Page not appearing in SERPs
-
I have a regional site that does fairly well for most towns in the area (top 10-20). However, one place that has always done OK and has great content is not anywhere within the first 200.
Everything looks OK, canonical link is correct, I can find the page if I search for exact text, there aren't any higher ranking duplicate pages.
Any ideas what may have happened and how I can confirm a penalty for example.
TIA,
Chris -
Do you have a link to the site please? I'd be happy to take a quick look.

Thanks Matt.
Here you go: http://www.cornwalls.co.uk/Isles-of-Scilly/
I don't think it's an on page thing as all my other similar pages are fine.
-
Spot on thanks. What terms are you not ranking for? The page is indexed and when searching for "Isles of Scilly Cornwall" I'm getting you in 5th position?
-
Thanks for checking.
It seems to have disappeared for "Isles of Scilly", without the Cornwall.
I'm sure it is some sort of penalty
-
I'm also seeing it rank for Isles of Scilly (now, that's for google.co.uk vs google.com)
-
Do you have Skype? I have to pop out right now but I'd be happy to help you out later on?
I'll have a good dig through the page and check out your link profile

My Skype is in my SEOMoz profile. If you don't have Skype, pop me a mail or something.

Thanks again Matt.
No Skype, but I'll drop you a line later if I'm working late.Still not ranking for Isles of Scilly in google.co.uk or google.com even in my cookie disabled browser.... weird!
-
Still can't see it anywhere in the rankings myself.
Just to confirm - you searched for Isles of Scilly and http://www.cornwalls.co.uk/Isles-of-Scilly/ came up on the first few pages?
Thanks,
Chris -
Correct; on google.co.uk it came up on the first page.

Thanks. I'm calling Google broken! or at least my version.
Not only can I not see my site at all, there are 2 pages from the same cheap flights website and another holiday company I've never heard of (it's my job to hear of them!)
Very strange...
