Well, This Is Depressing (aka Google Analytics for SE Traffic to LOR)
 ...and before anyone asks, no, I have no idea what I did or didn't do on March 7th to cause this  Hell, I thought, if anything, I was making my site more SE friendly, as well as more user friendly  |

I think they might have at last realised that LOR is a link list (they do not like link lists - you are the competition).
Or it could possibly be that they see the links you post in the "What Are You Working On" thread as "using the boards to spam links" and have penalised you for this. |

If your stats program for this board identifies Googlebot hits (by IP) then look see if it was sniffing around the board just before LOR got demoted. |

P.S. I'm currently working on a website that explains basic SEO for newbies, when it is ready I'll give you the link if you like!

P.P.S. I'm also working on a book on the same subject. When that is ready, I'll try to sell you a copy of that too.

I just searched "greenguy" in google & stopped after not seeing my site in the 1st 20 pages. I honestly can not remember not being #1

FUCK!
 I don't think "greenguy" is a "dirty" word in Google's eyes anymore. The suggestions in the dropdown used to always stop once you hit the 2nd "g" but now, it's giving suggestions, even with a space & certain letters after it:"greenguy r" gives you some "greenguy l" gives you nothing (because of Greenguy Links I assume) This hurts. 3-4 months of work on the site trying to get "back in the game" and I get fucking slapped with this?! Just fuck me. |

All you can do is try to win via Google, if you can't then remember traffic comes from other sources too. Just remember one of my favourite movie quotes, from one of my favourite movies (Broken Arrow) and apply it to Google: Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. |

greenguy a - adult greenguy j - jenkins greenguy l - links greenguy m - marketing greenguy o - o rama greenguy p - porn greenguy s - sex greenguy x - xxx It just sucks because I didn't do anything to deserve this. It's like being given a gift that you didn't ask for, but you love dearly & are very thankful for receiving, only to have it taken away for no real reason. I don't want to come off as arrogant, but I truly believe I am the reason the word/nickname Greenguy is a "thing" (for lack of a better word) When I started in 1996, it was just the name of a public domain image on a free host that I liked & decided to use. Google is the one that decided it was a "dirty word" based on, I assume, my site being titled "Greenguy Link O'Rama". It wasn't until recently (last few years) that anything other than porn came up when you searched it. Now, there's recycling companies, games, whatever. It's like you decided to name your company Persian Kitty's Carpet Warehouse. I get fucked after 18+ years because mainstream companies decided to use the name I made popular??? And yes, I have kicked myself in the ass for years for registering link-o-rama.com instead of greenguy.com - it hurts even more so now because this might not be happening if I registered it (there's a story/reason why I bought LOR if anyone really wants to hear it). I almost had greenguy.com in the early 2000's for $10k & all my ARS Reward points from there on out, but the guy backed out of the deal. It feels like I've been robbed on my online identity & believe me when I say, the feeling is fucking horrendous. |

My site/page was still called Greenguy Link O'Rama & while I was out surfing & trading links, we got a trade request from a site called Kara's Link O'Rama. We emailed them, asked them to change the name, got into a HUGE fight with them & Joe's solution was to register link-o-rama.com in my name (he even made up a company name to make it look more legit: Greenguy Marketing) Thus, my 1st domain became link-o-rama.com BTW: The Kara that was running the other site was the same person that was working with RB & Max Cash & owned/ran their flagship paysite Kara's Adult Playground. Needless to say, RB & I had a very rocky relationship, even though I promoted Max Cash & got to become very good friends with the staff over there, especially Alyssa. PS - Domains were not cheap back then. Network Solutions charged $100/year to register one (although, you didn't have to pay right away - you had a couple weeks to try out the domain before you bought it, which made it really easy to buy a domain name that you thought might get type in traffic & give it a spin lol) Anyway, I had already become good friends with Al4a & Ampland, who had also recently been kicked off their free host (concentric.net oddly enough) & bought their 1st domains. A couple years later, Amp told me that they were on the phone talking about me buying link-o-rama.com & joked that they should by greenguy.com & then sell it to me for $102 - and WOW do I wish they had done that! I've got a Greenguy Trademark story, too, if anyone wants to hear that |

(Well I was for a brief time, but being shut down by freehosts for no reasons, discovering people fucked you over / did not really own what they claimed to own, resulting in angry emails, I chose to go for a bachelor in Multimedia instead. I picked up this shit in 2011 needing to do something in my then new health-situation. What's the moral of this short story? I DO remember Greenguy from back then So it's a strong brand.)J lly |

I find with now Google, you pretty much have to put "porn" or "xxx" with a search to get smut. They do know what a "bukkake gangbang" is though. No additional words needed for that one. Last edited by ArtWilliams; 2015-03-23 at 09:29 AM.. |

OK, just a thought... Could this simply be a tracking issue? Could you have inadvertently changed something within the analytics code that broke it?

 I doubt it, but I will check the code I'm using against what's in Analytics after I post. |

I applied to work as a Google Link Evaluator. Didn't get the job, but did learn a lot.
I was surprised that Google put a lot of weight on your 404 page. This page sums up what Google is looking for these days. Can You Optimize for Google’s Search Quality Raters? |

On the bright side
searching "greenguy links" still give me the extra links (I forget what they're called...sitelinks?) So my site is still "important" just not my name. |

Well I've been getting a lot of Google messages recently in Webmaster Tools about my sites not being mobile friendly and dropped from mobile search results. Seems new.
