less visitors from google?

[Free WordPress Themes]

Hello,

It looks to me that google changed a lot in their index, why? It's just a first idea:
 I noticed that listings completly disappeared for sites like this
http://php--scripting-resource-search-swicki.eurekster.com/

and my own site is getting 30 % less visitors then normal

and at last (it's about webmaster related sites)
according the Alexa "reach" value a lot of websites are visited not so often as normal the last days.

Do you have the same results for your website?

I think this site has some lower se results lately, but I didn't think of that.

Do you think that Google is trying to get rid of webmaster related sites?

BTW I've also noticed that it takes a lot of time to index new parts of this site, in conjuction with my other sites who indexed in about 3-10 days.

Very strange.

hehe, no its not only about webmaster related websites, I have these kind of sites on my monitor devshed, mozilla, hotscripts etc.)

I don't think there is a structure, on the other hand my template site is has growing visitor counts

about the indexing of your new pages, do you use a google sitemap?

I've added the archive to the sitemap before two or three weeks to the sitemap, and even that google crawls the site every day (and downloads the sitemap twice every day), the archive hasn't been indexed yet.

I think they should have a general problem or something. I have seen same attitude before from Google.

yes,  this is google sitemap: downloads a sitemap several times without doing somthing

But this can be true, that google is changing somthing and that this is the reason for problems with several websites.

Another strange behaviour that I see from Google is that the last week, it comes to the site and crawls the home page several times (actually it is doing this right now)

I guess that this is to find out how often the site is updated, but it is strange that is happening only in the home page.

Hi Gents,

I have a content rich html based front end for my community which i would have hoped would help to attract Google and PR. I specifically made it to W3C standards to help search engines hit the front pages and delve into the forums. I run SMF 1.1RC2 with SEO friendly urls and a proper sitemap that's verified on Google Sitemaps.

As the site is very niche i am running an Adwords campaign with focussed keywords for very cheap (I'm the only one ) and getting 25% CTRs (Wooo! - even on my measily Adsense return i'm covering costs atm)

My traffic is increasing exponentially as new members join yet Google gives me no love on the pagerank. Heck, i've even managed to get linked on a few sites although unfortunately for me they aren't very web savvy so i'm not sure whether my affiliate links aren't giving me any love.

Kinda of got wrapped up in my own ranting... sorry 

What i was wondering was how come google takes so long between actually updating their content on their servers?... Even though google is hitting my website regularly... it's doesn't seem to update the cache very often...

Any thoughts on my lack of achieving a PR?

Cheers,
Miyagi

Well Miyagi, first of all welcome aboard

About your issue, first of all congratulations about your CTRs. That's a really difficult achievement, and it can make a site success even without any other source of traffic except cpc.

About the pr, don't mind it is not that important. It is important to have some inbound links from high pr pages, to get your site indexed faster. BTW you can use the forum's shop to get one

In general I would advice you to search for relevant links. By relevant I mean from sites that have the same or relative topic with yours. Sitemap is not a big thing and actually I haven't seen any change to sites that I made one (including this)

Just have patience. If there is one word that can not describe google is speed
And that's an issue that all new sites have. As the time passes and you get more incoming links, you will be indexed faster.
