Some pages dropped from Cache? Why, Penalty?

    HI Folks,
    I have a customers site, that was doing great in SE's, all pages indexed. Tons of page one results.
    All of a sudden only 3 out of 14 are indexed.
    Pages still have pr 1 & 2 drop from 3.

    I don't use any sneaky or blackhat tricks.
    How can I find out why the page was dropped?

    Is it possible the pages have too many affiliate ads.
    some pages load slow becasue of it.

    Can I post a url for you folks to look at?

    Thanks
    Smokey

    I wonder if the affiliate pages are not seen as duplicate content and dropped for that reason.

    THanks for the suggestion SMYRL

    The pages, all have lots of original content.
    The affiliate stuff is maybe 20% of the page content.
    Probably less on avg.

    I don't know what I've done.


    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Each datacenter have differents cached pages.I think it depends on you are using different ip (datacenter) for looking your indexed pages.

    Troyan, when I do a site:search for madisons, I only get 5.
    (Must be a datacenter thing)
    THe weird thing is there is a page that is showing up in the Site: search that has not exsisted in 2 years. And hasnt show up in index for more than a year.

    No the Pr didn't go crazy, but is now at 0 for many pages not cached.
    Is it possible that Google found the url too "Keyword rich"?
    I had included a lot of keywords in the urls, as an example some of some pages dropped:

    root/bc/appraisal-antique-estate-inventory/appraisals.htm
    root/bc/auction-antique-estate-liquidation/liquidations-closeouts-bankruptcy.htm
    root/bc/auction-drop-off-abbotsford-langley/abbotsford-ebay-drop-off-center.htm
    root/bc/auction-drop-off-abbotsford-langley/buy-on-ebay.htm

    Although this doesn't explain why the site map was dropped from cache.
    madisonsauction.com/site-map.htm

    Or could it be that the pages are loading too slow due to the affiliate links?

    Please help, any suggestions or experience with this would be appreciated

    Thanks
    Smokey

    Well I couldn't find any reasons so I emailed Google, amazing, but the next day pages were cached again, could be coincidence, or G is amazingly efficiant.
    All is returning to normal
    Thanks for the help folks

    maybe it was just a different data center that showed these "incomplete" results..

    I can’t believe that Google could be that efficient. It must be the data centres caching up.. I am sure Google deliberately randomise things to keep us all guessing.
