Some pages no longer indexed

[ClickItNow]

I've noticed that a few of my pages (which were previously indexed by google) are no longer indexed. It is definately not a case of them dropping further down the list, as I have tried finding them on a variety of specific searches.

A common problem out of your control? OR, more likely to be something i've done?

Cheers guys.

It looks like quite a few of your pages don't have very much text or content on them. You also only have 1 or 2 very low quality incoming links to your site. This could be a cause. Im also not too sure how good drop down menu's are for seo. Someone else will have to comment on that.

Thanks for the reply

Yeh, I am not overly concerned about my content to code ratio as it is higher than alot of sites I have compared it to (eg Pocket Fives).

I certainly also plan to purchase some higher PR backlinks.

I had a good think about what changes I'd made since all my pages were indexed and I think it may be due to the path changing that most spiders follow. I have made a couple of changes to get it back closer to how it was.

I guess I was thinking along the lines, that when pages get indexed, they stay indexed until spiders notice they no longer exist, whereas I should be thinking that they only get indexed each time they are crawled, and if they dont get crawled they get dropped (at defined intervals obviously). (correct me if i'm wrong)

Generally I suppose, Holis' thread about google could also have something to do with it.

thanks again
