Stagnant Sites - Getting De-Indexed?

Recently the past 6 months many of my blogs and web sites have been
being de-indexed by google and most of them have good pagerank (pr4-5)
and lots of good backlinks. The only thing I can think of is that I
haven't done anything new to any of the sites in years and they have
been totally stagnant for the past few years. Does that sound reasonable
to the rest of you out there as the probable cause of these sites being
removed from google's index? If you agree do you think just changing the
titles of all these sites would be enough to get them indexed again or
do you think it would take a change of text too or just some new added
on text to what's already there? I like the idea best of only having to
change the titles as that would be the easiest to do if you think that
would be enough to get them back again? Search engines tend to give a
site's title the greatest weight in the sceme of things so I wonder if
just title changes would be enough? I'm trying to find the laziest,
easiest way out of this if possible and if not I better just roll up my
sleeves and start getting to work.

Try:-
Re-creating your ROR file.
Re-creating your Sitemap file and submitting using Google webmaster tools.
Change a small amount of text and title of your index plus 2 other pages.
Include the 3 pages above in your sig here.

Most likely they are not being removed completely but moved from the main
to the supplemental index. Try to get some new links to them. Even one or
two fresh link every month or so will keep the sites afloat.

On the other hand, it is expected of *every* site to have some percentage
of pages moved into supplemental index anyways, so just pick your most
important pages and concentrate on getting new links to those pages only.

No it is not you who has done something wrong, it is other websites
with keywords optimised on related keywords as yours, whenever google
has indexed you, it remains and maintains the rank and it moves down
only when you havent done something extra and also when someone else
have done something extra (towards optimization). That shifts the
rankings up and down and if there are many such sites doing better
than you then there you go down the drain, no need to change the
content or title, but do add some new content and get some fresh
external links and change some internal links and sentences here and
there, u can be back there. Once you were there, it is not much work
to get back there

Start rolling. I have to do the same, actually, a lot of my pages need
to be reworked so they'll get their old rankings back.

No.
I know of many sites untouched for years that are doing just fine; age is
not a reason for 'deindexing'

First search for "a chunk of unique content from a deep page" - and see if
it appears.

If not, then you need to find out what went wrong.

Start with links; over those six months, many of your incoming links will
have died; worse, many of your outgoing links may have gone bad.

Be ruthless; but treat your site as a 'sick site', and give it a careful
review.

First things first - but not necessarily in that order.

I disagree. Not the first time, is it, Andrew?
