Google Webmasters Tool Stop Checking My Sitemaps

Posted by : Dexter Panganiban | ; Filed Under Site Updates

Welcome back! You might want to check my Archives and let me take this opportunity to invite you at my Make Money Online Personal Blog

I am just wondering why Google stops checking my Sitemaps, I mean all sitemaps that was enrolled in Google Webmaster Tools under my Account. The last Google Check in my sitemap was October 21 and the sudden Google Bomb was felt during October 23. Upon checking the Google Webmaster’s Tools, I have seen that Google stops downloading all my Sitemaps , Yup you heard it right all my sitemaps including my other site which is being monitored under my account. Now my question is ? Does including all my site under one Google Webmaster’s Account endangers my other site if one of those site is penalized ? If this is the case I should make a dummy account in all my site, but what about if you have 100 sites. It will be a head ache.

I try Googling this kind of problem but I was not that successful regarding this problem so I am writing about this to know some of your thoughts regarding this matter.

By the way I have send letter to Google today after removing all paid links in this site. Yup I will not do any Paid post links in this site from now on. And If there will be some Advertiser in the future that would like to Advertise on this site a no-follow link will be added. I hope this is clear. I want to retain the site traffic.

I am posting about this as a reference in the future, if in case Google will reconsider sending me visitors again.

Well on the other hand I was also amazed wit yahoo since visitors that it send me now double. For what ever reason well I don’t know.

See my Google Visitors last month

Google Visitors

See my Yahoo Visitors last month

yahoo visitors daily

See my Visitors from referral last month

referring site

See my visitors from Direct Traffic

Direct Traffic

Among the shown stats only the visitors coming from Google is really affecting the site’s traffic. I intentionally not put the numbers , I just want to show you the graph about this site.

Well nobody knows when will Google put back my traffic, all I know is I just complied with all their requirements. It is now up to them to do their part. If I succeed with the latest experiment that I am doing. I will surely share it to you, so that it will be a reminder to all of my readers so not to experience the same faith as I am.

Updates :

My sitemap now has been crawled again and the stats shos that it was crawled 15 hrs ago. That only means it was crawled automatically after I send a reinclusion request.. Is it ? Wait for further development .. A nice start

The drop in Google visitors is really scary. Wah! Anyway, have you tried removing your sitemap from Google webmasters and then adding it again? I don’t know if that will work but I think it’s worth a try.

Naku dex pareho tayo ng prob.. this morning i was thrilled to see my post was indexed in 7 minutes or baka earlier pa if i was late in checking, then this evening, the horror happened. I can’t find my blog “A Lady’s Confessions” in the serp for many keywords.. even my entry to captivating capiz contest which was supposed to be at rank 6 nawala. as in removed in the top 100 or top 1000. I check my webmaster tools account and saw sitemap errors. Google doesn’t accept the atom.xm sitemap i was using.

Am not sure if this is the reason why I lost my SERP. I already remedied the matter by adding the proper sitemap.

I did a template change din pala prior to the SERP drop. Baka it contributed din..

Kainis talaga dex. I was getting 2k visits up pa naman sana everyday..

i think my last post that was indexed by Google was Fallout 3 kasi eto yung lumalabas ngayon sa comment ko..

Oi dex, can you tell me what you did to restore your SERP..thanks a lot ..

As of today I have seen some keywords slowly coming back.. But not those keywords which are really giving big bucks. Well actually what I did is to send to reinclusion request to google and remove those paid post.

I am now starting to do some link building which I hope will help.. Hirap talaga if google gives penalty. Yung mga yahoo visitors matatalino din nagcliclick ng ads

Nadoble kasi yung mga yahoo visitors ko di ko nga alam kung bakit

Yeah Well If I were You will wait for 1 week since the traffic goes down.. Just to make sure that the penalty is there.. By the way did you try to search for site:Sitename in google if your site is still visible in serp

yes it’s still visible dex. i still see around 951 results.. i also want to restore my blog’s old template, because the SERP drop happened after I changed the template..

So that means di sya talaga ban manually tulad ng site ko.. Automated raw kasi yang ibang ban ng Google kaya hintay hintay lang.. Yung sa akin kasi last month pa nag umpisa pakonti knoti hanggang sa totally bumagsak nga yung traffic.. Pero kung ngayo mo lang naranas yan.. wait lang muna

Paid post links do more harm. Like you I’d like to stay away from posts that are “dofollow”-ed.

I’m glad you got everything back to normal.

Hirap talaga kalaban big ‘G’. Meron nga akong naregister na domain dati kaso mukhang ban ata yung domain, kahit isearch ko yung domain walang cache. Nagrequest ako ng reinclusion hanggang nakalimutan ko na yung request ko. Pagkatapos kong irenew yung domain, saka ako nakakita ng traffic mula sa ‘G’. hehehe…

Sabi nga nila, kakampi mo Google, hindi ka kompetensya…kaya…sunod lang.:D
