With respect, that is patently nonsense.

Read again what I said in message 15. This is not the same as natural fluctuations in the results, which we all must accept. This is something different, which basically wipes sites off the map even though they are still in the index and retaining their PR. Many of the sites that appear 100s of places above mine are off topic, including the one at the top.

There can only be one reason why my site, which conforms to all Google's guidelines, is not being found and that is because it is being actively filtered. I am not saying that it has been singled out. It is one of many sites that are suffering from the same treatment for whatever algorithmic reason.

I know much more about my business than Google and if my site is not ranking then Google is at fault, not my site.
