Pages removed from Google index?

[TomLondon]

Hi All,

I had around 2,300 pages in the google index until a week ago. The index removed a load and left me with 152 submitted, 152 indexed? I have just re-submitted my sitemap and will wait to see what happens. Any idea why it has done this? I have seen a drop in my rankings since.

Thanks

I think to get any helpful responses you will have to give some specific details.

It could be down to a number of factors, so in order to help the community is going to need to know what your site is to be able to look at it and give you some pointers.

With the info you have given, you are just going to get a bog standard list of all possible reasons for delisting, which isn't going to help you at all.

Hi

Not sure why this is happening, but I am having a lot of trouble viewing your gzipped sitemap.

Your robots.txt file is pointing at a gzip sitemap

http://www.tomlondonmagic.com/robots.txt

http://www.tomlondonmagic.com/sitemap.xml.gz

Is that what you submitted to google?  Try submitting the non gzip version and see if that makes a difference:

Hi,

Thanks for looking at this - I am submitting this  - http://www.tomlondonmagic.com/sitemap.xml as my sitemap.

It shows 2000+ submitted and only 153 indexed... I don't understand why they have just been removed with not message or reasons? However these pages are all similar however targeted for different locations in the UK. Could this be why?
