Depends a lot on how many pages your site has, so if its 500+ pages 1 page should not effect the rankings much. If its 25 pages 1 page will have a big impact, and ogf course it has to be 70% unique from your other pages or its a negative.
I have over 140 pages and I’m pretty much trying to bounce around a bit with new ones. I can’t see how adding a mobile casinos page would hurt the site. Meanwhile I have new pages I want to add piling up because I’m afraid to take another blow. Think I’m going to wait till the end of the month and see where things are at, if there’s no improvement then I’ll go ahead and add them. If there is improvement I’ll wait till the end of July as that has always been my slowest time of year.
Wondering if adding breadcrumbs would help Google and my visitors.

Depends on if they’re white or wheat. :colgate:
Although frustrating, it is very interesting indeed.
If I am looking at the right site, your ‘new page’ is not merely another page but a new major navigational menu item. My guess is that it’s a bigger ‘deal’ for google than we realize. I ain’t no xpert by any means, but it appears the algorithms are recalculating your whole site and then ‘settling down’ to nromal.
(it’s always easy to blame it on google algorithms)
This is interesting… I noticed this happen on some of my smaller static sites (< 100 pages) where I use a sidenav area to list like the latest 20 article titles or similar. I add a new article plus a nav listing for the title to get it to index faster and notice a drop in the serps for the main KWs the site is targeting. I just put it down to experiencing a little serp dance because of the new material on the site. But now that you mention in happens on WP, it might be something to think about. New pages list in the sidebar if you have the “pages” widget active (and plenty of WP users do), but new posts don’t (unless you have the “latest posts” widget active, which most WP don’t). I wonder if when indexing new content on a site, the G-bot sees the new page title as new a link on the homepage and causes a temporary serps drop. Doesn’t seem to happen on larger sites (> 200 pages).
