Has a penalty been applied?

I updated my website and vanished.

We all know Google may apply penalties but does Inktomi? I updated my site before Christmas. Prior to the update, my SERPS on ink were very similar to Google (typically top 10-20). However, since I updated my site I'm nowhere.

The only significant changes I made on this update was to introduce CSS files. Previously, I used font/bold tags for my headings but now I use H1,H2 tags, etc. I only use one H1 tag and it is located at the top of the page (if present at all).

Even when I search for words/phrases for which I should be #1 (or at least top 5) in some cases, I'm still outside the top 10. It feels like my my ink PR has been zeroed.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Kaled.

You might want to switch this to the Paid Inclusion Forum [webmasterworld.com].

I don't think OV and INK results are in any way related at present.
