Guys
I have a strange problem, and really don't know how to describe it, basically i had a issue back in October 2010, looked and actually acted like a penalty (sharp drop in Rankings Loss of PR) in fact it was a very slight coding error on my part, resolved this back on Jan 8th 2011.
My home page is really weak, i can work on my inner pages and they respond really well to link building and any changes i may do, however i have been adding content on my home page and my keywords have not budged in the last 2 months, prior to my silly coding error back in October i had over 60 page 1 listings i now have 14 and nothing i do makes the slightest difference
basically the error was a missing Http// from one of my articles which forced my homepage to a double url of my Site, within 24 hours of resolving that issue PR came back but rankings never followed, i 301 the double URL to the home
Other than that do you think its just a matter of time till the juice gets flowing back or is there something else i should look for, I appreciated that some of the competition has worked on their sites and maybe over took me but position 1 prior to this and now page 3.
WMT don't show much and looks fine, i suppose what i am asking is there any good validation sites or server side checks that could be any good just to make sure all that end is working as it should as thats the only thing i do not have full control of .
