    Google dropped my website

    Hi,
    Just out of curiosity I was wondering, I published my first website when I only
    had three pages done www.trygoogleadwords.com. I was surprised that Google spidered it within three days or so and put it within the first few pages
    under several keywords. I meant to add more pages quickly but you know how that can go with work and all. Now about 2-3 weeks later the site isn't listed on Google at all?? Thanks for letting me pick your brain.

    Google have NOT dropped you...
    Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

      Google is funny. I have had urls listed for a couple of weeks then dropped, then picked up again and dropped, and then again picked up. well now the site is up six months now and the past month my urls are listed. I believe when your knew they do this. And the pages that where like yoyos where anywhere from page one to page 5 so hang in there.

        You need to keep your content fresh and updated to stay ranked at the top. Best way is to add RSS feeds to the page so that it is constantly updated without you having to do anything to it. Works like a charm for some of my web pages

          Thanks for the feedback guys,
          I should have said my position changed not that I was dropped. I thought
          your position (what page you are on in the search results of a keyword)
          would remain the same, but I realize this is not the case.
          Anyway could you explain what a RSS feed is and how to utilize it please
          Mook25 Thanks alot for all the help,
          Jerryl

            RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like bbc news, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. It's not just for news though as pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS

            Add the below code to your page where you want the RSS feed to appear either by inputing directly via dreamweaver or something similar or if i remember rightly Bluevoda has an option to input PHP code but not 100% sure. Once this has been input don't forget to change the RSS feed to what ever you want by changing the link i've highlighted as red.

            You can find a whole host of RSS feeds here
            PHP Code:
            <?php
            $insideitem 
            false;
            $tag "";
            $title "";
            $description "";
            $link "";
            $locations = array('http://www.worldwidewords.org/rss/updates.xml');
            srand((float) microtime() * 10000000); // seed the random gen 
            $random_key array_rand($locations);
            function 
            startElement($parser$name$attrs) {
             global 
            $insideitem$tag$title$description$link;
             if (
            $insideitem) {
              
            $tag $name;
             } elseif (
            $name == "ITEM") {
              
            $insideitem true;
             }
            }
            function 
            endElement($parser$name) {
             global 
            $insideitem$tag$title$description$link;
             if (
            $name == "ITEM") {
              
            printf("<dt><b><a href='%s' target=new>%s</a></b></dt>",
              
            trim($link),htmlspecialchars(trim($title)));
              
            printf("<dt>%s</dt><br><br>",htmlspecialchars(trim($description)));
              
            $title "";
              
            $description "";
              
            $link "";
              
            $insideitem false;
             }
            }
            function

              Hey,
              Thanks for the info Mook25, do you have a website with a RSS feed working
              that I could look at? Or suggest a few others? I'm just getting comfortable
              with BlueVoda so the RSS feed may be beyond my abilities now, but this will be an ongoing learning experience so I'm looking forward to using it in the future.
              Thanks again
              jerryl

                hmmmm... does this mean the website that was built 8 years ago and has never ever changed a single thing on their website will be lost in rankings? I don't think so. But, certainly, if you have relevant, new content, related to your topic, by all means your website should be updated.
