A good reason to check dates on seo related articles. About the only thing anyone can say with certainty about search algorithms is they change frequently. A tactic that works today may not work at all tomorrow.

Well it didn't work! google hasn't indexed my condome article, in fact none of my dynamic pages are indexed and most of my static pages (that I put links to dynamic pages) have also gone from the index. I've got about three pages indexed. What's that all about?

MSN and yahoo have indexed most if not all of my pages including dynamic ones so I can only conclude that google hates me and has a personal grudge against me. Maybe I did something wrong like put a comma in the wrong place or my header tags are too far up or down the page, maybe my keyword density comparison to relative high PR quality inbound link sites isn't quite balanced. Anyway when I get my PHD in SEO whitchcraft I'll be able to get those 7 uniques a day back...WHATEVER GOOGLE!

When did the site first go live ? When did Google first index your site ? because you have symptoms of the Google aging delay.

A few points on where you need to improve for SEO.

You link internally to your index page rather than the root URI
All your titles and meta descriptions (where I checked) are the same. A sure fire recipe for Supplemental index material.
Your inbound links are mainly of the crappy "anyone can get a link" page / MFA directory variety.

Site whent live at least four years ago and pages were indexed at least three years ago. I've just started to update the site after three years of neglect, up until recently there were only about five pages on the whole site.

What's google aging delay?

Anyway thanks fo the tips I'll change titles and decriptions and try and get better quality incoming links.

Google Aging DelayIn your case I think it's purely a case of low quality links and the general attrition of a site that has not been maintained. The end result is the same but it should be simpler to recover from without the 9 to 15 month delay.
