troels,

Thanks for the words. If I'm not looking particularly well, I guess I ought to respond. Two issues really.

First, our changing service providers did not coincide in any way with a drop in google rankings. We changed hosting sites early this year, our rankings suffered last year (when both URLs pointed to the same page).

Second, an earlier post stated that both urls pointed to the same page _yesterday_, that just isn't true, I wish it were, because we have a number of domains that still point to that site, only two of which ever went live and were indexed (both those sites are those under this topic, one we moved, the rest we'll move when we have the extra cash).

So, in a nut-shell, our rankings have come back up, not quite as well as they were, but better. Mostly, I've been paying attention to back links, something I've learned in forums like this. More importantly, I've also focused on the business, making sure that when someone does purchase from us, they're going to be a repeat customer and spread a "good report" by word of mouth.

Ok, ok - no more venting...

Cheers,

Mark
