Hi Garry,
I have had a worsening problem over the past 6 months, that has come to a head and I now need to solve this. I was hoping you could allay some fears and perhaps point me in the right direction.
My problem: On very specific keywords, despirte being the cheapest, and the closest geographically, and the closets match word for word in the title, most of my products do not rank on the first page of google search where as 6 months ago I was pretty much at the top for most of my products.
Even on products that I rank on the first page of google organically, I cannot rank in product search unless i set the codes up to go into the compare prices sections. And when I get into the compare sections i rank at the bottom of those, again despite being the cheapest and where I i used to rank 1st 6 months ago. I have looked at all the online info re this and I am doing everything correctly, plus your feed is setup to deliver way more info than anyone else does, and meets the positive requirements to get a boost through deliberate data stuffing (white hat method).
So my thoughts are this:
Perhaps google has taken a disliking to my site, although I doubt this as I rank high in organic search.
Perhaps goole has taken a dislike to the IP address that the data is sent from... Does the data go to them via yours or my server????
Perhaps there is a simple item missing in the feed which google is looking for, perhaps a better title, description, or maybe it doesn't like the generator, or the store image or title (Yours not mine), or maybe i'm missing the company name. See below

I'm really at a loss and was hoping that seeing as though you see a lot more of your feeds than I do, you could perhaps point me in the right direction.
What I can't understand is that I used to rank 1st... and now it's gone very bad.
It was this search on google UK shopping for a Scubapro Xtek Donut Wing that maid me realise just how bad it was. I rank at the bottom of the page in compare prices tab. It's like this for most of my products.
Can you help?
