Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you Miranda!

If what you say is true they have made some horrible SEO since Google will index their product pages and search pages there are some serious duplicate content issues to worry about. you should always tell Google not to index the search result page to avoid this problem. you don't want your search results indexed, you do however want your product category pages indexed.

Thank you guys! It's definitely personalized results. It's still such a weak domain though to show to me so highly ranked in Google. I guess that's an exact match domain type of thing though. Sometimes I wish my site had my main keyword in it Thank you all though for your quick responses. Sorry if it was an obvious answer.

Thanks Chris! I did get the NSM Better Meta plugin installed and I really like it. So, I have a new sitemap with Google created. I love Wordpress as well, I just felt that all of my competitors were using it and I needed to stand out from everyone else Plus I wanted complete control over where and how my content is presented . It has been trickier even with good designers and developers, but I'm hoping in the end it will pay off. I was just pretty surprised at how fast Google broke up with me. I guess it's time for me to go back and wine and dine again for some G Love. Next time this situation occurs I will focus more on 301'ing each url before the switch. Thanks for the reply Chris!

Thanks! I assumed that was the situation, but I was just curious. Hopefully I'll see the link strength a little faster than normal Thanks for the quick response.
