Blog disappears from Google after new Post

Hi all,

My site is Lower Blood Pressure

I’ve noticed that my Google search results for previously well-indexed keywords seem to die completely within 12 hours of creating a new Post. This does not seem to happen when I create Pages, and it does not happen if I just do nothing.

Although the entire site is still indexed by Google, the keyword searches just do not find me.

For instance – if you type in ‘purchase lotrel’ you get my site in the #2 position of 407,000 results!

Next, I create a new Post … and … poof – gone.

It normally takes about 3 – 4 days for the same keyword searches to re-appear. I normally get 90% of my traffic from Google so when I’m not found everything grinds to a halt!

I recently upgrade to WP V2.3.2 but I haven’t tried any new Posts since.

The only clue is that I get a few MySQL errors generated when trying to create a new Post, but the Post does appear immediately after reloading the site. I would appreciate any help as it’s causing me to hesitate about posting new content. Thanks.

This is the listing of the errors generated after trying to create the last post on ‘Sleep Apnea’
