Need some help with google listing
Not sure what has happened! We used to have a pretty darn good listing for the past 8 years on google. Now our site can't even be seen. www.ackits.com. It is not blacklisted or anything like that.
Only thing that has been done lately is a few things google suggests in it web tools section. I'm not looking for a free SEO here! Just some feedback as to why it may not be found anymore. This is my business and being in the auto a/c field I can't have our site not listed. If anyone can see what may have happened. I would be willing to work with you getting it listed again within google.

Google shows 824 pages indexed, and approximately 25 pages linking to the homepage.
Why do you think you've suddenly been dumped? Because you can't find yourself in the SERP's any more? Do you have Analytics installed? If not, install it!

Because I can no longer find out site with terms I had top page ranking for years. Terms like auto ac or automotive air conditioning. Heck I can't even find our domain with a term like ackits or our company name Arizona Mobile Air.
Things I have done recently which may have affected things. Tired a new description which has been replaced with the old one a week ago. Add a site-map and verification meta tag which claims to be good within the google webtools page. One area which I think I may have caused the issue is the robot.txt file. Which was added about a month ago and changed a few times after I believe I blocked all robots with a txt file saying, User-agent: * Disallow: / Then I updated it using the google robot creator to, User-agent: * Allow: / since no response after a few days and with more reading I changed it to, User-agent: * Disallow: Few more days of nothing and google showing it picked up the new robot.txt files I currently have it set as, User-agent: * Disallow: /elrey/ Elrey folder is just my mountain bike folder. Note our other domain autoacforum shows the googlebot last checked it April 4th. While the Ackits.com domain has not been scanned since March 18th. This is why I think it not showing. I blocked the robots by accident and now they may not be scanning that domain. But that is just a guess on my part. Here is my meta tag in case it helps. <head> <title>Automotive Air Conditioning Parts & Equipment - ACKITS.COM</title> <base href="https://www.ackits.com/"> <link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="styles/ie.css"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="description" content="Specializing in the production and sales of after market automotive air conditioning systems. Complete line of Auto A/C replacement parts are also available."> <meta name="keywords" content="automotive, parts, compressor, auto ac repair, auto ac troubleshooting, accumulator, drier, condensers, air conditioning, a/c parts, kits ,ac, retrofit, a/c systems, automotive repair"> <meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache"> <meta name="verify-v1" content="0mmKHUTkmt5RJro7KNNWLdeql0CJPohocbAsUbto5 0U=" > <meta name="robots" content="index,follow"> <meta name="revisit-after" content="7 days"> </head> Last edited by TRB : 04-06-2008 at 08:29 PM.

OK, so you only just installed Analytics a few days ago?
Why stop Google caching your pages? There's no need to give it a revisit time either; it will figure that out for itself. It sounds like you shot yourself in the foot with the Robots.txt. What are you actually trying to achieve with it? Stop it indexing /alrey/ but allow everything else?

No doubt I shot my self in the foot. But can we/I get google to see the domain again? Like I said I willing to pay for any assistance you can offer on this!
Blocking the the elrey folder had no meaning other than I was just trying to do something at this point. So here is what I have this morning. <link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="styles/ie.css"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="description" content="Specializing in the production and sales of after market automotive air conditioning systems. Complete line of Auto A/C replacement parts are also available."> <meta name="keywords" content="automotive, parts, compressor, auto ac repair, auto ac troubleshooting, accumulator, drier, condensers, air conditioning, a/c parts, kits ,ac, retrofit, a/c systems, automotive repair"> <meta name="verify-v1" content="0mmKHUTkmt5RJro7KNNWLdeql0CJPohocbAsUbto5 0U=" > <meta name="robots" content="index,follow"> <meta name="revisit-after" content="7 days"> User-Agent: * Allow: / Is this better and what else can we do to get google to see us again?

You haven't been blacklisted as far as I can see, so you will get re-indexed shortly. If you want to monitor this, use Webmaster tools to check crawl stats and when Google last accessed your robots.txt. If you really want to throw some money at SEO, I'm sure some of the more experienced SEO'rs on here would be prepared to put together a report on your sites strengths and weaknesses, along with recommendations. Hell, I'd even do it if the price was right. Or you could just use the new site reviews forum.

Do you have any section which attract Google bot to hit on your website. If you do not know then check it in your website's control panel for previous month when it was listed last. You will get the idea about hits and impression and clicks. Tell us the previous counts for all these.
