W3.org is a useful resource for technical checks but I'm not sure that CSS warnings and errors are penalised by Google? Does anyone know?

It is indexed This is a new site that is about a month old that had been getting up to 500 views per day and climbing steadily and down it went yesterday - any help is very gratefully received.

I get this when I try to visit the URL you entered above: <blockquote>The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.</blockquote> Dan, it’s far more likely that you dropped off Google because your site is completely broken.

The page isn’t redirecting properly

I'm pulling my hair outs I'm trying to retrace my steps after making some SEO adjustments to my site. I've gone through everything on this blog that could be a problem and the only thing I can think of is that I may have about 30 low quality back links from irrelevant blog comments. It's almost impossible to get those comments deleted so I guess I'm going to have to sit it out. What a headache I’ve completely fallen off Google but I’m doing OK with bing.

I have a site that was receiving over 440 visitors a day. On the 28th of Dec that dropped to less than 10. Today I logged into my Webmaster tools and saw that I had an email from Google. Seems like they think my site has too little content. I am now in the process of making the necessary amendments before resubmitting it for review. Thanks so much for this article !!

It was useful. I have a new site (5 weeks) and some of my keywords were on first and second page. Now all of them have dropped out beyond the 100's and have been like that for a couple of days. I ran all your tests and everything came back clean. I suppose its just google dancing a little bit with me so i hope i will bounce back to first page pretty soon. In the meantime I will keep building links so I can take 1st spot when I do bounce back. However.. I did notice after running 2 tests on other sites that my site was banned by Akismet and I wonder if that has any correlation with the google ranking? I suppose it could actually.. You don't mention this in your post. What are you thoughts? Thanks for this post. It was useful. I have a new site (5 weeks) and some of my keywords were on first and second page.

Back then my site was at around 1,500 visits / day and then suddenly dropped out of the Google index. Until today I actually don't know what happened exactly, I was neither using black hat or similar techniques, nor, did I change something on the site. The website then stalled at around 50 visits / day and I pretty much lost my motivation. Today I'm motivated again to bring it back to the "top".
