Site’s ranking blown by yahoo

Apparently this site’s ranking has diminished considerably in Yahoo. In fact, I was surprised that this site isn’t in the Top 20 for the term “Inspirational Quotes“. It was no 5 when I switched from a static site to a Wordpress blog. An amazing jump from nowhere – just by switching to a blog.

However, after 2 redesigns, I lost that rank.

I guess it got to do with my site re-design. I had re-assigned many categories and changed their names and their folders and I believe there are too many 404 or page not found errors.

There’s simply too many pages that have been changed that making a permanent redirect seemed like impossible. What should I do?

Google seemed to stand firm with tis site’s ranking, leaving my site at around the 40th place for the term.

No love from MSN too it seemed.

Got something constructive to say?
