Where is my site Google?
Yesterday I saw that one of my sites that had recently made it to the number one spot was no where to be seen in the Google search engine results pages (SERPS). This wasn’t one of my main earning sites but it made me realise that this could happen to any of my sites and if it were to happen to a big earner I’d be in trouble!
I hadn’t registered any new domains for a while as I had decided to work on my existing sites and try and get them ranking a bit better. But after Google’s treatment of one of my well ranked sites I decided I better get some more sites up and running to try and spread my earnings across multiple sties and therefore spread the risk of losing a site and a revenue stream
I saw down with my girlfriend and we went through some ideas for niches. Coming up with niches is probably my joint weakest area along with getting links. Luckily she came up with a couple of 40k exact match domains and one 60k exact match domain and a few 12k ones. I registered about five domains and got the first site up later that day. A few of these sites are seasonal and will make most of their sales in the summer months so I am working on getting those up and running first. The others should makes sales all year round so I will get those sites up and running after the summer ones are done. Think I will take some time out this weekend and get them all up and running.
If anyone wants to swap any backlinks get in touch.
Is there any chance of seeing any of your sites, or all of them? Most people generally have a list of them on the right handside or somewhere on their blogs?? Would be another link in to your site and also interesting.
Cool blog, keep it up…and good luck on the quest of affiliate riches
I posted a comment on the last entry but it looks like it was lost!
I only have two sites, in the food and drink sector, if you have anything in those markets I’ll link you.
Love this blog, I’d love it more if you were more technical in your posts.
Cheers!

@David, I hate to sound paranoid or precious but I don’t really want to share my sites at the moment. Here is one though: slow cooker which is a site about slow cookers as you can probably guess. It is pretty typical of my sites except most don’t use the ECU and just direct link to the products on one merchant. I don’t have much luck with the ECUs. The slow cooker site isn’t ranked very well at the moment though but still get a few hits each day.
@Gradient, I have a new food equipment site. Do you want to swap?
How do you mean more technical? In what areas?
The site came back for a day in the number one spot but then just like that it was gone again.
This is happening to me now! one of my best sites has vanished lol. However this has happened for my other sites but they came back after a few days, and stronger! strange!
Sorry to hear your best site went. I think I’d cry if my main breadwinner got Google-napped.
One went ages ago and never came back at all. It never made any sales so was no big loss but it’s a bit scary!
This is my site that got sunk by Google and never came back: wales rugby shirt. I was a bit gutted as I made the design and logo myself and thought it looked pretty cool but Google didn’t agree!
Can you see anything wrong with it? Looks ok seo wise to me.
The site is back now and at number one in Google.
Also the Wales rugby shirt site which I linked to in my last comment is back now and on the bottom of page one.
Maybe linking to it from this blog has caused Google to have another look at it? New posts on this blog get indexed pretty quick. In under 1 hour sometimes.
edit: and a few hours later it’s gone again! It hung around long enough to get 10 hits and then it was gone.
