Well about a month ago my business site dropped out of googles rankings for most of my keyword's (about 10+ in total).
This happened at a time when i was just starting to get first and second page rankings for all keywords.
I had just started to get page 1 top half of google for one of my main keywords before i got dropped. I can only assume that because of the timing this had a lot to do with googles panda that i had heard a lot about.
Around the same time i was having a link pyramid built and just prior to that i had done a few AMR blasts.
So now a month later guess what i have no.1 spot
for my main keyword, i'm back and top of google but....
and there is a but
it is one of my inner pages that is ranked, my homepage is nowhere to be seen.
the page itself is an FAQ page which had one AMR blast a while back and shows up with about 60 indexed links to it. It does contain very relative information to the keyword which is what i'm guessing helps to rank at the top spot but the problem i have is i want google to show people the home page of my main site which is a lot more relevant as anyone searching for this keyword will most likely be looking for the service as opposed to information surrounding the service. I fear that the FAQ page doesn't convert like the main page because it is effectively just extra info for those that want it and a majority of people just look for the service we offer not the additional info.
I am also now starting to rank for some of the other keywords which i'd bombed for also with one of the other kw's now being ranked at no.1 (this is my home page).
I'd guessing my main page may well be dancing with the drunk panda and things may change in another month of so when he sobers up.
Seems to me since the google update a fair amount of searchs return less relevant results and place some real piss poor sites on the first page.
Well thats my experience, what do you guys think ?
