Input on Experiment with Google

[WebRiverGroup]

As I'm doing more research into Google's devaluing links, I can do nothing more but to wonder if we will be penalized for previous links (bad links).

Here is the situation: Our company was ranking very well for this particular keyword (within the top 3 positions on Google). However, in the last 6 months, we have seen rankings drop significantly (now to the point Google doesn't even recognize the existence of the page). With Google not recognizing us, we decided to do an experiment.

The experiment: Make another page with a different URL and delete the existing page that is not ranking in Google.

Our Experience: We have noticed that our pages will get indexed and ranked within weeks or making a new page.

Our Goal: To get ranked on Google

Will our new page get penalized from the old page if it's an entirely new URL?

Will the fact that Google in devaluing our links effect our new page that we are trying to get ranked?

Any insight would be of great value.

Thanks in advance

I think it's better to try identifying the bad links and disavow them with google instead of changing pages.

Creating new pages might solve the page problem at first, but what if the entire domain gets kicked out down the road?

Also, you might have good links pointing to your current pages, creating new replacement pages will make you loose the pagerank you might get from valid sources.

I would identify and fix once and for all the issues before it spreads.
