      I have a portfolio of blogs, and have just had 9 de-indexed by google. What worries me more than anything else is that :-

      1. there is no interlinking whatsoever

      2. content is all unique and on topic

      3. most have no outbound links

      This is truly bizarre - you stick to the rules and get de-indexed ! Has anyone else had a similar issue, advice or comments as I am truly perplexed.

      Thanks

        Have you checked in Google Webmaster Tools for any notices?

          Not on analytics these sites, putting them on tonight for reconsideration. happy to let you have a look at a couple, not much content on sites yet, but it's original, on topic and I can find no reason why they have been de-indexed as per my first post. help appreciated.

          These are 2 of the sites :-

          <colgroup><col width="447"></colgroup>
          | http://www.advantagesolicitor.co.uk |
          | http://www.simonslevine.co.uk |

            For the second site listed, I see one post, and that content is also at http://www.stephensons.co.uk/site/news_and_events/blogpost/motor_insurance_fraud. The rest is default WP stuff. That's really not adding the type of value that Google is looking for in a site.

            For the first site, I'm seeing duplicated content and a very similar template between http://www.advantagesolicitor.co.uk/disciiplinary-hearing-procedure/ and http://www.atmsolicitors.co.uk/disciplinary-hearings/.

            I'm afraid I don't see the original content for these sites.

            I'm not sure what you mean by not on analytics. I was asking about Google Webmaster Tools, not Google Analytics.

              Thanks that's helpful, I don't normally have dupe content so will check but dupe content doesn't usually mean de-listing in my experience. when you say similar template, my sites are on standard w/p 2011, what's wrong with that, thousands of sites like that ....

              Still doesn't add up to me ...other sites with lots more content and definitely original also effected - your comments on http://www.courtservices.org.uk/ would really be appreciated.

              Thanks for your input so far also.
