What happened to Google ?

    Yesterday my site completely dropped from google cache. Backlink is still fine but with site:www.abcd.com shows nothing. Until yesterday it was maintaining top ranking with the most competitive keywords and last PR update it got PR 5. Today my site is nowhere. Is it something that I have to worry about it or it is just temporary problem?

    It may just be a temporary thing. One of my page 1 sites disappeared yesterday but has just turned up again in it's normal place.

    When someone finally figures out why this happens they will be rich.

    I see some sites do this every now and then. If you did not do any blackhat seo work you should be fine.

    Sometimes the google bot refreshes its data, since there are multiple data centers and a complex algorithm involved certain parts of the indexing go offline for a certain period of time. At least this is how it was explained. Google also removes some garbage sites from the mix when this happens. Of course the algorithm is ever changing so nobody really knows exactly how it works.... at least that's my understanding from what I've read on the subject.

    I had 3 sites drop out on Monday night. They still aren't back. Let me know when and "if" your site pops back in so I can make the firm decision that I am royally screwed!

    All my 3 sites have been dropped in last 2 days. There are many other sites that have lost lots of indexed pages lately.

    Exactly same thing happened to two of my websites exactly the same day as it happened to you. I think there was some technical error in Google. My site completely dropped from index. It is back in index, but nowhere to find for important keywords.

    It seems that quite often when people here complain about a huge drop, there sites are somehow spammy or greyhat. So I will say quite often I am happy about the updates. Hopefully that isn't the case for you, but I don't have any idea about your sites.

    Would you consider your sites whitehat and useful for users (not just mfa, etc...) ?
