Home page of my site is nowhere in SERPS

Home page of my site is nowhere in SERPS when searched for the domain name. Used to show up number 1, now is no where. when i perform site:www.domain.com all the pages show up, except the home page.

I change google site map, index page to 1, put some links with domain name pointed to my home page, still nothing shows up.

Do you know why?

 

can you pls let us know url of your site so that we can check the same.

 

gobossy.com when i search for gobossy in google

 

I guess people mostly link to deep pages on your site.

Anyhow, is it a problem?

 

yes, it is, because i used to get alot of traffic just from people searching for "gobossy"

 

Yes, but they would still get to your site, wouldn't they? Just a different page? I just searched that and found your page on top, but some deep page.

 

Yes, it is an RSS feed, but used to be a home page. I am loosing traffic because of my www.gobossy.com is not there! Any thoughts?

 

You need links to your main page.

But, people are linking to your RSS-feed? Why would they do that?

 

exsactly, i have no clue! I don't think anyone is linking to my RSS feed!

Just brain storming here...

• Would a 301 redirect on the RSS feed create problems for your readers?
  
• You could put a meta tag to not crawl on the RSS feed.

I have never tried stuff like that, so I hope some SEO guru will tell us if that would work.
