Dropped by MSN

[Waterfront]

Hi all...

One of my sites has just about disapeared from MSN when it was number 1 for its top keywords? It didn't even slowly slide back but dropped over night. Nothing changed on the site that would effect this!

Can you post a URL?

[Waterfront]

The URL is
http://www.homesinflagler.com

Keywords: Palm Coast Real Estate

Just curious,
Are you are asking for link exchanges with Javascript? I am HTML ignorant, but was not Javascript supposed to be bad for SEO purposes?

Sorry, what do mean with Javascript?

<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.flagleronline.com/local/syndicate/std_text.js"></script>
This language was in your link to me page (the part you gave your own code for people to link to you). A real webmaster please confirm this but I do not believe javascript can be read by Search Engines so wont help you at all with rankings.

Oh, now I know what you mean! That script is for dynamic linking and for the parent site of flagleronline.com. I only have a few sites using that.

Waterfront,

My index page was dropped by MSN but all other pages where in the index.
There were two things I did
1) Sent an email to search support <no response>
2) Added a robots.txt file

Within a month or so its back and strong so I dunno what if anything I did helped or it was just a glitch.

Thanks for the info! I'll try both, although I wouldn't really expect a reply from support.

Let us know if they actually do respond. I think it would be a first.....

Did you make any changes to your home page or see a drop in backlinks?
