Have i been punished?

[inertia]

Last week my website www.cashcowrecords.co.uk was 1st on a worldwide search for Cash Cow Records. Now its totally gone, i cant see any reason for this? I do not use any dodgy, spammy techniques at all? One thought that i had is that there is another company called Cash Cow Records www.cashcowrecords.com who are based in the US. They were around before me and i kind of bumped them off the top spot! Since i gained their position ive seen alot of traffic from their state (probably people who were pretty pissed!).

Could they have done anything to get me out of the way?? I cant see it, but maybe??

If anyone can see any other reason why i shouldnt be coming up for my company name then please spread the love!!

i appreciate what your saying but im sure most people put spaces in between the words. I appear when you search without but not with spaces! I was up there without spaces last week!

[thecat]

your still first with spaces. :)

yep, the cat is correct.

inertia,

I think you meant for your css validation to go here:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/v...usermedium=all
in which you have a number of issues, even though it validates. Those issues may mean the difference between night and day. The SEs may be keying off the difference between text and background color in the fight against CSS spam.

sorry greeneagle im a little confused (novice!). I added the code that W3C gave me, should i change the link to what you suggest? Can you elaborate on "css spam"??

Inetertia, fix your CSS warnings, and to be sure, disallow your stylesheet files in your robots.txt file.
