Judy L: About a year ago my #1 real estate site disappeared from Yahoo results after I changed my links page. Why?
I was #1 in natural results for my market and for my keywords, Fayetteville Arkansas Real Estate for about 3 years. In April of last year I “streamlined” my links page and removed a lot of the extraneous copy. Now it’s just keywords for the other real estate sites to whom I have links, for example “Orlando Real Estate” or “Miami Real Estate”. It’s easier for site visitors to use, but my site totally disappeared from Yahoo. I have a lot of good content and the site is “somewhat” optimized. Does anyone have an idea of why? I’m still #1 in Google and about #3 in MSN. The website is https://www.JudyLuna.com . If anyone can figure out why I am being penalized, I would really like to know so I can correct it. I am a real estate agent first, but I manage my own site.

well did you use a keyword generator and put the code into the html of your site? maybe that might be it. just putting the keywords in the keyword section on your site’s account page may not be enough.

There can be many reasons. I personally have no idea. I am constantly adding unique content to my pages every day. I get about 400 unique hits a day from natural searches. I get linkbacks from other brokers in my content network who we compile the information together but my statcounter sucks and doesn’t say where everyone is comming from. Usually just says “no referring link” but they found me some way. I would love to know. I am constantly updating my urllist.txt for yahoo and submitting it and my sitemap.xml for google. It helps with the slurps and the bots.

I don’t think that you have been penalized, but what I do not see is keyword “fayetteville arkansas real estate” being repeated few times on your main page. Maybe little more description with this keyword will help your organic ranking. You have word or keyword “Northwest Arkansas” and “Arkansas” .

Yahoo has also indexed only main page from your site. Usually it should have all of the pages, which means that yahoo is not indexing anything after the main page.

I would suggest re-submitting your site to yahoo. Repeat the keywords in few sentances and this should help you to get on top.

I specialize in keyword analysis and reaching top ranks, so if youa re interested I can help you to get to top 10 on yahoo, google, msn.

I personally used a firm (link below) that did a 250,000 site submissions for my site. It worked great. But, results now take a few months.

Also, Best to get some FREE trial software to NOT only get listed, but, get high on the search engine results.

A start would be to read a good article “Search Engines May Not Like Your Web Site”
