    I am really having a problem with one page of my site in google. I have been trying to figure this problem out for about 1.5 - 2 years now. This problem has existed since the creation of the site. At first I thought I was sandboxed, but after 1.5 to 2 years I realized that was no longer the case.

    My story is documented in a blog that I started. There are no advertisements or such on the blog (so please don't think I'm spamming for a link to the blog, the blog will be deleted once this problem is solved). I have posted on so many different forums about this problem that I thought I would just keep everything together at the blog site.

    Please see the blog at http://whydoesgooglehateme.blogspot.com/

    I would love to hear any comments regarding this issue if you think you can help. I've been on many seo forums with this issue and noone seems to have an answer (actually there are many answers, just not the right one)

    Thanks for the help!

    OK,

    Seems like noone knows the answer to this problem and it seems like noone ever will.

    So here is my question now.

    Do you think I should move this site to a new domain? The deeper pages of the site get a very generous amount of organic traffic. The home page is PR4 and gets nice traffic from Yahoo and MSN, but none from G.

    Do you think it would be worth it to just give up on the domain, lose all current PR, etc., but finally solve the home page problem?

    If you want help... Post the URL of the site in question.

    I've read the blog - I've no idea what the reason is, but as to your question about giving up the domain - I'd say, if other pages are getting good traffic and good rankings - then keep it - but just don't 'use' your home page. Although most sites get most traffic for their homepage, I've worked on sites that don't - particularly on commercial/ecommerce sites, where the page for their most popular product gets much more traffic than the home page.

    The home page actually gets 0 traffic from google! No hits. No keywords!

    The site URL is www<dot>njshore-rentals<dot>com.


    Part of me really thinks this is a problem at google, but they have no way to inform them about this.
