Default Google - Problems! :( - 11-02-2003 , 03:54 PM






Unfortunately I have a HUGE problem Huge atleast in relation to our
small family owned garage door service business located at
http://www.atbdoor.com

I have been working non-stop submitting my website to various search engines
online, getting links placed on various sites, and finally lastnight for the
first time I visited google.ca and yahoo.com, typed in Toronto Garage Door
Services in the search bar, and my site showed up in 1st position on
yahoo.com, and 1st position under google's sponsored ad.

I was satisfied seeing that my hand submissions were actually working, and
this was the first time I had ever noticed my site on the search engine. I
then decided to continue advertising my site on various search engines, and
for some reason now my site is not showing up at all anymore on those search
terms, and my PR is 0/10. I'm wondering if it is possible that I could have
removed my link accidentally by submitting to a search engine that I had
already been added to?


When I do go to google.com or yahoo.com and type in my site domain now, it
shows up as the old versions with page titles that are not current, but were
updated on google just a few hours before

I also links to my site from webmasters, with their page rankings 4/10,
1/10.

Can anyone tell me why this could have happened. Is it highly likely I will
not be up there again? I am so depressed you don't understand LOL

Finally, about page rankings. Is there anywhere I can get indepth
information in regards to page rankings? I'm wondering how rankings affect
placement on searches. Also, what helps to boost your searches? By you
getting your site's link added somewhere on a page with high PR? If so, how
does this help? Are there any sites I shouldn't bother getting my site
linked on? Do I have to add a link back to a PR site in order to benefit?

Thank you guys!
Arjay

Fear not, mostly likely you'll be back within a day or so.
Don't worry. Its happened to me several times and its happened to many
others.
You start thinking "oh no my business is doomed" and then its all fine, it
comes back

Until your site is on all the google databases it will do strange
things. I tell all my clients that once on google they will appear and
disappear for up to a month but it's normal.
