      Hi,

      Can you post the domain name and the two urls so we can have a look at the visibility?

      Cheers.

        sounds like those pages have been suppressed. probably the link building you did, doesn't have to be aggressive, just has to be too many similar anchor texts and/or sitewides etc.

        change the URLs and let the old ones 404. start over with fresh urls.

            Hi,

            But it looks like the entire site's organic visibility is .. flat line.

            See a screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/LDe92AnA

            You did had a spike up but then it went flat line again.

            It also looks like you only have 4-5 keywords ranking on the second page and those are the best rankings for now.

            So it's not only the two pages that have issues...

            Am i missing something ?

            Hope it helps.

              these type of links are most likely the culprit. Did you get an email in WMT about unnatural link profile detected?

                    Oh remove the robots meta nofollow tags from the pages!!! Check your other pages too to make sure you're no unintentionally blocking them.

                    http://www.asggutter.com/gutter-connecticut/

                    <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">noindex, nofollow</a>" /> 
                    http://www.asggutter.com/gutter-protection-system/```
                    <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">noindex, nofollow</a>" />

                      Thanks a lot Irving, i just removed them, but why it was there anyways?

                      i never created this

                      <meta name="<a class="external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">robots</a>" content="<a class="external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">noindex, nofollow</a>" />
                      
                      so after all this, my pages will get indexed ?
                      
                      thanks

                        Hi Irving,

                        I did removed robots meta nofollow tags from the pages!

                        Do i still need to change the URL's and let the old ones 404?

                        Thanks
