Need Support, Please
Well, for those of you in the SEO/SEM community you are well aware of the recent happenings over at Google. There have been many ideas swirling abound as to the reasons behind what we are seeing. Whatever the case may be and the reasons for them, one thing is for sure. We all need some support right now. As an example, our site here has always enjoyed some decent positioning for some smaller keywords releated to customer service software and help desk software, but nothing major. As we worked to increase our content and links to and from helpful resources, we say steady increases in site traffic from related searches. Then one day a few weeks ago, Google decided to stop sending any traffic here. We went from receiving hundreds of searches a day to zero. We were told that there was a possible duplicate content issue with our site as there were a number of different ways to see the same content by going to http://www.supportsentry.com/ and http://supportsentry.com/ . Now that issue has been resolved and on Friday of last week, we began to receive some limited search traffic from Google. Well, it appears that there is no way to tell why we have received that traffic, which has pretty much ceased again. The new update or whatever you want to call what they are doing has made many people very unhappy. Unfortunately, none of us know why they are doing what they are doing and we will probably never know why. We all just need to pat each other on the back and keep working at our businesses as we were before. Hopefully, our friends at Google will find there way back and return to life as ususal.
