What happens when you're not looking?

So I came back from summer vacation and found traffic was down on my ESL site. I just went to my stats and looked at the search terms people were using to find my site. "English class" and some variations used to be a big one, but not anymore. I check Google, and where I used to be #1 and 2, I'm now 21 and 22.

Allinanchor I'm 23 and 24, but there's a big problem. The URL ranked #24 is linked to from every page of my site. It should be way ahead of the URL ranked #23 as I have over 3,200 pages indexed by Google. The other page probably has 20-30 pages linking to it. I guess Google stopped paying attention to my footer. That's annoying.

Google doesn't pay much attention to links originating from the same site. They would be stupid to do that!

Just for fun, I tried this google search to see links to your esl pages that don't originate on your www.eslgo.com site.

http://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=%2B%22james+trotta%22+%2Besl+-site%3Awww.eslgo.com

4 out of the top 7 are from your other domain names.

I'm not sure I understand James. Are you saying that http://www.provincia.palermo.it/~istpa052/englishonline/riepilogo/vocabulary/ESL%20go_com's%20free%20online%20Raiders%201%20vocabulary%20quiz.htm is one of my pages?

I've never heard of that page before... But I see now that they are stealing my content. That's a problem!
