Lycos UK carnage

[webgeneral]

Has anyone else found most of their doorway pages have been dropped by Lycos, and have any ideas why?

webgeneral, I can't say I have seen this.

You've got me thinking.

Is there anything specific about the doorways that we ought to know about?

[webgeneral]

No they're just plain old doorways.

[designfreak]

What sort of sites are they as I beleive they are cleaning by topic!

[webgeneral]

The doorway pages are for commercial office space.

Could it be the fact they are "plain old doorways" and have been "kicked in?" ;)

[webgeneral]

Very funny, I didn't realise this was a comedy forum, maybe you need to change your name to joker.

Besides the bad joke, really, is the problem they are old doorways?
Like the WPG doorways, are they are virtually identical and easy to spot.

engine (bad joker) ;)

Well, they don't seem to have 'kicked in' too many doorway pages. Your phrase commercial office space is packed with 'doorways'

Budgieofficespace has got over a third of the top thirty using nicely differentiated doorways.

If you've seen a batch of pages dropped, check in your logs that the fast spider crawled them.
