Eric, this will not help with your old site, but may be of help with the new one. You or someone stated something about spiders(robots). When I took HTML course a year ago, we were taught about META tags. Now, if you use meta keywords then it won't help. But, if like me, I would rather lose a few viewers than have the problems, when designing your new site add in the meta tag for the robots. You could also put contact info on a different page than front page which is what I do.
Examples:
[Meta name="robots" content="none"]
(This tells the spider not to index any of your files, this is the one that I use most often)
[Meta name="robots" content="noindex"]
(This tells the spider not to index the PAGE, but it will follow links on that page, unless you tell it not to specifically, which leads to the next meta tag)
[Meta name="robots" content="nofollow"]
(Instructs the spider not to follow any links on that page)
To use, change the [] to <>.
As I said, will not help current situation, but it may help in the future.
