Brainstorming Session
Possible reasons for downfall of aboutus pages rank in google search are:
- Google penalizing bot generated data
- Change of title. For example, 'facebook.com - AboutUs' to 'facebook.com - AboutUs Wiki Page'
- Replicating data from other websites. For example, 'answers.com' rank has dropped significantly. It uses data from wikipedia.
