    Hi

    My Site driversdomainuk.com has been relaunched on a Wordpres website platform. Although my homepage has the still excellent ranking on Google for keyword, advanced driving course, the other sub pages have fallen away totally,even the non competitive pages where i had good rankings (in top 3, page 1)....although when searching for a specific long URL for a page Google returns it, so is obvioiusly "seeing it"

    Why has this occured? Cat be sandbox as my homepage is still listing on keywords..

    thanks
    rob

    When you're changing your platform, first thing you'd need to really taking care of is : your previously indexed pages. You need to get a complete list of each and every pages of your site those indexed by google already.
    My best guess would be, you're loosing impact on your site as google were counting your site's relevancy with some optimized keywords to your old pages - and not yet to your newly pages. Before you were doing your relaunching - you should get yourself prepared to handle 301 redirection for all those old indexed pages to the new pages.

    I found one of your old indexed page (here) which was still un-handled (lost/not found) - which then being handled by your 404 page. That one probably just one of your other pages among other old indexed pages - that's not being 301 redirected to the new/current(platform) page.

    So, you're loosing your old indexes - caused by platform changing as your platform changed - so your link pages structures.

    Solution: track your old indexes up there, list them, reconnect the dots with the version you have now - 301 redirect them. It may cure your SE position a bit.
    Hope it helps.
