One blog said if your not getting traffic to change meta titles and urls to match. I couldnt believe it. Just the other day I put up a blog got found the same day then I relized I misspelled some thing in the 1st post. Next time the crawlers came by the site got sandboxed because the first page went 404 as my redirect didnt work. My point is you cant change certain things and these guys who say these things are hacks.When I see bunk advice on the net I really feel for those listening. I find the best advice comes strait from the engines themselves.People need to remember to that some sites just are not worth the time trying to revive. We need to know when its time to move on. It took me years to get that concept.A comment on CC & Wp O Matic. You need to be very careful and proof read every post. I set the retrieval at 10 in CC. People set it and forget it and post some content that isn't relevant.

A comment on CC & Wp O Matic. You need to be very careful and proof read every post. I set the retrieval at 10 in CC. People set it and forget it and post some content that isn’t relevant. Reader can tell.

3 months ago – she was seeing several hundred daily pageviews… and only after the site-wide title fiasco did she lose all her traffic.

My guess, which is just that, is that the site looked so much like spam after the completely irrelevant title changes, that people and search bots just started started flagging it as spam. In effect, it was.
