    Just had to let you all know that I checked this morning and we've been crawled again by google and are top of page 1 for our main keywords again. I am so relieved as orders had dried up since we dropped off and I got pretty worried that it was because of that alogorithm change

    Orders been coming in nicely this morning again

    Thanks everyone

    Id suggest getting a adwords account, just in case that happens again. I wouldnt put all my eggs in one basket with google. google changes every few months.

  • Your site uses frames as well which is not as seo friendly. Also you may think about adding your products to froogle (which is free) and perhaps starting an affiliate programme for your site if that's cost-effective. Plus as said above - keep adding fresh content and get links to your site from other relevant sites, especially those with good Google PR (pagerank).

    While relevant links are 'worth' more to googles search algo, less relevant links certainly don't have an adverse effect on your rankings. So yes, get relevant links where possible but don't discount a link because it's on a non-relevant site or that it may not be worth much. When it comes down to the various engines, all links in add value.
