    Hi,

    I just loged into my account and found out that my weight droped from 54K to 0. Why is that? I didn't see any announcements round the forum.. Although, I was checking my keyphrase ranking and noticed that the data on the amount of found results in google is a few months old, I would even say two updates back at least and the rankings don't match to what I see in real google. So, I'm guessing if you're using the same data/source to check on cached pages with the ads, that can be very inaccurate, I didn't have the ads on my pages a few months ago.. Please look into it, my web site is www.ibsteam.net

    Quite possible that your pages in Google are being penalized for duplicate content. There are quite a few recent threads about this.

    What I'm seeing on Google is a lot of pages only showing the URL which leads me to believe they are being penalized for duplicate content.

    Thanks ResaleBroker, I will look into it. One more question. Does weight validation use Google API key from our settings? Why I'm asking, I'v been checking keyword positioning today for a numerous sites and then got a message that my API key exceeded 1000 queries for today.. so now I'm wondering if this also could be the case since I checked into the coop account after that. I guess I'll findout tomorrow for sure. Thanks again.

    Think your API situation is partt/all of the problem. Try revalidating tomorrow before checking for keywords.

    Hey guys, I revalidated this morning and weight reappeared at 39,450.. well, I guess it is low due to the pages drop in index, but at least I have some weight. Feels like I better make changes to my robots.txt to not let googlebot index my dynamic forms for all the records I have in the database to avoid duplicate content pentaly. Thanks for your help.

    ..actually, I just checked my robots.txt and saw that I alredy disallowed all the php extentions, so I guess its taking effect only now.
