I could notice the problem only when I found that there was a sharp
drop in the number of visitors to the site (then I saw that people
searching from Google were not coming to the site). I have today tried
to search with www.google.co.uk, www.google.se/no/dk/fi,
www.google.com, www.google.co.in and they all give me similar (not
exactly the same) results - my site is nowhere to be seen, and on top
are poorly related sites. This probably also indicates that Google has
more than one indexes (indices?) and people in the US search through
one of them.

You know about datacentres, right?

No. What is a data centre?



As for www.nonlinear-solutions-oy.com, it's constructed with frames, a
method very unfriendly to search engines (and visitors).

I believe that frames are worthwhile. I may be wrong,

You are.

I will be glad to be corrected.


but practically all
sites I happen to see have frames. Having said that, I can add that (1) the
search engines are shown a frameless site, and close to the top, it says
that if someone (looking from cache) wants to read properly, there is also
a site with frames, which they can click on.

Google might have lately taken a dislike to this. Try removing the
frames from the basic constructin of the site while keeping the file
names the same where you can. That might fix things.

If it does fix things, how long would it take before we can notice it?
Next indexing date? Google is unlikely to punish sites with frames. It
might dislike the fact that it is shown something different from what
someone else sees, but too many sites have to do this. It is natural.
You won't blabber away the same thing to a child, to an answering
machine or your colleague - why should our sites say the same thing?



Please tell me why frames are unfriendly. What inconvenience do they cause
to visitors?

They cause inconvenience to engines as pages can easily be hidden from
them. I suspect that Google may have recently determined that your
site is guilty of some kind of deception, they've banned you locally
and this will be slowly rolled out across the world.


I suspect this too. It might suspect cloaking or our www server might
have been down or overloaded when googlebot came last time for
indexing. Does this get corrected at the next indexing? Or do they
blacklist the site for a long enough time or permanently?



The real home page is index.php. If someone goes there from my site,
it is sent to first_page.php, which is a copy of index.php. This first
page also has a <NOFRAMES> alternative. Introduction is shown only
when the user clicks on that word in the left side frame. Otherwise
the main frame contains start.html.

Yup, I think Google will have got worried that deception is being
practiced here. Try rebuilding the site, nor redirects, no frames,
just straight html.

(The other pages are also indexed / cached; see
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=GGLJ%2CGGLJ%3A2006-49%2CGGLJ%3Aen&q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.nonlinear-solutions-oy.com%2F


Actually, there are some pages Google does not know of, and I have
deliberately had it that way.

Oh good grief.

That is sometimes necessary if only a few people are supposed to
access that information - something like intranet.

Thanks for your responses.
