Hi there,

My site, Clifford Irving | Author Clifford Irving launches 12for2012 Kindle eBooks; Nook & others to follow that has ranked in the top 3 or 4 on the first page for a search for "clifford irving" has disappeared in the Google results.

I recently added Amazom affiliate links (including a rotating marquee flash advert) to the site, so I am presuming this is the reason.

How can I fix this? Do I have to remove the ALL / some/ ?? affiliate links to get back in the results?

The site appears in the normal place, on the first page with Bing and Yahoo search (title has 12for2012 in it):

clifford irving - Dogpile Web Search

Edit: Should this be in Newbie Questions??

Thanks,
Josh Irving

Update, I added rel="nofollow" to links in this manner;

<a href="http://blah.com/">Blah</a>
and you will modify it like this:
<a href="http://blah.com/" rel="nofollow">Blah</a>

Hoping this is a cure.
I think my site has been de-indexed as it cannot be found.

Do I need to remove all affiliate links and wait to get indexed again...

Anyone have any idea?
 
First off, I just ran WebsiteBot900 on your website and it showed me you are missing a few key things that will help out your rankings.

You need to add this to your robots.txt file:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Following this simple step will give you a boost to the 1st page of Google!
 
Thanks, I'm on it. Will report back

OK created the robots file and as below. I wonder how long G will take to update...
I dogpiled WebsiteBot900 and found nothing, mysterious...And so begins my foray into SEO...

Hmm

The "User-agent: *" means this section applies to all robots.
The "Disallow: /" tells the robot that it should not visit any pages on the site.

Good advice, just implementing this now, should get some quality results.
