Homepage disappeared from Google's index
-
The Title says it all..I just discovered that the Homepage is not in Google's index anymore. Homepage rankings have plummeted, our top keywords are nowhere to be found but most of keywords from deeper pages have dropped just one or two places.
We just change the website design and some content but I strongly believe this is definitely something else due to the fact that it all happened so fast!
There is one thing that I have to mention that might have been caused all this..our email client (Outlook) is using a lot of resources from our server and for the last couple of days the website was down quite a lot.
There are some crawling errors in GWT but the homepage has been crawled because is not there, no other messages.Where should I look for?
-
and in a good position here too.
-
looks like it's up : https://www.google.com/search?q=site:echolimousine.com
-
Done, no warnings, everything looks good.
-
No alerts at all, no warnings of any kind..we have been hit by Panda 2.0 but since then we managed to stop the fall until a few days ago when the homepage disappeared from Google's index.
-
Jump in to GWT and fetch the homepage as Gogole Bot and submit it tot he index. See if you get any errors or warnings there

Matt cutts just uploaded a video about how your rankings may be affected if your website was down during a short/long term period. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eYJuT0yGrI&feature=em-uploademail).
HAve you received any message in gwt alerting you of any bad practice? If it's about links, spam, site down, normally they warn you and you'll have a short period of time to fix it. Be sure that you haven't followed any linkbuilding practice that may have hurt you since I see in majesticseo that you got a lot of links compared to the referring domains, have you bought sponsored reviews? have you got many sitewide links? affiliates with followed links, make a complete audit of your backlink portfolio

What are all the 5's in SEO Queries in Analytics?
Every small business client has the same thing. 5 impressions for keywords, row after row, every single month. Why exactly 5 and why month after month the same thing? I see this in every local business I work in - and for very important phrases! It's gotten to the point that I think those are fake and I just look at the impressions that have numbers great than 5. Obviously I have to get their impressions up, but what am I to believe about these?

Client's Google Analytics account access is 'user' only from previous web developer
Just wondering if you have any advice on the following scenario: Client's GA account was set-up by a previous web developer. The client's GA account is a user account (not admin). When we request from the previous web developer that the account access be changed to admin, the web developer says they can't do that as we'll then have access to all the other GA accounts within their account. Does this mean we'll have to create a new GA profile for the client and lose all historic GA data? Any guidance greatly appreciated.

Google Analytics Organic search queries aren't being updated, even though I'm still seeing results in all our typical results pages.
We pushed some new changes to the site and Google Analytics is no longer updating the Organic Search queries listing, even though traffic is consistent and and we're still landing results in all our typical keyword searches. Any ideas?
