    Please someone help me to understand what I've done....
    My site www.iconrate.com
    Over the last 2 months I've lost ALL serps in yahoo (similar to other stories), nearly all in msn.. all but 2 or 3 in google.
    I continually get new links but I lose traffic and pages indexed on a daily basis. I've gone from over 40,000 pages in google to under 4000 today.

    Now with the latest pr update I've gone from pr5 to pr3. Backlinks dropped from 3800 to 8! I did not lose all of those links :confused: :confused: :confused:

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=link:www.iconrate.com&btnG=Google+Search
    shows 8 results link:www.iconrate.com.
    If you'll look at those lyrics pages, 5 of those link to iconrate.com NOT www.iconrate.com even. So why would they even be listed as links to the www? The other 2 links from facko.com don't even exist and haven't for over 3 months.

    Can someone please explain what the f*** is going on and what I can do to not drown. I was living a pretty decent life from adsense revenue but think I'm going back to work very soon :(

    What type of back-links have you been getting? Did you get them over a short period of time? I have heard Google will be altering its creteria for PR.

    Good Luck.

    Well besides the coop (where I used to have over 20k weight now dropped to 1500 - soon less) I have many releavant links from other icon sites... Many other links according to yahoo I just don't understand how I went from over 3000 to 8 and 5 of the 8 not even linking to the www.

    Simple as that? I guess I'll take your advice as it's the only I've received. Thanks.
