Why disabling it anyway. I mean if it made u 15k$ in 3 months?
Was it a bad plugin or what?![]()
wait for few days and it will come to normal ranking if that changes are the only reason. Because tag clouds are leaking the link juice. That happen to me and i removed the tag cloud and site came to previous position. Hope it will come back soon.
It is the Search Terms 2 plugin.
Do this:
1. "Save popular search terms as post tags" - Select NO
2. "Convert search terms into links to search page". - Select NO
All the other features are save, and not contradictory to Google Panda Update.
In addition, to eliminate those pages from Google Index, you can add the following code into your site robots.txt file ( you can find it in the public_html folder ).
User-agent: *
Allow: /
Disallow: /search/
Disallow: /tags/
Hope this helps![]()
