It seems like a lot of you are convinced that a foul up with geo targetting is the problem. But why are sites added after June the only ones being effected, then? If someone could explain this to me, I'd appreciate it.

Also, I just got a response from PositionTech. I know I can't post their response, so I'll just summarize and reword. (if anyone wants to read it, just sticky me)

They said that my url has been affected by a recent algorithm changes in Inktomi and they're very sorry. They also said it's possible that my previous rankings may return some time in the future.

So what's your take on this? Is this mysterious new algorithm change supposed to be this geo targeting your talking about? I'm glad they admitted something is going one, but they aren't very specific and they aren't offering any solutions. Also, I did ask them about specifically about MSN and HotBot, and there was no mention of them in their response.
