      One of our web pages seems to have completely dropped out of Google after featuring on page 1 for a number of years.  It can't be a site wide issue as all other web pages are performing as normal.  The page is http://www.contractormoney.com/income-protection/ and the key phrase it was performing well for was 'contractor income protection'.  Any ideas??

        Did you implement something lately? Just asking, because interesting fact is, that you have quite an old cache for this page only (31st of March). On other pages you have a fresher cache in Google.

        Nor Majestic or Moz doesn't show any links towards this page, so it could not be influenced by that.

        Did you try fetching it from Google Webmaster tools?

          You just need to wait a bit (24-48 hrs), if you didn't do anything to that page, chances are it's gonna be back in the top 10.

            From what I see, duplicate content has replaced it. The only question is whether it's yours or not.

            A search for "It is possible to pay for the cover personally from your net income in which case benefits in payment are tax free." shows this page:

            http://bit.ly/1DnKp1S

            See how Google only shows one then gives you the "repeat the search" link? They're only showing one version and it's not the one you linked above.

            It looks like you have duplicate content here as well: http://www.contractorfinancials.com/protection/

            And here: http://www.freelancermoney.co.uk/income-protection.php

            So Google used to rank one but has chosen another to rank now.  You seem to have a LOT of sites up and lots of duplicate content not sorted out very well.

            I didn't dig far enough to see if you own all these sites but the logos & colours are very similar and duplicate so I assume you do.
