Why is my knife crime blog vanishing from Google - Knife Crime blog - making society safer It was never high traffic but I was able to count on 1000 visitors a month on average. For quite a few weeks now though, the site has been appearing and disappearing from Google, yo-yo-ing.

Caught up in a fatal knife stabbing a few years ago, I was deeply affected and started the blog to be a useful resource for others. There has been much good feedback, interest and use. Now, the traffic has gone to zero.

There are many search techniques I could employ to try to improve things - but I don't understand why all of a sudden, the blog is somehow being penalised.

That said, it may not be being penalised - other content out there is clearly significant. But for traffic to dip to zero seems way wrong - why is Google 'penalising' such a worthwhile blog? Surely the process of selecting appropriate sites is wrong. There is definitely something 'up'. Anyone shed any light?
