    Default Google has blocked me??

    Hello.

    My site was on the first page on google for over 6 months under:
    hardwood floors hawaii
    Hardwood floor honolulu
    wood floors hawaii and so on..

    www.davincifloors.com

    Now my web site has disapeared totally.

    What do you think it could be?

    How can I fix it?

    Thanks a lot.

    Scroll down the homepage, ask yourself did I write this content for my site users or the search engines.

    It would appear that the Google rankings are fluctuating. This usually happens when Google is re-caching websites and organising their order, which can cause your website to take a nose dive, but they usually pop back up.

    However, I would not be surprised if this is the start of a downward spiral for your site, as Justin March mentioned your attempted SEO is not what I would call an effective campaign. I recommend getting some professionals in for the job.

    On an additional note I would not worry too much about where you appear for your choice of keywords, as I took and quick look and there doesn't seem to be any sufficaint searches those phrases. Not saying that you dont, but I would be surpised if you get any business as a result of those search terms.

    Hope the advice is useful.

    Maybe you were logged into your Google account when you were searching previously and thought you were on page one when in fact you weren't. Searching while logged into Google throws some funny results unless you turn this feature off.

    You might want to add some seo keywords to your alt tags on your images to help you out.

    Work on the SEO mabey.

    I dont see any reason why you would get banned.

    Also from what I have heard new pages rank high for a short period also so as they age they fall back into place at an "appropriate ranking".

    You have a few keywords/phrases that look a little overused.

    I would take a rethink about how the last two paragraphs read.

    Although maybe you were listed in the local listings? I can see you as a local google ad under the phrase 'Hardwood floor honolulu'

    Sometimes the local listings drift in and out or are triggered using differnt phrases and areas. Sometime more of your competitors are getting google local adds and you have been pushed off.

    Its not the worst I have seen in all honesty and dont think thats the problem. I think the op has been appearing in the google local listings and has dropped from those. Or at least that my suspicion.

    However I would stop repeating the phrase variations of 'unfinished floors' and 'prefinished floors' etc etc

    Thank you all for hell.
    I have put my web site up on google and it was very high under the kewwords I said in the first post.
    I think all the content that is on the site is very usefull for someone who is thinking of buyng or installing hardwood floors.
    I can understand the questions if the text on the homepage is prepared for users or search engine but I think there is a lot of usefull information regarding hardwood flooring and this is what this site is about, so if the users don't like to read this is a diffrent thing.

    Now I am surprised that just in a matter of one day my site is out form the google.
    I understand is has not been banned but what shall I do to fix it?

    Do I have to start putting more content to the site, more outside links and start this SEO game again?

    I do not want to spend $5000 just to come up again, I did it one time myself and can do it again, and for the monay that professional is charging I will never get so many call to make it worth.

    Thanks for all advices.
