wanna know something funny? I've been putting off making a thread like this for the last 3 weeks. I'd read the replies, look at my sites with their disappearing pages and invisible links...
Hell, I watched as a competitor's frickin' ARTICLE jump from number 19 to NUMBER TWO AND THEY DID NOTHING AT ALL. Meanwhile, my site started dropping from #2 to... let's just say it dropped.
Then, I noticed something while using Market Samurai a few hours ago... For some strange and unbeknown reason, G00g had been sticking and removing the "www." from in front of my domains AT RANDOM and then ranking them based on the difference in the web address!
I'm looking at a site right now... one page indexed, seven damn backlinks. That's a HUGE drop from the 34 indexed pages, 142 backlinks, edu and gov links. Take the "www" off and throw it in MS like it's SUPPOSED to be, and there's all the correct info.
Now, I'm not saying this could be everyone's case... but maybe some of you cats should check into it.
