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. |

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. |

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. |

Just try to remember that Google ain't the only game in town. Getting shit canned by them hurts, but it ain't personal, and it ain't the end of the world. Back when I only had one main adult site I got totally dropped from Google for nearly a year - it hurt a bit financially, but not as bad as you would have thought. I'm still here, I'm still in the game.
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. |

You can now put whatever you want in this space :)

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.. |

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. |

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 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? |

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

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.
