As the day moves, my old articles are getting removed.

Please help.

    my old articles are removed from the Google index

    What do you mean exactly? Are they (1) really no longer in the in the index when you type "site:URL-OF-POST" in Google or (2) do they just not show up in searches? Google does NOT do (1), and as far as (2) goes I'm not sure what you can do. Google simply likes fresh content better than old content. That said, do you link your new content to related old content?

      I repeat "do you link your new content to related old content?" Install ping services manually.

      Keep the habit of submitting to at least one social media right after you publish your post.

      Do you have a site map?

      From what I can tell from looking at the blog, jijosunny does have a related posts plugin, but there are no links inside the post body itself. I think Google is smart enough and simply overlooks the auto-related posts, so essentially there are no backlinks to his own content...very bad for SEO. Besides that, there's a bunch of pop-up ads and redirects to spam sites, and I sure Google sees those, too. All in all, totally contrary to what Matt Cutts from Google says on his own blog: www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-for-bloggers/ Just my 2c.

      I forgot about the archive page. It is very helpful and even ease you when trying to interlink post inside your blog post. You just need to open that page and copy paste the link, you don't have to worry about the html link etc.

      Good thinking. That's actually one of the reasons why I have an archive page. Right-click and copy link location is a great tool.

    Husdal,
    Is it true that you have found Pop-up ads and redirects in my blog?
    It is because someone hacked my blog (Even I cant see). Otherwise why should I use this shit type of irritating advertisements If I am earning a better income, Please help me.
    What should I do to avoid these hackers.
    Does MY blog still has this problem??
    1. husdal
      It does happen from time to time. I'll PM you an example next time I come across one. I can't post the link here, obviously. Unless it's my computer that's been hijacked, but then it would appear everywhere and not just when visiting your blog.

      I was hacked too.

      Back up database and the wordpress upload folder. Check for image with crazy name sdsgsdsdkjgskdgsghsd.jpg and delete it. open up the xml database file in text editor. Look for script/iframe etc and delete it.

      Now delete all files on your domain and upload a fresh latest WP.


      Change the Cpanel and FTP account user name.

      Never ever give 777 files permission to any wp files and folders.

      Install wordpress and import back your post and images.

      Tips:
      #Hackers now know that millions are using wordpress. the attack has started targeting wordpress blog. Remove the footer line "powered by wordpress" and the wordpress version tag in header.php file. this is how hacker find a wordpress blog.

      # you can also use exploit scanner plugin and lock down wordpress plugin (google it).

      My problem was solved only after I request a fresh host account. Hacker can penetrate deep.

      So sad my Pr went 5 to 3

    I think you should link those old articles from your latest ones.

    this way..crawler crawls that from the main page and it still stays there.
    try that..it works most of the time.
