Last Words

After much deliberation, I have decided to retire HollyMannia and move on.

Until our crazy paths cross again...

Greed Does Not Pay

So my fears came true. Yesterday, one of the nightmares of website owners/webmasters happened to me. Google dropped my site from the ranks. Actually, I could not find it in the second page or the third or the fourth nor the 20th page. It just suddenly disappeared from Rank No. 2 to nowhere.

Since this is my most profitable site, my cashflow just dropped, too. So I thought it over and over again asking myself why. Then, I found my answer. Greed.

I became greedy right away thinking how easy it was. So, I duplicated my website, not twice but thrice. Actually, I deleted the fourth one because it was redundant. But now, all three sites are not making it to the Google index. I know that Google penalizes sites with similar content and evidently it did mine. What a bummer. And in the middle of traffic rushing in, just streaming, with me making an average of three sales a day. This is really a nightmare.

I'm trying to repair the pieces of this mistake. I don't know if I have to delete the first site and let the two others climb the index. I don't just know. I don't know what to do. I'm at loss here.
