Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you Kane. Yes we are hosting them. We've been doing that since 2005. We do that for business readers. What google is ging now, is showing the front page of our site in results, or index pages. But those are useless for searchers, because by the time they find them, they have probably gone off the index page and they are back a page or two from there. I have never understood why google would choose to display an index page - on any site - rather than show the page with the whole content. It didn't make any sense to me in 2005 and it still doesn't. Often, if you go to the end of the search and redo it, with the missing results shown, the story page shows up, above the index page that was displayed. I just watched a story come in. within 1 minute, it was in google, from 1 other site and the originator. Within 2 more minutes, our front page was there, but not the story page. Within 3 minutes, the story page was in the index, but hidden. Then many more came in from other sites. After 15 more minutes, our index page was ranked 10. The story that came out first on another site was ranked 11 - and now their page is hidden too.

Oh, and the trailing slash of course - thanks for the reminder! If you think it's a software error you might be best contacting support directly. Have you checked for similar errors in Google and/or Bing Webmaster Tools?
