Hi Guys,

My site has been getting crushed on SERPS since the end of Jagger.

I've been doing all of the text-book things to clear any inefficiencies up (from the help of hundreds of posts on this forum), but nothing seems to be helping.

Here are three major concern points:

1. When doing site:www.Mydomain.com, my home/index page is nowhere to be found within the first 10 - 20 pages. (18k indexed). Nothing shows supplemental though.

What does this mean?

2. My backlink count has dropped considerably when doing a link:site command on G, but according to my records, I haven't lost any. Other search engines show links the same.

3. Regarding SERPS, lets say I sell ONLINE WIDGET THINGS. And let's pretend that WIDGET THINGS are the main term, but my site is focused more on ONLINE W T. Since the end of Jagger, beginning of BD, I've seen subtle drops in the SERPS for O W T, but I've been absolutely crushed on the more popular W T.

I used to rank #1 for O W T and #2 for W T. Now, I'm #7 for O W T, and delisted on W T.

Also, AllinANCHOR and ALL IN TEXT, have me #1 for O W T, and nowhere for W T.

Is google differentiating between the two?

Any help would be appreciated...

Disclaimer: only Google knows how it works.

It reminds me how my new site appeared after the sandbox. Index page was nowhere or far deeper than other pages etc.

I believe that you had begun from scratch and Google simply has not finished studying your site. Probably you should just wait and improve your site in the regular manner.
