Our site has dissappeared totally from Google..how come?

markjrees · 08-02-2005, 08:37 AM

for years our web site has been top 5 in google when a specific two word search is carried out. we tried searching today (search term was accountants leicester) and we don't appear at all - not on any pages.

any ideas why our site might just vanish??

just for info, we've not changed anything on the site, we've not altered any links from the useful links page and the site is top of MSN Search and 3rd on Yahoo.

Might just be a blip? When was the last time you checked your ranking?

What is your URL?

markjrees · 08-02-2005, 09:38 AM

checked it a couple of weeks ago and we were top.

url is www.markjrees.co.uk

too start with, the key word phrase Accountants leicester only appears in the title (which is too long IMO) and the description, no where else on the page, when I looked. It's a wonder you were ever 1 on that key word search.

a search for "Accountants leicester are tax experts and business advisors" shows your still indexed, so your still there.

Haven't you heard the phrase "links are king"?
It's what google-bombing is all about. Just as "Miserable Failure" got George Bush to #1 in Google, it's all down to anchorage

Don't get too carried away with that notion, there are a few other factors as well and they all need to be firing to get to the top.

Google won't fall for that google bombing trick anymore. In fact if you use the same keywords in your link text all the time. You just lost your google top spot.
