thanks
HI Guys,
thanks for your replies again
Mams Dad: Thanks for the address Copyscape, I have tried it.It brings up directories where my sites are listed and pages that do not have the same content, but are of the same subject, so I am not quite sure about why it does that. No pages that look exaclty the same. Or even remotley the same. I suppose it is whether a search engine spyder sees tham the same.
I am not a web designer, I originally bought templates, but over the years I have stripped these of their code to get better and better rankings, hence lots of differnt styles throughout the site. When I got to number one on MSN and Yahoo I pretty much left it in case I did something to spoil the results.
I know it is not w3 compliant, but again most sites aren't, so yes I would lose rankings, but not be banned.
Little meta tags has worked for a long time now and given good results, less code the better I think, only give meta tags where they are going to be used, hence no keyword meta tag.
When I had more alt images I probably was too keyword rich as soon as I took them away, good rankings again.
Webnaughts: Did not know about smaller text being seen as spam, I certainly did not this to spam but by design, it looks better. If fact that area is to take the spyders to content within the site. Again though this has not changed in 6 months, so it does seem strange for it to be an issue now.
I have changed the text to size 2, anyway just in case.
Thanks again, I can handle lossing position, I can fight back, I just want answers over my site being totally delisted, without changing anything.
