So here is the thing I have (had) a website that was ranking number 1 and number 2 for very high searched low competition keywords. I did the SEO by my self with own private PBN and premium content.
Usually my sites are ranked for a year or two before they begin to drop, but something like this never happened before.
Yesterday I changed the offer on the page and changed it back again when I saw tht the offer didn't convert but then this morning the site is gone from all 23 keywords that was ranking.
I checked the links all of them are live, the website hasn't been spammed and funny thing is it's not completely gone from Google I still have 130 indexed pages and the site still shows when I google the name but all the keywords are gone.
Also I get no messages or warnings from the search console.
Any ideas?
A new update rolled out.. where u blocking bots via htacess? Also did you cloak?
Check to see that your PBN is stile indexed and not hammered by G, site:www.pbnsite.com <-- check if indexed
Also, it might be a google dance so wait a week or sometimes 2.
Good luck
Be careful when linking to an offer on a shared domain, use a self-hosted link redirect that sends all bots (via UA checking) to a safe page on site. That said - it could be any number of things with SEO...
Did the issue resolve itself?
I don't think changing the link was the cause. Have you updated the post/page time by any chance when you changed the link (if using WordPress)?
Are the majority of your PBN links sitewide links?
Tough one. There's maybe 10 people in the world who know the entire algoritm how google ranks its organic search results so its always a trial-and-error strategy you have to work with in order to figure out why you go up/down in google.
Check to see if your PBNs are still indexed, as well as your money site by doing a google search like so "site
bnsite.com" or "site:moneysite.com" and if nothing shows up them that site is de indexed. If your PBN is penalized, then just trash it because it could pass on a penalty to your money site...
