Great advice in this thread but no one mentioned googles EMD(exact match domain) update…Your website name is spammy..it is casinobonusandfreechip(.)com we are talking about right? the site is great, looks great, good content etc…id get a new domain name, something shorter and more brandable..then 301 the name to the new domain..but you said your rankings have recovered, so good for you
Would I not have to move my whole site over to the new domain? Also i rank very high only if you put the
keywords free chip(s). This is because it is in my domain name I thought?
I appreciate the advice any more thoughts on this?Thanks low risk, it was my site, but it has had a rebound. The issue I believe was the changing of my sitemap plugin. Now that I moved WordPress to my root domain I am getting a lot of duplicate content warnings in webmaster tools. Google thinks everything is a copy when it just moved. Everything is redirected…Is there anything else I should do.

What sort of sitemap? sitmap.xml or (sitemap.html etc etc)
EG: books.google.com/sitemap/Sitemap.htmlNever heard of a sitemap plugin being the cause of lost SERPS. Just saying.

How did you redirect it, with a 301?
Have you since deleted the WP installation in the folder it was installed to?Don’t sweat it, Google is probably comparing the old WP location and that content, to the same site that’s now on the root. Don’t touch anything! If the 301 is correct and you’ve deleted the old site located in the WP folder, Google will figure it out soon enough.
I figured it would figure it out eventually, yes I deleted the old installation inducing data. 301 redirects…Google just may take weeks to figure it out is my guess too. I’m trying not to sweat but it’s hard haha.
Since I learned WP doing this (I learned this by reading directions) I had………4 sitemaps! One .xml .xml.gz .html and Sitemap_html.html or something…with 3 plugins pinging Google and Bing. When I realized what was going on (SeO plugins generally have a site map function built in), I deleted the site maps from FTP except one. When I look back the dates due correlate exactly but it could be 1001 things. If it was mistakenly marked as spam then it would not have returned I’m assuming.
Another odd thing happened…one day I looked at my 60 +1’s and booom it was down to 14 and then 12. I made a webmater post on the Google fourms and since they have been returned to me plus a few …. why does the weird sh*t always happen to muffin….
It was likely your first impression Mr. Aussie, “But I dare your initial success has now been squashed due to Google conducting a deep crawl.”
If I were to move it to a new domain name would that help or hurt my SERPs? Am I being punished for a spammy domain name? It has “usa” in the domain name haha. :spam:
Thanks again guys.
P.S. For online casino marketing CAP forums are the best.
