Question Google searches for access programmers

[heifler]

Has anyone noticed any changes in Google searching that have had a negative impact on your professional Access developer site? It seems like most of the sites that used to show up on first page is now second or third page if found it all. Any ideas on easy quick promotions to get more business during the slow time of the year?

Bob,

I can't say I've seen anything obvious. Never anything that would cause a move to second or third page.

See the attached jpg of a random search.

Google shows an ad by Intuit (but they've paid Google to have that ad there). Even when the ad is suggesting an alternative SW.

Possible cause is simply that there are many more Access developer sites than there used to be, so each single page is less obviously relevant to a search. Our website has gradually slid down rankings over the years despite all our efforts, and we found it correlated with a huge increase in the total number of search returns for the same search strings.
