Hi ,

Recently i moved my website SPAM SNIPPED to a new Luxen.B Server. My website rank was 80k and after shifting to new server my website rank went down to 130k . :( .. though my Adsense income also affected i was earning 10$ per day now its only 2$ per day , traffic is the same as per Analytics shows me.

some says shifting servers affect SEO , is it true ?

thnx

Marshal

Short answer: yes — but not because you "moved servers" as a concept. Moving can introduce specific technical problems that make Google crawl or render your pages differently, and those problems are what lower rankings. was right that a bad shared-IP neighborhood can be a factor on shared hosting; and are also correct that a migration can cause temporary SERP changes. The practical task is to find which migration side-effect happened and fix it.

Common causes to check

  • Downtime or intermittent 5xx responses during or after the cutover (Google treats unavailable pages poorly).
  • DNS misconfiguration or propagation problems (wrong A/AAAA records, missing www vs apex).
  • Incorrect redirects (302s instead of 301s, redirect chains, lost canonicalization).
  • robots.txt or sitemap not accessible or accidentally blocking crawlers.
  • SSL/certificate errors or mixed-content that break HTTPS rendering.
  • Slower TTFB / page speed after move (Core Web Vitals matter).
  • Firewall/hosting rules blocking Googlebot or serving a default/parking page.

Quick diagnostic checklist

  • Look in Google Search Console: Coverage, Crawl Errors, and Fetch as Google.
  • Check headers quickly:
    curl -I https://yourdomain.com
curl -I https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt
  • Verify DNS with dig/nslookup and confirm both IPv4/IPv6 records.
  • Scan server logs for 5xx spikes and for Googlebot user-agent requests.
  • Run a PageSpeed/TTFB test (PageSpeed Insights).
  • Re-submit sitemap and request indexing for key pages once fixed.

Ad earnings can drop for other reasons (ad code changes, ads.txt, geotargeting or fewer ad impressions) so check AdSense reports and ad requests separately.

For a full migration checklist and how Google expects moves to be handled see Google's site-move guide: Move a site with URL changes. Fix the specific technical issue, monitor Search Console, and rankings usually recover in days to a few weeks.

It is quite possible. Perhaps your web site was originally hosted on a clean server and now it shares an IP address that has been discredited because of a large volume of spam. I think the search engine's rule of thumb is that if your neighbours are a bunch of low life spammers then it is likely that you are as well. This may not be fair and just but is a significant indicator.

I also agree.. Shifting servers do effect your SERp's and it will take some time to regain previous positions!
