      Hi, a bit shocked this morning as my website http://www.in2town.co.uk/ has dropped around 20 places in google.

      Does anyone know why this has happened. The site is updated all day long so not sure what is going on here

      any help and advice would be great

        I don't know why this morning, but here are some tips:

        1. Use canonical tags on every page

        2. use htaccess to 301 non www to www

        3. Use microdata (schema.org)

        4. Use OG and Twitter Card tags

        5. Use Google + autro tagging

        6. Use Google news tags

        Good luck.
