Google rankings question
Hi all, can anyone comment on the following. Approx 12 months ago our site was launched and submitted to Google and the Open Database project. For 6 months all was well with the site indexing and ranking. However our site crashed as a result of a service provider problem. The site was rebuilt using a database content management system. Since then our rankings have dropped dramatically. We have tried resubmitting the site back to the Open Database project and have changed keywords and content to more accuratly reflect common search terms but still very low rankings.
Can anyone help? Our rankings with other leading search engines are good.

Jeremya: When you say your site was rebuild with a CMS did the file names change. Did you added your content back and put it in differnet directories or used different file names?
What is interesting is your rankings are doing ok in the other search engines. When you say you tried resubmitting your site to ODP why did you do that. Where you in ODP and they dropped you out? You may also what to try using this advanced Google search tool and to see if you are in the sandbox http://www.algotech.dk/googlesearches.asp . Add your keywords you were ranking well for and then click the "Search results for the keyword with the sandbox penalty suspended" box.

post a link so we can take a look. Some CMS systems have mod rewrite patches that will allow you to use static urls again.

Google rankings question
Hi all, thanks for your responses. Our web developer replaced the static urls with dynamic CMS urls. We suspected this might be a problem so got him to convert the home page back to a static URL.
Home page is: www.carolarnold.co.uk Many thanks so far.

Jeremya: There is no problem switching for static files to dynamic files using a CMS system. You just have to make sure the files names and directories are the same.

rankings on the stained glass site
The pages were originally static with excellent google rankings. Then they were rebuilt from scratch using a database system and consequent wierd page names. They were then converted back to static pages using some program or other. Consequently there are some very odd page names, apart from the home page. Is this the problem?
Also, when I run the links finder with google it comes back with no links to the site, which is wrong because there are. The site is www.carolarnold.co.uk

Jeremya: Use linkdomain:www*example.com on Yahoo for all the site links and link:www*example.com for links for the page. Google link command only shows a sample.
You should be able to get a content management system where you have the option to name the files.

Last time I did a major overhaul on our website, I did what I could to find all the incoming links, and made sure that there was a similar content page with the same name there to replace the old one. We hardly budged on Google.
Overall, I found a few hundred links incoming to about 20 pages (did not worry about those pages where only 2 or so links were there). I don't know if it was really worth it, but we have been #1 on Google for our major search term for 3 years, and I wanted to stay there
