My web hosting is with Ipowerweb. Previously I was on a cPanel server and had 200 Megs of storage available to me. I switched to a newer, faster vDeck server with 10 Gigs of storage. Before I switched I asked if my search engine positioning would change. I was told it would not and it shouldn’t have since all that was changing were essentially the DNS pointers to my domain. Prior to the switch my main page http://www.ravencues.com/ and my AgoraCart main page http://www.ravencues.com/Agora/agora.cgi both showed up on the first or second page of almost all my relevant search engine searches. Most importantly that is how it was with Google. That was cool, but when I switched to the new server things changed. In fact, when I made the switch my main page positioning did not change, but my AgoraCart main page fell off Google and the other search engines entirely. I am unhappy to say the least.
Most of my website was just copied to the new server and functioned as it had previously. AgoraCart was copied over but did not work, for whatever reason. Maybe I didn’t have to but I reinstalled it. It seemed like the most practical use of time.
When I first installed AgoraCart (on the old server) the installation was to a subdirectory of public_html. I don’t remember why it was installed there and not to cgi-bin? But, when I tried to install to the same directory (on the new server) I couldn’t do it. So far as I could tell I had to install to the cgi-bin directory http://www.ravencues.com/cgi-bin/Agora/agora.cgi .
Is this why my AgoraCart page doesn’t show up on searches anymore? Google has indexed the page, but it doesn’t show up like most of the other web pages do. Instead of the normal Title and Description there is just the URL. See below.
A normal Google page:

Is there anything I can do to make the AgoraCart page show up on search engines again? The switch was about a month ago.
