Anyone have any insight? I was very steadily indexed, then a sudden drop to 5 pages and 10 pages today. Screen shot is attached. Any thoughts?

Usually I see the opposite. Rankings drop but the indexing is fine. Actually this is a good sign then. Maybe check if your sitemap's settings are normal. If you didn't do anything funny or tried to trick Google, don't worry about it.

Sitemap seems to be fine. Thanks for the info. It's strange and while I have some experience with Google Webmaster tools, this seemed pretty odd to me.

Did your traffic drop?

No the traffic is about the same.

How many pages/post do you have on your site?

I have about 10 pages and probably 40-some posts.

Well then it should show all 50+ indexed. Are you going in at least once a week and clicking on the update button on each one?

Yup! And i did a "Fetch as Google" to see if there were any errors on my site that might have caused this and it's showing as fine there too. Very odd.

That does sound strange. Sorry, I can not help you here.
Good luck

Has anyone written negative reviews? I have a few that I could write but am concerned about any legal issues as well as not really being able to sell an item that I'm reviewing

I have quite a few. One of them hired lawyers to try to get my site removed but they had no ground to do so.

Very interesting Steve! I guess as long as what you are writing about is true, there really isn't any ground for libel.

Take a look at Kyle's site, he writes both. :) http://waystoavoidscamsonline.com/wealthy-affiliate-review-my-unique-take#

Thanks Kathy! I'll take a look at this.

That is what reviews are all about positive or negative just tell the truth with your personal experience with it. I have 2 sites i do reviews on with lots of negative reviews. Its called freedom of speech like i said be honest about it.

Thanks Tommy. I'll take a look at your sites and see how you write them.

Sure no prob enjoy

I completed course 5, but can't go any further. I thought there were 10 Courses, but perhaps I was wrong.

I believe there are 10 courses in Bootcamp. Congrats on completing Course 5!

Thanks Michelle, that's probably where I was confused, but I had problems with some of the lessons and videos loading before so I wanted to check. Thanks!

You're welcome! Enjoy your day. :)

Hi. Yes, course 5 is the final one. There are 10 lessons in each course, that might be where you were getting the 10 from. :)

There is still tons of training videos and classrooms where you can learn so much more. Michelle
