For the last 4+ years if you typed "Apple Mac support Wiltshire" into Google
my web site would turn up at the top. Every time.

Around December I reprogrammed my site in clean, standards compliant
XHTML/CSS from the javascripty mess it was before.

I validated every page, checked every link, even made sure the page names
hadn't changed.

Sometime in the last 2 weeks Google has changed things and I am gone.
Completely. I haven't even found myself on the 20 page. And asimilar thing
has happened if you search "Apple Mac support Bristol" Gone.

I find the wiltshire address on the first page. Not the first hit, but
the first page.


Really? I find the reference to Yahoo's search results, but that's not
Google. Daniele's "try this bloke" link on his old site comes up on the
first page. Which seems bizarre. More than bizarre.

With your search terms, uk only, the reference I got, on the first page, is for <www.reviewcentre.com> with the descriptive text from your site, adding Bath or replacing Wiltshire with Bath, gives your site as the first hit. The text appears at the foot of the archived page.
