Do you have Russian ringtone links hidden on your site?
Go check your text only cache and see if you've been hacked.

This happened to me alot recently on
www.freeredheadporn.net
www.freepunkporn.net
and a few others

LOL - I looked but that wasn't it. Any other ideas?

I'm going to bump this until someone explains it or makes up an answer that seems believable. My apologies to the people I annoy while doing so.

maybe google thinks that it is a duplicate content issue?

how can anyone tell without seeing the site? without knowing your techniques?

you fucked something up. reverse engineer it.

They are all wordpress blogs and I didn't noindex anything so that could be but I think it is not for two reasons:

1. it is only happening to 10% of my wordpress blogs and most of them are very very similar.

2. the homepage was the highest in the serps for the targeted keyword at some time in the past on all them except 2. It is probably true of those 2 as well I just can't say for sure.


If the homepage and a category page are determined to have the same content the duplicate content penalty would likely lower the category page, right? I have seen the duplicate content penalty behave in a few different ways but it seems to me that if the offending duplicate is all on one domain Google determines it is an innocent mistake, penalizes all of the content except 1, and gives that 1 a chance to compete with no penalty at all. It seems like if that were the case the 1 would be the homepage when it was indexed first, already ranked higher in the serps, and has the inbound links coming directly at it. Also, there are multiple interior pages in the results for many of these domains. That would also seem to rule out the theory of 1.

Like mentioned above, would need to see the site to know for sure.

Thanks for the info today

Its so many factors that could lead to this. You may have duplicate content on your homepage, or you may just need to throw more links at it. Like others have said, we would need to see the page.
