I have a very new site, http://www.sportsfieldsusa.com, that Google began indexing on or about 5-26-2013. Webmaster Tools now shows that Google has indexed more than 4,600 pages out of more than 5,100 pages currently on the site. So far so good, at least in my mind. However, 4 days ago, Search Queries in Webmaster Tools fell from an average of 700-800 per day, with a few peaks of more than 1,000 per day, to 10! Certainly this cannot be good...and I assume that it has to be in response to something that I have done wrong recently.
-- Since I am actually developing the code for the site, I keep notes on what I changed and when. I deploy code updates to the site almost daily, but what I don't know is what day did I seemingly "offend" Google? Can I assume that the day of the drop is the day that some change I made caused the issue? Or is there likely a delay from Google that I have to account for? Google is still indexing the site as Webmaster Tools continues to show pages being added to the index. Until 4 days ago, the site was showing gradual but steady progress, now my only traffic is from AdWords or directs. Webmaster Tools currently shows 92 duplicate meta descriptions and 4 duplicate title tags. I resolved all of these yesterday morning. Were these the likely cause?
Any ideas on where I might start looking for issues would be appreciated. Criticisms are certainly welcome, whatever it takes, I just want to get the site back on track.
Regards,
Bruce
