Welcome to the Q&A Forum

hopefully that is correct.  I would hate to get knocked down just because I took myself out of the wayback machine.  I have had the domain registered in my name since 2006 so I should be ok then.

Definitely keep an eye on this section as new parameters can pop up depending on plugins etc used with WP. WP can be a real nightmare. Look in to W3 Total Cache plugin to help with page load speeds. I've used it with great success on a few sites.

Does anyone know if Mark and Barry's answers still hold true (nearly 1 year later)? We have a disproportionate amount of NoFollowed Linking Root Domains and I'm worried that it's having a negative effect on our rankings. Thanks! Eric

Hey Ryan, thanks for the tips.  However as I mentioned I know I haven't done any on page optimization for those terms. I was already in the serps, then updated my title tags a few times while I was doing different keyword searches and then changing my mind.  Then I disappeared from the serps. So I guess I should have been more clear. I am wondering if there is some sort of google penalty for changing your main title tags around too much.  I don't think there is, but if I am not going to get back for those terms no matter what I do, I didn't want to spend time trying to optimize for those if it was pointless. It is just weird that I was at least in the results and as soon as I was going to optimize and changed the title and description, then bam I was totally gone. Thought maybe someone would have a guess, but if not, I can move forward and optimize for those and give it a month and see if I show back up.

Hey guys, thanks for your comments.  I figured it out finally.  It was a setting in my actual theme that was adding the blog title to my post.  I just changed that to not add the blog title and fixed it. Thanks again for your help and suggestions.
