      I have just re created  my website as I noticed a massive fall after the update.

      Can anyone  tell me if there is anything more I can do to improve SEO for Google UK for the term - radio codes. Please be constructive I am a small business working from home trying to get high in the organic listings again.

      Thank you in advance

        Did you change your URL or just redid your site? Redoing your site may not undo all penalties.

        I strongly advise you to use canonical tags to avoid duplicate pages like the following.

        http://www.instant-radio-code.co.uk/index.php and http://www.instant-radio-code.co.uk

        http://www.instant-radio-code.co.uk/alpine-radio-codes and http://www.instant-radio-code.co.uk/alpine-radio-codes/

        Please clue me in, your website doesn't look like a Newbie created it, so why is the subject line on this post labeled Newbie? Please write more accurate subject lines.

        Good luck on your site and I hope this helps you out! and if it does please mark answered 🙂

          Also, your htaccess file can be updated to 301 all slashes to non-slashes

          RewriteRule ^([^/]+/)*([^/.]+).html/ http://www.mydomain.com/$2.html [R=301,L]

            Irving, I am new at SEO making me a newbie..  The website was changed completely from the old site, removing external links, cleaning the code and changing the design.

            Thanks for your response, i will use the canonical tags you mention.
