Search Engine Rankings Going Down

[anoopbal]

My google keywords has gone down from 100 per day to around 400 words in amonth. Did I get penalize for something.

I remember making a local copy of my website on my serer to do a CMS upgrade. I didn't do the met=noindex until a week later. Now I have it passowrd protected. Do you think that could be the reason?

Crawl's are not that fast .. check your link profile with SiteExplorer.

Look at your Google Analytics and check April 24th. This is the date Google's Penguin rolled out. If you see a drop that day, then watch these two videos:

If your copied site was indexed and your old site lost traffic, then your copied website would probably be out ranking your old site. If it is not, then there is something else. Look into GWT to see if there is something you can find there.
