Default my listing on google has been hijacked - how can I avoid this?


having spent months learning the hardway with my website add finally getting
a listing in the top five on google. I now note that it has been hijacked by
webtaxi.com and a couple of others! Instead of my url address at the top (for
people to click) it is another's url address with my details underneath! For
example - type in old pine furniture in Breamore (google) and you will see
what I mean - please can you tell me why and how this has happened and more
importantly how can I stop this from happening. Thank you so very kindly
once again. Candy www.oldpine.co.uk info@oldpine.co.uk

Web Taxi has linked your site along with the other links on their
site. You could ask them to remove the link, but they may not agree
to. You can't control ranking based on a collection of words.

On the other hand, a single word "oldpine.co" will give you the top 2,
but still has the others that link to you. I wouldn't complain about
people linking to my site!!

Your site is way toooooooooooooooo wide and is very, VERY slow to load.
Learn how to use tables and plan the width to be about 750 pixels. Here's a
great article:

Some fonts are HUGE!!
