Google no longer cares about being the largest search engine (which they are), they want to be the best. To that end, Google is now splitting their index in two; one index for web pages that will get ranked - the good web pages, and the second 'supplemental' index where they relegate all the second-rate pages - the bad web pages.
Which index is your site falling into? Go to the main Google search page and type in: site:www. and your site URL and enter. For example, for my site I would go to the Google screen and type in site:www.boldvisionconsulting.com and enter.
You'll see the pages of your site that have been indexed by Google. If you see the words "Supplemental Result" at the end of the listing, you're in trouble. From what I understand it's a big deal and you don't want to get relegated to the supplemental, aka junk pile.
I suggest you contact your web strategist. CS from Premier Web Services is a good contact. Fellow blogger, Rich Brooks, at flyte new media is also a good contact. Regardless, it's something (else) to look into.
That's the fun of being in business, right? It's always something new and BOLD coming down the pike. Visit me on the web at www.boldvisionconsulting.com
