Is that Penguin 2.0 or just temporary situation?

Hey,

i changed my hosting provider because better server hardware on 22 May. And many results dropped on google! My website opened only just 17 Jan 2013.

Maybe you want to look my anchors. you can find attachment image. Total backlinks: 4,9K

Is that temporary situation coz changing ip address (hosting provider) or penguin 2.0?

Changing your hosting provider does not impact your ratings in any significant manner. Something significant-- like changing your domain/subdomain, or a bunch of URL's--would be necessary for Google to ding your site.

Since you pointed out that you changed hardware right around when Penguin came out -- I would say the culprit is Penguin.

Hey Shu,

thanks for response.

this link my first question on moz and Laurean Vincent said this is normal for changing ip address.

Interesting, thanks for the followup. I've not heard about this signal.

Seems like that was over a week ago, and the reason you reposted is b/c you want to confirm whether the IP address is really impacting the rankings.

Lauren Vincent sounds like she has had some experience with it -- I recommend contacting her to ask the severity and duration of these penalties.

The second response to your original post suggested that the penalty should not be significant. So something is up, and it's best to contact someone who knows!

(I also recommend editing the post from today to include the original post)

Almost 5K back links in 5 month is not bad as long as they're coming from legitimate sources and the growth is consistent.  If I were going to make a guess as to whether it was the IP address change or the back links that were the root of the problem, I'd guess the back links.

What you suggest now?

waiting little bit more? or making somethings?

If your back link profile is good it's just coincidental that your traffic drop, your IP address change, and Penguin2 all happened on the same day, then wait it out--obviously you're doing something well to have all those back links. If your link profile is on the low quality side, it's probably time to start cleaning house and doing the things penguin victims have to do. Here's a little more info on the May 22nd penguin update.
