Hi all
Since the October 23 update, certain pages in my website disappeared from SERPs. It's an ecommerce site playing in a few categories, and the pages that got de-ranked are related to a particular product category. Other categories and pages seem to be fine. As if, Google just topically removed us from playing in a certain niche (which is our main product niche unfortunately)
"keyword" site:domain.com - query brings the most relevant collection page from our site on #1 position. So I have a feeling Google knows that is the strongest page for the keyword.
"keyword" - query brings a few old product pages in page 5+. Main page that ranks #1 on the site: query, is no where to be found.
This pattern is existing for a lot of high traffic collection pages.
Domain is pretty old. High Authority. Been in business 15+ years.
I got a few agency proposals but it was mostly just writing content. We are publishing more howto's and blog content now but the fact that it only happened to a sub section of pages, and frankly those pages have better content than the ones that did not get tanked, I am at a loss on what to do.
My options are, try to work on these pages although there has been no positive movement for 6 months, create a new domain and start a fresh, concentrate on the pages that didnt get tanked?
What would you do? Anyone experienced anything remotely similar?
