    Default Recent HUGE drop in rankings with new REW site

    My new site is smokin' and I know REW has no culpability in the matter whatsoever. I do have some questions about yahoo though.

    Why does it only take my first page in the results? I have a page devoted to McLean Virginia Real Estate but when I search the phrase, yahoo only brings up homepage which is not optimized for the search phrase. Although it used to bring my site up on the first page of results anyway for that phrase.

    Would a drop be because it has not had time to crawl the other pages yet?

    arlington va real estate dropped out entirely from #4....

    Are my keywords too aggressive? penalized? Damn I don't have time for this.

    Jay, Just looking at your site, you havent even done a title for your main page (The most important SEO Element on the page) so I would imagine that there are a few other important onpage elements that you have not carried over from your old site.

    That being said - Yahoo needs time to spider the new site, index it's internal pages (Such as the mclean page)

    Also, you should be linking to your main domain with the www, seeing as your link parnters link to that element, I will 301 the non to the www to avoid any canonical URL issues - however this is just a little detail, the rankings drop is likely due to the changeover combined with a bunch of missing SEO elements on your site.

    Lets head over to the tutorials section and I will help you get your SEO on track.
    PS please PM me your backend login, I will fix your title etc for you
