Banishment

on keyword phrase

[bobriggs]

I don't know for sure, but it looks like one of my sites has been banned for using a 3 word keyword phrase.

I placed the FAST search box on the bottom of every page of my site (footer using SSI) and preloaded it with that three word phrase. I have no way of tracking how many visitors used it. (Ranked #5 for that phrase).

Now, you can't find the site anywhere using any combination of those three words.

But it's not banned for anything else. I can add one word to those three or use any other search term that will show relevant results, and the site will list.

AND, now when you click the link to 'add FAST search to your site' I'm getting 404 errors. So I took the search box off the site.

Any ideas? Should I try to contact FAST?

Yep, if you are getting a error on the submit page, there sounds like a problem. (it is working here). I would contact them, but good luck. Fast is very difficult to impossible to get ahold of.

Hi bobriggs,
The FAST web site has been updated. The "Add FAST Search to your site" page has moved to:"
[fastsearch.com...]

Welcome Brian - thanks for stopping in. Always nice to have an authoritative word.

lol. (did you guys have a good chuckle over that one?) If that is all it takes to get you guys to post, maybe that should be my new sig file? lol
