Ok I have a site that was doing well. It was on page one number 3 for the longest time for the keyterm "Faux Stone" now it is nowhere to be found. The slip began when we re-did the site using bootstrap. Has anyone else found bootstrap made your rankings go down?
The site is www.weathered-stone.com

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We are now down to 20% of the traffic we had last year.
Thanks.

    Have you tried backtracking all the SEO that you have done to your site?

    You might have been hit by the latest Panda update. Maybe you should go through all the links the you have done in the past few months. Sites don't drop off just like that.

    I would use a service like Ahrefs to check for bad backlinks, have you been using a private blog network to link? Also. you may be experiencing Google dancing. which usually means your rankings come back even stronger.

    Are there bad links or bad content? If yes, you might have been penalized and you'd get a message on webmaster tools. If there's nothing like that, sit tight focus on your content - your rankings will come back.

    When did you do the site redesign?

    First thing I've noticed: you've got hidden but very spammy h1 tag. That's not exactly a strong start... Titles are not very good and meta descriptions are the same or similar for a lot of pages.

    Site seems to load slowly, but I'm not sure if that's just me. I'd check it, though.

    Fairly decent backlink profile according to Majestic SEO.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?
