Hi all

Can anyone tell me why the following site dropped out of the Google
index?
http://www.project-aid.org

The history of this site:
1. old site was in index
2. site redesign with wordpress http://www.project-aid.org/wordpress
(with redirect from /)
3. site dropped from index
4. moved site from http://www.project-aid.org/wordpress to
http://www.project-aid.org
5. waited months...

Why did Google drop the site?
Did you take the site down for the upgrade? Google drops the site if
it cannot access it.
What can I do to add it again?
You have just done something! Google counts news group posts as
references to your site.

Thanks for your help!

Line 14: <meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' /> would be one
reason.

Strange robots.txt as well:
# BEGIN XML-SITEMAP-PLUGIN
Sitemap: http://project-aid.org/sitemap.xml.gz
# END XML-SITEMAP-PLUGIN

Head on over to Google Webmaster Tools for more information on site
maps.
