Malinkam poses a great question to members of
Webmaster World Forums regarding the best way to recover a site’s rankings in Google.
Points to consider noted by members are:
1 Know the causes of the drop in rankings. Don’t make the same mistake twice!
2 Domain age. A site with significant age may be better off cleaning as opposed to starting from scratch.
3 Site Size. Smaller sites are easier to move to a new domain; larger sites may pose a few challenges.
4 Consider the TLD extension.
I think server platforms could make a difference, too, but that’s just me. Do you think there are other factors to consider?

| Switching from .org to .com in hope of recovery |
If site A (example.org) looses ranking, and we open Site B (example.com) would the penalty or filter or whatever this thing is end up in Site B? 1 of our sites, “example.org” vanished from Google on June 4, running out of options what else can be done to recover lost traffic (well, not totally vanished, just lost about 80% traffic).
We also own “example.com” which we never used for content. All the content and inlinks are located on .org site.
Would you still ride this thing out or do such a drastic move? Would google treat the new .com as a brand new site?
