Sorry can't let go

On the search german goo girl/s my placing now is 463 so I went from 9 to 463.

I good be I was spamming the phrase to much like Christy said but if I look for german goo which is even more on the page I am number 8 again

Can someone explain this?

ChristyB,

Try this - it's a nice Google monitor that lets you check any number
of keywords for any number of sites...got it from Cleo a while back...

Hi Troy,

There are lots of possible reasons... but I would guess the biggest reason was removing those urls... (when I made my earlier post I had missed your remark about that)!

Now I see you took away some pages - which were ranked quite well... The replacement urls haven't been ranked yet (don't even seem to have been found)!

Google still have those old pages listed but they're going 404 - If I were you I'd put them back - it might help reverse the trend you're seeing (plus those pages may be getting clicks and right now you're wasting that traffic)!

When you removed them you should've done this:

Lee,
As long as you move the page as it is... and dont change it too much till its re-spidered in its new home, you can do an htaccess permanent redirect.
This shows the SE spiders that the page has moved to a new home and that the original no longer exists..
it also catches any stray traffic coming via the old url

Also - You really should rewrite that index page, there are loads of errors - (and fix the broken link at the foot of the page)...

All those things would have impacted your pr and your serps but the biggest one (probably) was removing those pages.

Thanks Pusher

Thanks Christy,

About the links I have seen that myself and put everything back I even put up a extra page and maybe more so I have more inbound links I also link them togher in paragraph checked my HTML and removed the errors.

Now see what happens.
Thanks again for your good advice

My pleasure Troy,

I'm no expert, (certainly not in the same league as DD or Linkster) but I'm sure it will improve your chances...

One other thing you might want to do when you have time is to take a look at css / style sheets, you can use them to clean up your code a lot, also to format your header tags - (I'm not sure but if you use <h1> tags around other font format tags it may negate your <h1> value).

Good luck anyway - and say 'hi' to mlilah from me

I am in the middle of a course CSS
For the H tags I define the px in CSS but I need a couple of weeks to learn it better.
