Hi

New to the forum and I am very impressed with the reponses I received to a previous thread. Beautiful people you all are. However it has annoyingly been deleted without telling me. I wasn't selling/plugging anything and didn't know if it was in the wrong section.

Thankyou for the responses I had chance to read and for the ones I didn't have chance too.

Let's try again...

As title says, website dissapeared from keyword searches on google a few weeks ago. Always appeared and still does on page 1 with one long keyword but all the rest don't work.

-There's nothing complicated about the site (excessive photos/vids etc).
-No adverts.
-Naturally exchanged links from well standing sites.
-Regurlary updated pages and resubmit.
-Recently started an onsite blog and an external blog (from advise).
-Keywords on pages recently corrected.
-I use webmaster and nothing jumps out at me as being a problem.
-I havn't been penalised by google for anything.
-Domain is valid.

-I understand there's a honeymoon period but to completely vanish?

Website is revolutionmountainbiking (.co.uk)

Keywords: peak district mountain biking skills courses, variations include; tuition,instruction,guided rides.

Please help, my last thread response was amazingly helpful.
Please don't delete me again moderators, or at least if you do let me know before hand.

Thankyou thanku thanku.

    Your on page #12 for [peak district mountain biking skills courses] (US search, not UK). As long as that keyword phrase is, I would think it's an easy keyword to rank for, then again I didn't look at any 1st page links.

    Thanks for looking.

    page 12 from page 1,2 & 3 is a hell of a jump, from my post any idea why.

      No offense, but are you even trying to rank for that [exact] keyword phrase?

      You also have a 2nd page in the SERPs for that exact keyword phrase, the page is buried in the SERPs but it's in there.
      www [dot] revolutionmountainbiking [dot] co [dot] uk/availability [dot] html
      As long as that keyword phrase is, you should have at least a single page <title> with the [exact] keyword phrase as the title.

        no offence taken.

        My keywords are different for each page such as; peak district,mountain bike skills courses,mountain biking instruction,tuition,guided rides.

        Are you saying that 'peak district mountain bike skills courses' is too long.

        I have the keyword sparingly throughout the pages, are you also saying that the page title would be better being same as the keywords.

        thanks

          If that [exact] keyword phrase has traffic, awesome, go for it. My point is, that's a long keyword phrase, typically long phrases have a lot less competition than shorter phrases.

          If that keyword has traffic, you need to make a page for that keyword phrase. Google is only showing you in the SERPs because your dropping hints of the keyword on multiple pages, that's fine, but get more focused on ranking a single page (at least a single page).

            The long keyword did have traffic, and it's what I would type in.

            However, i've changed/shortened the keywords. I've also changed the heading of the home page from 'welcome to revolution mountain biking' to 'mountain biking skills courses'. Do I need to change the page tab, ie: from 'home' to one of the keywords? If so even a small keyword such as 'mountain biking skills' will make the tab very long, and after searched similar providers sites they all have small tabs such as home.

    As I said in the other thread: your html code is a mess; you have two <head> tags and two instances of Google Analytics; your robots.txt is wrong and part of the code for robots.txt is showing up as text on your page; can't right-click on the page. It's important to get your code and robots.txt file up to speed first -- and then keep an eye on rankings.

      glad you replied, I didn't get chance to read any more of your posts previously but it went. I've just been looking at my html code and it is definately confusing. I can recall doing it originally, not having a clue what I was doing and following advice from webhost, analytics and other web searches. i don't know what's supposed to be there so be able to improve it???

    I didn't look at your HTML, If your pages have issues like SuzanneH said, you need to fix them.
