My apps are disappearing from search results:

This problem is real, please don't make me expend effort proving it to be so.

I believe Nabble are well aware of this, reporting, in a post to Coleen_Astalos, shortly after we lost Pedro from the Support staff, about their change in charges for Premium Support, how their own income had dropped dramatically due to changes in the way Google operated.

With all due respect, I don't accept this. It's not credible unless I'm misunderstanding what you are saying.

I'm a professional SEO. This much I know as fact:

Google strives to index the entire web.  The more complete the index is, the more valuable it is, and the more money they can make.

The home page of my apps, sought after pages, are not in the index:

forum.nyskiblog.com
mag.nyskiblog.com
directory.nyskiblog.com

This is valuable content that is regularly sought out in search engines (or it used to be).

This page:

nabble.com

is in the index. What is the difference? Not embedded? Not a subdomain?

As a pro, I'm actually embarrassed that it took me so long to figure it out.

When did Colleen report this? It seems my traffic started to drop around July 10 of this year.

Understand that if i REMOVE the Wordpress 1/2 of my site from these numbers the drop would be even more dramatic:


Organic Traffic Year over Year
