    Hello all,

    I have a page that was in 1st 10 in Google SERPs. As of today it vanished from results. Could someone please help me understand the cause?
    This is the page:
    http://theaterathome.blogspot.com/2005/10/sanyo-plv-z4-review-roundup.html

    Cheers,
    Mike

    It has never been in there in the first place other than for a couple of days under recent posts. Do you think quoting from original source may be a problem?
    Cheers!

    Tried copyscape - comes up with 3 results - 1) one of the originals, 2) someone who copied the full article, and 3) another blog that has a similar post quoting the same paragraph but it is serps. Difference is that I am quoting 4 different articles ( from different sources ) whereas the other blog just does one. Would that be a factor?
    Cheers!

    Design Agent,

    Thanks for you time and for bringing that up! Blogspot hosting is my pain from the day I realized that an experiment is turning into a real deal. I think I ll take the penalty and move off of blogspot. Just do not know/decided what would be right - redirect or link from each post. I think moving content of pages and put a redirect instead.
    Back to the original question. It just struck me that I have updated the post in question with additional link without modifying the post date/time not to screw with archived pages. This is probably what caused google to drop. Yet unsure.

    Cheers!
