My Rankings Are Gone

[tigerwar]

Hey Raza,

Sorry for not getting back to your pm earlier and I thought I'd answer the question here as it may interest others.

The site affected by the plugin is actually on it's way back up, although it is a slow climb but I must say, I left the SearchTermsTagging 2 plugin on the site and didn't do anything. In fact I haven't even created any new posts for about 5 months and it's climbing back up(but it is a very well optimized site).
Anyways, I'm not going to touch it at the moment(matter of priorities)

You said your site is still down....where exactly 100, 200 or ? and is google still registering any descrepancies?

I ask because you mentioned blocking the links via Robot.txt...This can backfire if you are using an XML Sitemap generator within wordpress simultaneously...they would both be read by google which in turn creates more problems for the spiders(conflicting instructions)

If so, you'll need to delete the robot.txt and click "rebuild the sitemap manually" within the xml plugin and ensure you have the " Add sitemap URL to the virtual robots.txt file" checked.

cheers

Hello everybody,

my site is back to the SERPs, though now it is placed poorly at position 34 for the main keyword. But it is at least something, it's still better than being placed nowhere.

I hope that it will jump up to at least where it used to be - number 8.

Cheers,
Trevor
