Could pigeon have caused this
Hi We have a site Schoolguide.co.uk which list and ranks all the school within the UK. on the 25 of August it just dropped off the face of Google.co.uk for all the local search terms. Things like "Schools in kent" so on. Now we are having trouble figuring out why. It's been suggested it could be something to do with Google "pigeon" update. Now I have been doing some reading up on it and it seem that with was more about cutting down the size of the local listings. Our site is a directory and does not have local listing as such (set up in Google places). Could this have been caused by "pigeon"? I would have thought it would have improved it? Is anyone else seeing these kind of changes?

Ranking dropped off massively: 25 August
HI have been working on the site http://www.schoolguide.co.uk/ we had something odd happen around the 25 of August our ranking just tanked. Now there was no warning in webmaster tools. Moz weather forecast didn't show anything crazy. We didn't do anything major to site. The site lost pretty much all it's long tail ranking and about 5% of the indexed pages. What could cause this? The only thing of prominence we did was get a link from huffington post article. Thanks again everyone Ed

Article linking to my post kicks it from the search results.
Hi I have been trying to get a article to rank on the term: "help your child do well in school" in the Google UK. Now I was doing okay the article went from 43rd to 17th. Until I got mentioned in the huffington post. Then my result disappeared from the listings and the huffington appeared in 35th position. The article I'm trying to rank is: http://www.schoolguide.co.uk/blog/10-proven-ways-to-help-your-child-do-well-at-school The Huffington posts is: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/emilyjane-clark/five-things-that-will-not_b_5693827.html It's really annoying because this is the type of link building I thought Google really wants. Does anyone know why this would happen and any suggestions of how to proceed?
