    No longer listed on Google

    Hope this is the right place to post this!

    A while ago I noticed that we'd completely lost our page rank for archery-interchange.com. It was then brought to my attention that we are no longer listed on Google (we used to be in the top 5 for archery forum searches).

    I've got all the usual Google stuff setup on the site and it seems to be functioning correctly (sitemap, analytics etc.) plus vbSEO.

    Anyone had a similar experience and can anything be done about it.

    Thanks in advance,

    Dave

    You may have been penalised. Google is against paid non relevant links.

    site:archery-interchange.com - Google Search

    You are still listed on Google, however if your search terms have been relegated, that would be a classic sign of the paid links syndrome.

    I would sack off the ZMTC links and lose the 30$ a month and put Google Ads on, and make potentially more money. Once you have removed the non relevant links (and check everywhere) submit a site reinclusion request to Google. (if the links were the reason, you should get your search results back)

    Hi

    I am not saying that is the reason, it just looks like it on face value.

    You definitely do not want to have non-relevant links on your site. More and more sites are getting penalized.

    Multiple factors can cause penalties. This is definitely one of them:

    I don't think a link to radio station would have caused it. Is the radio station a legitimate site?
