My landing pages just dropped to zero in webmaster tools
-
According to google webmaster tools my landing pages just dropped from 1300 impressions 2 days ago to zero for the past 2 days. Have attached snippet of graph, URL of website is http://www.cheapcentralheating.co.uk - I have no idea whats happened here, and if anyone can advise or help I would be extremely grateful.

Check out this tool and see if there are any corresponding Panda or Penguin updates that hit you.

Thats a great tool I have bookmarked, but it's showing no signs that anything caused a massive problem - that said its only up to the 25th of last month and the problem I have started a couple of days ago.

That chart you're showing is from Google Analytics Landing Pages, where the account has been connected to and is importing from Webmaster Tools.
Google Analytics ALWAYS has a two-day lag for reporting from Webmaster Tools. That is to say, the most recent two days in GA will always show zeros for data coming from Webmaster Tools.
Nothing to be concerned about - though why on earth Google doesn't insert a notation to that effect in the Search Optimization reports is beyond me. You're certainly not the first (nor last) to be panicked by this anomaly.

[Edited to add - this is also true in Webmaster Tools itself, it's just not as obvious because WMT simply doesn't include the most recent (empty) two days in the chart]

Journeyman, you may have just postponed a coronary - I was seriously being so careful when rebuilding this site from what I considered to be basically an ugly but effective site.....thanks again.

I'm glad the solution was simple. Sounds like a glitch that Google has had plenty of time to fix but doesn't intend to any time soon. The suggestion of an automatic notation is logical and reasonable.

Always happy to contribute to cardiac health

I've had to talk down many clients for the same reason. I've tried to get through to Google about adding a notification about this to the page, but I just don't have the juice. I look for GA team members at every conference just in case

Go forth and kick butt.
