Thanks everyone. I'm going through the links and adding them to the disavow tool. I wish the search engines would just ignore anything related to cialis, viagra or anything else like that. None of those links are ever useful.

RE: Massive Drop in Rankings

Massive Drop in Rankings
Hello,
My site (www.reynoldsdesignstudio.com) has recently dropped off the map (50+ places) for almost every phrase I was ranking between 3 and 6 on the first page. My main phrases on google were "web design rochester mn", "web development rochester mn"
I have been setting up a new web server but have not pointed this domain at that server yet so it shouldn't be anything related there. I also have not updated the site in a couple years (I know that's bad), so it doesn't appear to be a hacking issue either.
I was 'hacked' a few years back where I gained a TON of crappy links from China and what-not but it never appeared to affect anything. I'm not sure if that is what is causing the recent drop in rankings.
If anyone has any ideas on what could have caused the issue that would be great. According to my GA traffic I had a spike earlier in the month and then it has steadily dropped off. This is consistent with my actual page rankings.
Thanks

RE: Wouldn't this be an issue of duplicate content?
I've got the same issue with a client of mine. Their competition is beating them on a lot of searches for their area. The competition site has a link to a 95% duplicate content page for every zip code in the state. Their page are similar to this:
Wet Basements in Minneapolis MN 55101
Wet Basements in Minneapolis MN 55102etc
The same content except for city name and zip code are changed out.

RE: To upgrade or not?, to HTML5 or not?
I've built a few sites with HTML5 and haven't noticed any issues in the search engines. Be sure to use modernizr.js If you are going to support IE. There may be apache configurations as well but modernizr works well.

RE: Will thousands of redirected pages have a negative impact on the site?
I'm doing the same thing with a site I'm rebuilding. The page structure is changing to make it more logical to users and hopefully google. I've changed the urls on my site a couple of times over the years and I haven't noticed much change in the short-term and a considerable boost in the long term.
The site I'm building has hundreds of pages with tons of 301 redirects as well.

RE: Site not ranking in Google but comes up #1 in Yahoo and Bing
Thanks for the replies,
I haven't been involved in the SEO community as much lately, can you elaborate or point me to a resource about the "over optimization penalty"?
Thanks

Site not ranking in Google but comes up #1 in Yahoo and Bing
Hi everyone,
I've been working on SEO for this site for about 2 years and for some reason the site has just tanked in google. However it shows up #1 in yahoo and bing for the same search.
Phrase: "commercial foundation repair mn"
If anyone can shed some light on the issue I would really appreciate it. They do have a sister-site: american-waterworks.com that may be causing issues as they link a lot of content to amww but not the other way around.
Thanks
Eric
