Our ecommerce company has experienced similar problems since August. Formerly #1 to #5 results are not showing up in Google anymore for product name keywords. Still top 5 in MSN and Yahoo for same keywords though.

One peculiarity is that a few of our products have managed to stay in the results on Google, though their rank has dropped considerably. The odd part is, they are displayed simply like this:

widgets.com/widget_product_name.html
Similar pages

IE, our remaining results in Google are now missing the page titles and descriptions, and only showing a simple address and similar pages link. I have noticed other companies with results appearing this way as well.

Is this a related issue, or something that we are doing wrong on our end?

GBot has hit our site with vigor in the past 2-3 days so hopefully this will be resolved soon. Anyone agree with the earlier post that a likely time for a shuffle in results pages would be Oct 6?

Hope to see you all in VEGAS!
