I have a plugin which posts to Facebook when I update or create a new post. My page “Important Resources” has links from sites that might not be specific to gas mileage. I do create new posts, maybe 2 or 3 per month.

If I get my site to post to Twitter, make a press release, and remove the non-relevant links from the “Important Resources” page, that might help? I got links from directories when I first built the site in 2005, and have kept the ones that are not dead sites.

What I cannot understand is that it still appears on page 1 of a Google search for ‘gas mileage enhancers’ and ‘best gas mileage enhancers’, but not at all for ‘gas mileage’ or ‘best gas mileage’. I know two of those keyphrases are not popular, but my point is that the site does well for the other two.

Thanks for answering so quickly. It’s not the switch that did it, the problem didn’t happen until 3 weeks later, I think when Google allegedly changed their algorithms.

Even if this is an SEO issue, I was wondering if someone else with a WordPress blog had the same problem. The site didn’t just go down in the rankings, it disappeared. (are we sure that’s SEO?)

Based on Google’s Web Master tools, it seems like something is blocking my site from being indexed. I’ve been looking at .htaccess and robots.txt and everything seems OK. I was wondering if there are any other files within the WordPress directory I should be looking at.
