If I run a site: search, G returns only two valid pages, plus a few errors from pages requiring a login. site:ezwebstat.com But I have several pages with PR4 and Yahoo Site Explorer returns 79 pages. Most of the inbound links are sitewides. I provide a counter service and most site owners place the code with the links on every page. Is it possible that G is penalizing my site because of the sitewides? This is not manipulation if inbound links, just the way the site works. The inbound links point to a php code that doesn't return any html. Maybe it should have a link back to the index.html?? The other obvious possibility for a penalty is the LV outbound links. I don't have any LV inbound links. Are either of these causing a penalty?
