    Hey guys
    I am a newbie in seo but i think am learning fast.
    The problem is that my site in webmaster tools is getting deindexed.
    I can find the urls in a site: search but the serps have changed alot over 100 places.
    What i have done till know and what do you think has caused this problem?

    BTW my site is nearly 2 months old and all original content and product descriptions

    1)Reciprocal links... range from (0-4)
    2)One way links through an automatic backlinks(i manually choose the links i want so that they are not badneibourhoods)
    3)directory submissions around 50
    4)added my site to some evaluate site sites,alexa,quantcast valuatesite blblabla around 30
    5)articles to ezineartcles 3-4,hubpages 3,squidoo lense
    6)press releases
    7)rss feeds
    8)froogle
    9)sponsored listing in Joeant.com pr6 directory

    Recently i have changed all my category subcategory names my title tags alt tags meta descriptions because the keywords i used ranked me first for cr&ppy keywords not worth it (it was a kind of test for me to see if i can rank easily)
    I use good anchor text for the keywords i want to target having from 100searches to 20000 a month..

    Why am i rapidly getting lower number of urls in webmaster tools showing up in my sitemap and my product pages getting better serps(around the 100 mark)than my categories and subcategories(that were around the 30-60 mark) rather than vise versa like before?

    If you can find yor site with site: search - then it is not deindexed. It simply ranks not well.

    There is a feature with Google. It gives a short-time boost to new websites for a while - that is, ranks them higher than they normally would. Google does this to evaluate the potential of a website. After a shortwhile, it adds a website to the sandbox - that is artificially dampens its rank. I guess this is what happened to you - a boost, then the sandbox.

    It is being argued if the sandbox exists or not, but the effect it brings was noticed by thousands of webmasters and SEOs.
