google index

Do you have a Google Webmaster account and, if so, is it reporting any errors?

The numbers in Google do fluctuate from time to time, sometimes due to data issues on Google’s side. If the numbers do not jump back up within a few days, then it could be a sign that Google does not value those pages as highly, meaning they could be pages with little to none unique content so they have dropped them from their index.

If the count remains low try and figure out which pages are no longer indexed and take a look at them to see if you can do anything to increase the amount of unique content on them.

Also, like Ipstenu said, if you have signed up for a Google Webmaster account it might be able to help you identify certain issues that could be causing the drop.

Thanks for all of your replies. I did have a Google Webmaster account, but it was very strange when I checked the Google Webmaster account I saw it required me to verify my website address again. I don’t know why the Google Webmaster account suddenly lost connection to my website. Such thing has never happened before. Anyway I verified it.

Now where should I identify the problem in my Google Webmaster account?

I added alexa affliate to my site 6-7 days ago, but only 6 pages, will that cause any problem?

Thanks.

Login and check if you have messages.

Look for crawl errors

Typically you will be asked to verify your website again if the verification code or file no longer exists. Google offers 2 ways to verify your site: 1 is adding a meta tag with the verification code in it and the other way is to upload a file with the verification code in it to your root directory.

Make sure one of these verification methods still exists on your site. Even after Google has initially verified your site you need to leave these in place, because they check periodically for them to make sure they still exist.

If both of them are missing then you will need to add one of them back. Webmaster Central should have the methods and code needed to be added back to your site.
