This is a progress report on my participation in the Thirty-Day-Challenge (30 DC):
I just wanted to let others know that even if your main site disappears from the SERPS, you can still have a presence representing your main website.
This is what happened to me.
My main URL disappeared from the SERPS and I was fretting something awful.
I checked with the Google diagnostic tool to see what could be wrong, but there is and was nothing wrong with the site in that respect. (It could do with some good conversion work, among other things.)
I continued working on the social networking aspects and lo and behold my URL can be found in the SERPS due to a COMMENT I made in a group!
The DIGG position never disappeared.
In fact, when the part of my site that was in position one disappeared, the Digg position became #1.
Now part of the site is in #1 again, the Digg link is in # 2, and in both the broad phrase match, and in the exact phrase match, there are 3 positions, including the comment.
Mind you, I am still very irked about my site disappearing from the SERPS.
I will certainly continue to follow the conversation, make those comments and build relationships.
In this way, it doesn't really matter if the main URL is in the SERPS or not because I will have many more positions there due to other links from social networking sites.
