Hi Zoe,

thanks a lot for your reply.

I checked the ranking position through pws=0 and also by Moz's Ranktracker. In Moz it showed up ok but with &pws=0 it seemed to have dropped over several positions.

Please see my response to Cyrus if you're interested in what might have caused the drop.

I did not know that Google does not update meta data in real time.

Thank you very much !

Marc

Hi Cyrus,

thanks for your detailed answer. As I found out the main cause was human stupidity

I just saw that somehow Wordpress did not publish the changes unless I deleted the cache in WP. Thereafter the homepage looked kind of destroyed because of a false setting in WP. Maybe this might have caused the drop although the page looked ok to me before deleting the cache...

Thank you very much.

I took learned a lot from your posting!

Hi!

I switched to a better title and meta description today for our page. Instead of ranking us better and displaying the new title - google let us fall from Position 10 to Position 16 (still dip laying the old title and meta description). Why is that? (I only changed it for the homepage)

Cheers

Marc

I would like to obfuscate my HTML so that people do not see that I used a Template on my site.

Does obfuscating HTML have a bad effect on the ranking in google?

Thanks!
