I'm working on a site (www.cncfamilychurch.org) for my local church, which was (last week) the #1 result on Google for the query "church of the new covenant mansfield" (minus the quotes). I checked again yesterday, and it was nowhere to be found in the top 100 results. Also the site: search now returns no results, where before it returned the home page.

I've tried very hard to follow all the rules and play fair and square, so why this is happening is beyond me.

Any thoughts?

Since it is apparently a new site, this is normal. Some of the datacenters will have the information and some don't yet. Give it some more time.

Thanks, Donna. Yes, it's a very new site (within the last couple of months).

Also Google is currently introducing a new version of their crawler which seems to be building up the index on the new BigDaddy infrastructure. You may not have been visited by the new crawler yet and consequently if you are view a datacenter using the BigDaddy infrastructure you may not exist in that datacenter's SERPs.

Lots of pages are in and out of the SERPs last couple of days.

Yeah, EGOL, I guess so. It still seems weird to me that it would have just vanished so quickly and that the site: query would return nothing for the domain. On the Big Daddy datacenters, I am getting more results from the site in the index, so that's good news.
