I honestly love seeing this because it somewhat upsets me to see, I know weird… But Google’s John Mueller responded to a webmaster in a Google Webmaster Help thread about him losing 90% of his “indexing” after the Panda 4 .0 update. He said, 15 years of work now “down the toilet.”

John Mueller said nope, “you’re sites are ranking where they’d normally rank.” I scratched my head and said, do they? And looking at SearchMetrics, it doesn’t seem Panda 4.0 hit it recently at all:

Of course, this makes me go back to me wanting Google to add an automated action viewer or the like to Google Webmaster Tools.

John told this webmaster that the “door is open” and he can do wonders with his site. John wrote:

I just don’t get hope people just claim things without even consulting anyone about this. Step one, see what is impacting your web site and tackle it from there.
