  Brent Wildman: It's hard to tell without taking an in depth look at your site. Do you have any exact/approximate dates to when all this took place? And when you say your website "ranked", for what keywords?

  Chris Edwards: Since 4 years ago and today, Google has released ALOT of updates, know as the Penguin and Panda updates. These updates were to improve search quality, removing sites that ranked for terms that Google did not feel they actually represented. I went to your site and checked your content. You do have content on your homepage, however, it is copied from another website, greenvilleave.org to be specific. Google frowns upon copied/duplicate content, which could be one of the factors causing your site to not rank well. Try creating some original content utilizing the keywords you are looking to rank for. ;

  Diginabled: What is the phrase you ranked for previously? I searched for [Dallas Greenville Avenue] and your site appeared. In this scenario your site ranks partly because it exactly matches your domain name. Your site has very few external links and they all come from directories. Links from directories have been devalued for some time now. There are plenty of changes to be made however my recommendation would be to start with content. Ensure all your pages carry unique content that visitors will want to share and link to. ;
