Rankings drop after https migration [Need urgent help]

[akki91]

hey hi guys,

i have lost all my organic traffic and in need of urgent help. Plz i need all your SEO expertise.

My website is: makemoneyadultcontent.com (before judging me, let me tell you that i have been in adult industry for almost 7 years now and hence this blog was a way to pass my knowledge to everyone who is looking for it)

Recently i saw that moving to HTTPS will benefit my site. I did not knew much about technical details of moving to https. My hosting was on siteground, and they have a button which you can press and your website will then be served through https. So i did that. Nothing else was done. this was done on 13th or 14th of june

For the next few weeks here is my analytics (image attached) :

As you can see the traffic fluctuated and finally i lost everything on 29th june. When i researched more, i found out that you need to follow many steps in order to move to HTTPS. So i followed this guide and completed all the steps: https://www.keycdn.com/blog/http-to-https/ (also checked many other guides and tried to complete all the steps mentioned)

Everyone said that the rankings will recover in one week, but now it has been more than 17 days and still the rankings have not improved. My articles are indexed as i can see it using site:makemoneyadultcontent.com but none of them are ranking for the keywords that i was ranking earlier.

i have submitted the sitemap in google webmaster and around 166 (out of 218) pages are indexed. Here are few more images to help my case:

plz plz help me what i can do to get my website traffic back. i have spent a lot of time and effort in building this site, cant see it die a slow death like this one.

I think your problem is you have google all confused - your site still default loads http://www.makemoneyadultcontent.com/ if you enter it in your browser address bar. When you search in Google it now shows the https version - however you haven't redirected http version to https - links pointing at your site will also be still going to http which has all the links and authority pointing at it to rank but Google isn't recognising this and passing authority for ranking to the new https version it now indexes. Have you checked this article out - you need to get some 301 redirects in place to start. I also noticed your styling isn't working properly on https. Not sure what your site is on but if it's WordPress you can fix that with a plugin usually.

I hope this helps

As Matt said, you need to be redirecting all your http urls to https.

If you have WordPress or a similar CMS, you can usually do this in one go via the .htaccess file. Just enter the right code to redirect any http url to https and you'll be done.
