Home Page is the only page in the index

    My company's site www debtshield com appears to be the victim of a major
    spam tactic and I after countless hours of research I am urgently requesting help.

    Here are my current findings:

    Symptoms

    Our only page in the Google cache is the home page

    Other websites are in the cache and ranking for our unique content

    our .net website is still in the Google index even though it is 301ed to the .com site

    We only have long tail keyword phrase ranking for the home page.


    Spammer Victim

    I think we have been the victim of a Spammer, but cannot verify this
    with any source and need help from anyone who might understand what
    happened and what we can do about it.



    Just the facts

    We launched a new site with completely new unique content on May 2,
    2007

    Our rankings began to setting over 6 weeks and we were slowly
    climbing in the 50s, 60s, and 70s for very competitive terms like:
    Debt Settlement, Debt Relief Options and other variations on Credit
    Card Debt and so on.

    At the 8 week mark our rankings fell into the 200-500 SERP range and
    have not recovered.

    We currently only rank for 3 terms: debtshield.net, debtshield.com,
    debtshield

    We did address some of our own errors like adding 302's instead of
    301 which have now been updated.

    Check your backlinks first .. if you have not built enough quality backlinks then build it first.

    Make sure that all your back links is still there, and if you have a sitewide links from some partner check if its still there.
