, the page is optimized, including internal links but it's not linked to from outside the domain.

Could I be suffering from the sandbox + some sort of filter or penalty?

Also could I be making matters worse by repeatedly checking the SERPs for the same Keyword, manually of course?

Tangor,

Your assessment was correct, my pages are back in serps, to basically where they were before the swap. They don't seem to be as effective as they were before though. They are not giving me the type of traffic I enjoyed before. I checked different Google (uk/es/de/ca/etc) and they are on page 1 as well. It's rather depressing.
