I Lost My Google Site Links, Does it Matter?

Posted in Dummies of the Year 1.0 | 14 comments

A scholar can’t take a blogging break without losing his Google Site Links.  I’ve only been inactive for a few weeks.  Google, I promise I didn’t leave.

Why Did I Lose Them?

I don’t know for sure.  Here are a few possibilities:

  • New Host: I changed from justhost.com to dreamhost.com.  Just Host was causing my site to load extremely slow.  I don’t know about you, but I have experienced a faster site with Dream Host.  I don’t believe that changing hosts to be my issue.
  • New Plugin: I installed Livefyre comments.  I haven’t noticed my site slowing down with this commenting system.  They have worked out a few bugs and made improvements.  I am highly satisfied with them, so I am ruling them out.
  • Blogging Break: I am going to be away from my home base for nearly half a year, so this has caused me to take a unplanned break from blogging.  I would say this is the main reason I lost my Google Site Links IF I had been gone for 6 months.  I was gone for only 3 weeks and had a guest blog in that time frame.

    • I Lost My Google Site Links But Does it Really Matter?

    Nope!  Online reputation is a facade.  It doesn’t matter.  What does matter?

    • Community: I blog for community.  You guys are pretty merciful and still come back to leave comments even if I haven’t been here for a while.
    • Traffic: This is a distant second.  Who doesn’t watch their traffic to some extent?  My stats have remained the same and at times improved since taking a break.  Take a look:

    I would like to see my Google Site Links come back but if they don’t I really don’t care, so long as you guys keep coming back. icon smile I Lost My Google Site Links, Does it Matter?
