My website will not show up on Search Engines?

My website/blog is Checkthistrack.com

For the longest time we were averaging over 1,000 hits a day a few months ago. All of a sudden we started to notice a decrease in traffic. We tried to make better keywords, improve our SEO, and none of this improved. Currently we get 500 hits a day if we are lucky.

When I type in the name of our blog the actual home page does not appear. Other minor links such as our soundcloud page, and individual pages appear.

We use wordpress and have a paid domain using GoDaddy that expires in September. Any help would be beneficial and greatly appreciated.

    Any reason you don't want spiders to index your site?

    <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow,noodp,noarchive,noydir" />

    Of course searches for the site name are just about the least valuable search 'keyword'

    Checking for all pages indexed using te Google search: site:Checkthistrack.com

    found some 2770 pages, and yea I didn't see the home page at the top of the results.

    Be sure you have read up on the Panda filter and factors that can get a site's ranking demoted.

    The load time seemed a bit slow, not terrible but could be one ranking factor, is your home page the largest, slowest loading page? Noticed I could watch the header image render, it's about 410k which seem unnecessarily large, probably a minor factor on such a busy page. Wordpress cache is an essential. One of those SEO plugins that allows you to write meta descriptions, etc. for each page might help ranking a tad.

    You can occasionally see some search results blocked by a DMCA complaint, if someone complained about a copyright violation it's conceivable that it could get single pages de-indexed.

    Smelly Cat is correct. On line 57 of your home page in the <head> is a noindexing statement. This tells google, yahoo, bing!, and any other search engine NOT to index (or list) your home page. Remove that statement, reduce the load time on your home page (it is extremely annoying), and relaunch your SEO campaign.

    Good Luck!

    Google has been updating their search results alot lately. Plus they have been de-indexing a lot of sites if they did not have quality content or links.

    Did you ever use any automated tools to build links to your site? This could be causing problems for you.
