Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi kerry,

Your post gives me some hope. I was hit by Panda in Feb. 2011 and lost 85% of my google traffic Made many changes to my site -- page deletions re-directs added content etc. Got a bump of 25% in September 2011 but lost that and more afterward.

We have an e-commerce gift site with 6000 pages. Is your site an e-commerce site?

I have not found a recovery story from any sites like mine that were hit with that large a drop.

I hope your recovery would relate to my situation.

Here are the stats:

3/2011 unique organic traffic/Google compared to 2/2011?  -47%

2/2011 compared to  01/2011 -7.7%  (2/25/11 compared to 1/25/11   -55% )

1/2012 compared to 1/2011  -65%

8/2012 compared to 8/2011 and to 7/2012 -52%

If it looks like a Panda, walks like a panda....

Robert,

My drop started in Feb. 2011 and is now down 90% from that time period. Our traffic does fluctuate do the type of products we sell -- whether something becomes trendy or not etc.

We changed the site substantiailly deleting half our pages last year and adding content to the ones we kept.

We received no warnings.in webmaster tools but we are trying to get rid of bad links

We had a bump of 25% last september but there has been a steady decline again after panda updates this year.

I am an internet retailer hit by Panda and have made many changes to my site since first being hit on feb 2011. I had a slight recovery last september but have since slipped back again.

I have scoured the internet for panda recoveries for internet retailers like me but I have not seen any.

If anyone knows of recoveries of a site like mine (wackyplanet.com) -- we are on a yahoo store platform I would aappreciate any info as I am looking for an SEO who has experience with Panda as it relates to sites like mine.
