I just recently changed the way my links are displayed on my main page http://cavs.fanmonster.com . They used to be on a side margin on the main page, but they are now in a java file for the top menu bar. I added the main links for my site at the bottom of the page but just checking, two of them http://www.cavs.fanmonster.com/roster.htm and http://www.cavs.fanmonster.com/schedule.htm both lost their ranking completely, both of which were top of their search for what they are...they also aren't anylonger cached.

Anyone know why this happened? Did I completely screw them up when I changed my links? Is their a way to fix it?

Javascripts are not a good method to keep web site links. If you want javascripts or DHTML menus try putting some text links AT THE TOP of pages for search engines to crawl. (like your product links, sitemap link etc)

I am not a search engine specialist but these are my 2 cents.

I think YOU DIDN'T LOSE the PR.

Check this link:
http://cavs.fanmonster.com/roster.htm (with 4 PR)

Did you change the SECOND URL after updating your web site? Even a minor details? like
http://www.cavs.fanmonster.com/schedule.htm
is different from
http://cavs.fanmonster.com/schedule.htm
for google.

So many times I tried http://www.domain.com/page.html
and http://domain.com/page.html.
Both give different PR. This doesnot apply for home page.

All you can do is wait for few more days and see.
