| How, how, how a Google News site get no,no,no Google Com Traffic | Philbutler | 7/25/12 11:10 PM | My Google Friends, This one has me and about 50 expert pals stumped. I will try to be brief. About the time Panda came out, our Everything PR News was de-indexed from Google News (Not Google blogs etc.) Some typing, deciphering, and sacrificial lam |
| How, how, how a Google News site get no,no,no Google Com Traffic | cristina | 7/26/12 2:00 AM | Do you have news specific errors in Google Webmaster Tools? http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=93994 |
| Re: How, how, how a Google News site get no,no,no Google Com Traffic | Philbutler | 7/26/12 3:42 AM | No Cristina, no errors. We have been in Google News a long time. When we got de-indexed back when Panda went live, the Google Com traffic never caught back up. It appears that a great many of our pages got pushed down so far, past even SPAM sites, t |
| Re: How, how, how a Google News site get no,no,no Google Com Traffic | Philbutler | 7/26/12 4:15 AM | Update here. I guessed at some past articles having been de-indexed, but in point of fact, they are still in the indexes. They are just pushed back so far as to make them irrelevant now. More later, sorry about my miscue there. |

| Re: How, how, how a Google News site get no,no,no Google Com Traffic | Philbutler | 7/26/12 8:38 AM | Thanks a lot luzie. It is always helpful when people do kind comparatives. Did it ever occur that the chicken may have laid the egg first? It looks like Panda's secret problem is that Google hired sure fire quick deciders, just-like-you. A site Goog |
| Re: How, how, how a Google News site get no,no,no Google Com Traffic | luzie | 7/26/12 9:08 AM | Yes, sure. A news site is not supposed to behave like a weather forecasting site, though ... http://www.pamil-visions.net/katarina-witt-playboy-images-surface-again/212110/ <<< If this was your flagship of a top-ten ranking of your site, Google hav |
| Re: How, how, how a Google News site get no,no,no Google Com Traffic | Philbutler | 7/27/12 12:31 AM | There are 4,000 posts on the site luzie. I used that one just at random as one that was on the first page in the SERPs. There are hundreds of them. You are arguing to be arguing. Try proving me correct. The problem with EPR is not that articles are t |

| Re: How, how, how a Google News site get no,no,no Google Com Traffic | Philbutler | 7/27/12 5:39 AM | You are winning the "I will argue until the sheep come home" contest. You dug deeper into Katarina Witt Playboy and failed to notice a lot. Okay. Now, what would you say if I showed 20 PR and marketing sites, some with names like MommyMarketingMaven, |
| Re: How, how, how a Google News site get no,no,no Google Com Traffic | Grandmaster Flash | 7/27/12 8:18 AM | Luzie's Katarina Witt reference caught my eye:) Objective observation - I'm a user looking for your site and land on the home page. The very first think I look form is a search box, finding none perhaps I bounce. You DO want people to come in from yo |
| Re: How, how, how a Google News site get no,no,no Google Com Traffic | Philbutler | 7/27/12 9:05 AM | Point very well taken Master. This has always bothered me too. Better than TechCrunch because of clutter perhaps, worse than many as you suggest. Looking at this. TY, But in my view, not exactly a reason to dump PR and Marketing content, down to the |
| Re: How, how, how a Google News site get no,no,no Google Com Traffic | luzie | 7/27/12 1:12 PM | Where else to dump it? Look, there's exactly TEN result slots on SERP One ... "Katarina Witt" as an exact match query (search using quotation marks) yields 1.2 million results - now try to decide which of the million to show on the first page ... you |
| Re: How, how, how a Google News site get no,no,no Google Com Traffic | Philbutler | 7/28/12 4:43 AM | Now we will blame Google's monumental task of ranking content? So you are suggesting that Google just can't figure out what to do, and let's just live with what happens? Not sure I am following here. I can see no ranking "favor" in most of the resul |
