I've been consistently ranked on the first page by google for the keyword ulster county ny real estate. Today, when showing a client my position, I could not find my website in the search results at all for this keyword. My site has dropped off the map for this keyword, but not for other similar keywords that I rank somewhat high in. Is there any way for me to discover why I disappeared or to contest it with Google? This keyword is my bread and butter and matches my domain ulstercountynyrealestate.com. Someone with much more experience, please help! Thanks.

Have you checked to see if "ulster county ny real estate" is actually written in your content on any page. Sounds silly I know but check it out!

Try searching for:
site:url.com "your keyword phrase"

Looks like that term is in the TITLEs of your State by State pages but not in your content. Try using your keywords and I bet you will see the magic come back. You might do something about those 302s and IF MOD. SINCE on the index.htm. Good Luck!

It looks like my webmaster tried to write a bio on my company on Wikipedia. That result is no longer showing on Wikipedia. There was a hyperlink to my website using the keywords I mentioned. Did being rejected by Wikipedia cause me to drop out of Google only for that Keyword? It is the only thing that I can think of--Is there any way to check something like this?

Being rejected didn't cause this but the lost link from wiki via that anchor could have. Try adding that exact term to you content and/or description tag and see what happens. Also important, could your site have been offline during the last index (within the past 30 days)?
