        1. Probably going to need the website.

        2. When did this happen? If it was the end of February do you think this could have effected you? - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/googles-farmer-update-analysis-of-winners-vs-losers - (check the links at the top for an explanation of what it is)

          There could be a variety of issues:

          • a temporary change in the rankings
          • you over-did something and got automatically penalized
          • your website got manually reviewed and removed from the rankings

          Try and back-track what you have done lately. It's probably also worth checking if you have any messages in your Google Webmaster Tools account.

            Have you checked Google Webmaster Central to see if there is any information on the domain there? Does your website still show up for other keywords? Does the page that was ranking for 'domain sales' still show when you perform a 'site:www.example.org' query for your domain? Have you recently engaged in any shady or black hat SEO activities that might have caused a penalty for this page? Has the page been ranking top 10 for a long amount of time?

              • If I want to rank well on one keyword would it be better to optimize multiple pages on the website for the keyword or should I only optimize one page for that keyword?
