Can someone explain why?

what results? Being no-where in Google?

Besides I thought that we are always told to test and experiment and learn on throw away domains...

The reason im not happy with the reults is that what I am trying to acheive is to dominate a low competition keyword in Google.
When I acheive that I will try again with a slightly higher competition keyword, applying what I have learned along the way until I dominate that and so on...

According to this experiment:

You should be able to load the title tag with words and it will just ignore anything over 12 words.

So if that is the case the title shouldnt have been the cause. However to test it out, I have added the missing meta tag details, and changed the page title tags to fit within the 12 words rule, and pinged the website to see if this gets it pulled back in by Google.

If it does I will be very supprised.
In the mean time any more suggestions as to what else could be wrong?

It was all going well, then suddenly after a week or 2 the website vanished from the serps, I wasnt too worrired as it was a new website so I just kept posting links etc...

to me it looks like you tried to fix something that wasnt broken, if your site was up there at the top of google, personally i would only go back and revamp things if the site starts to slide downwards in the serps...

looks like your a victim of your own successful offsite optimization!

additionally your onsite optimization also appears to be over the top, heard of the term keyword stuffing and oops...

fixing your onsite SEO and site structure will help significantly with getting you back in the top serps, however with the huge amount of offsite optimization in place i would be curious how long it will take to see normal results...

whether its you or a so called seo company that did this campaign for you - learn from it... theres a time and a reason to use that type of aggressive campaign, this obviously wasnt one of them....

Even though Google can and will read all the stuffing you jam into a page, it does not necessarily return those results as part of SERPs, nor it is any guarantee of getting keyword weight. You can do a lot of things to get indexed by Google but if Google sees you skyrocketing up the ranks too quickly with billions of spam inlinks, you'll get nailed.

Good thing getting sandboxed in the SERPs usually doesn't affect you Local or other search results. You may be able to wait it out and bounce back up eventually, but I doubt that will happen with all the junk sites linking back.

BTW, Google's index of this page outranks your site. You can probably guess why.

Can you be specific with regards to what site structure changes would be required.

As far as the onsite SEO, ive already changed the Title Tags and missing meta tags, or do you mean something else?

So if you dont think that the website will return on its own, what can I do to bring it back?

Can you explain what you mean by "Googles index of this page"? And how it outranks my site, I didnt understand any of that, (Sorry but im just learning).

First thing, stop blasting backlinks and pray they die soon. With so many backlinks Google is going to think that either the secret of life is on your website or that you are doing something funny. When they go there and see nothing really remarkable, you get penalized. It is ok to gradually build backlinks, but the site's been up less than two months and half the internet links to it.

One thing that would help would be to rewrite all your dynamically generated links. Google can crawl and index those (as it's done on your site), but the pages have much more impact if their URLs are nice, meaningful, keyword rich terms instead of variables and parameters. Make sure the keywords relate to what is in the metas, the title, alt text for images, titles for hyperlinks, and the content of the page.

It looks like at least some of the pages are empty, and thus have what Google sees as duplicate content within the site. Even though two or three sentences are different on each page those words make up a such a small fraction of the pages' content that it is insignificant. If you don't have content to put there, you can always whip some up via scrapers, feeds, or even dummy classes within the HTML.

If you do those things and add relevant content to the site, then you will start creeping back up in the SERPs, but don't expect any movement for two or three months. Google will also limit the rate that you rise, so even if you see big jumps in your ranking day to day understand that it will also occasionally drop (almost) as hard. That's ok because the overall trend will be up... if you do the things above.

Oh I was just pointing out that when I did a search for the three keywords in your URL, this page on BHW came up at #21. The reason is that this site has a little age, good traffic, constantly changing yet relevant content, and few (showing) backlinks. I thought it was kinda funny how a day old post outranked your site, and it's a good example of what Google likes to see.
 
Does any one know if the sort of auto blog type script can be installed on another website.
Is there an ASP version of this code that can scrape based on a keyword and post the results to a database?

If I could set this up then I could keep the index page loaded with everchanging relevant text.
 
Are autoblogs in PHP or ASP?
Has anyone ever coded a simple version themself?
 
PHP, some instances are ASP though never had the time.

Shame because my Ecommerce sites are in ASP, Mind you if I could get one to run in the background in PHP and feed the scraped text in to a database table, then I could pull it out again in ASP on the homepage of the website...

Anyone know of a script that I could use to do this, scrape based on keywords and then feed the results to a database?
 
are there any free versions that could be used to populate a database?
 
Just an update: the website has finally re-appeared in the Serps and is back near the top for almost all keywords.
 
Im pretty convinced of the sandbox now. (Plus the new google test search engine being called "Sandbox" pretty much confirms it too...)

So I uploaded and blasted the website at the start of July, it ranked very well for a while and then vanished for akmost 2 months, and then reappeared at the top.

All through out it dominated the rankings for Google Images.
Very useful to know
