Need some serious help folks

I created a website http://www.horror-fiction.info a few months ago, and have been getting steady increases in visitors since then. Now, I'm averaging about 50 visits per day, not a lot, but not really bad either.

Here's the problem. When I first started, all of my pages were indexed in Google. I even made it to the first page on some obscure terms. However, since then the site has grown a whole lot and most of my pages are not showing up.

To make this even more frustrating, many of my first pages that used to show up in Google, are not indexed. I don't know how this happened. I certainly didn't remove them nor did I spam Google.

Right now, I'm in the process of trying to build links to these missing pages through forums, blogs, and other websites, hoping the spiders will crawl them again and put them back on Google.

Does anyone have any idea how this happened? Keep in mind, my home page is still listed in Google as well as several others. But many of my pages are not, and I'm really confused why the older ones aren't there anymore.

Any help, advice, assistance or tips is greatly appreciated.

From what you mentioned, you seem to have a fairly new site. If that is the case then it is normal to have your pages appear and then disappear from the Google search results. It happened to me and probably many others on the forums.

Just give it time, continue to write content, and you will eventually see your pages return in the search results.

Goodness, you don't know the weight you've just taken off my shoulders. I hope you're right, and yes my site is fairly new. Actually opened May 19th, that's just about 3 months. Okay...I can breathe easier now.

Once again, thanks a lot.
