I've fallen dratically on virtually every keyword. But I can't be banned, for you CAN find me. Only faaaar faaar down on most of what I've ranked quite good on.

I don't get it. I haven't done anything very significant that should have done this. Has Google done anything?

When did this happen, exactly?

Could it be local rank?

I don't know exactly, that's a problem...

But this whole month has been bad... :(

What IS local rank, in the simplest of terms?

Basically it means that Google ranks search results as normal, then reranks them this time only using links in the first result set (say first 1000 results).

So you need incoming links from pages that are listed under the same keywords you want to be listed under.

Ahh, that is a fine explanation sir. I thank you.

It might be local rank... Only a few of my incoming links are from similar pages. That said, I don't have a lot of incoming links, but I have been close to the top of some quite good keywords. But now, Yahoo is almost outdoing Google in giving me referrals. And Yahoo hasn't increased very much... :(

Oh well... Guess I'll just have to continue working on the page, and I will regain my placings some day... :)
