Since moving HMR to an ASC blog in March 2007, we’ve lost almost all Google rankings.
Pages are indexed fine, but new urls are in Supplementary index, and non-existant (.html) urls were still indexed (and ranked – some rising!)
This nonsense appears to be due to the apparent internal content duplication between the old (.html) and new pages (blog posts, with virtual folder urls – eg homemusicrecording.com/music/).
Based on comments on Supplemental Index from Matt Cutts (Google), the plan is:
- edit the “slug” in each post to create a new url for each post in Supplemental
- encourage inbound links to category and individual post urls through Article syndication and Social Networks
