Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello

Today i notice that our site did not auto changed from without www to with, when i checked the .htaccess file i notice # in-front of each line and i know we did not insert it in there, after i removed it it worked fine.

The only changes that we did recently was to a mobile version to the site but the call to autodirect is in a JS and not in the .htaccess,

could it be the server..? is there any way that anything else might cause this...?

The site is HTML and WP could it be because of that...?

Thank's

Simo

Hello everyone

I have 2 issues to share:

1)  We have a site (personal-loans.org), In the past few weeks we notice that there are sites that have links to our site and we get traffic from them but...!  when you go online to these sites they show you that all they do is provide "google search" results, because we where in first page on the results we had hits there as well what leads me to think that this is the reason we are at page 7 now after yesterday the ranking was at page 4.

these are some of these sites so you can see it:

internetpayadvances.com  fastlivecashadvance.com  assistancemoney.com

scoutcashnow.com   officialpayday.net

Does anyone else got to see anything like that...???

I have many more links like that, these are only 5 out of 9 that had hits yesterday only, site traffic went from 250-300 to 63 a day...

2. For the same site -  it was on google search results 1st page and ranked 4-7, even after the big penguin changes.

What we did notice is that A LOT of non related sites like surfing (yes ocean surfing) and sites that had no content AT ALL - all the text was inside of an image and ranked 3! 3rd on payday loans search result. (and the rest was and still just looks the same with different content...)

Google say they want quality but does not do homework for the 2nd largest search for keywords such as loans and payday loans market, same goes for the cash advance.

Please help, need your advice....

Thanks
