    Site appears on top of the page of google on many keywords. I dont know what happened suddenly traffic drop from 3000 to 400 per day :(

    Site does not appearing on front page of google. Same PR, same number of backlinks. I did not done any modification they why is that? I sent site reconsideration request to google and they replied site reconsidered but nothing happened or change in my traffic. Will you guys help me whats the reason and how could i re-gain my old position in google.

    regards

    You said "Same PR, same number of backlinks" in your last paragraph.
    What happened to Number of indexed pages?
    Does your site still indexed in google?
    You said that your site is getting 400 visitors per day. Well, are you getting these visitors from google? Or direct traffic?
    Any message displayed in webmaster tools?

    Maybe the keyword you using is too competitive and try to build more backlinks such as article marketing,social bookmarking..

    You need constant backlinks, you can't just stop making them.

    This happens when someone else starts ranking higher ont hat niche keywords. On my certain blog posts, I used to rank no.1 but soon when Top 20 Tech blogs posted about same topic, they started ranking higher even when their content was not as detailed as mine.
    Google's backlinking-PR policy isn't always logical. But, that's how it works

    Smae number of backlinks for the last 6 months? That means youhaven't been building links since than. Maybe your competitiors beat you on those keywords. You should carryon building links and adding new content.

    That seems to be a big blow in your traffic stats. You need to check if your blog has been sandboxed or check if any of the other sites which are giving you backlinks are blacklisted ?

    Check to see if your blog has a virus or trojan. If it is contaminated some search engines and browsers will block access without an override to protect the visitor from "catching" your bug.

    Use FireFox and search with Google to see if there are any warnings from that angle.

    The big G is doing a lot with personalization and also shuffling results - I recently had a site drop and I did nothing to repair, just waited it out for 3 days and - it returned to #1
    Also, you may have triggered a filter with a single black back link.
    I recommend to build deep back links to multiple pages, categories and make sure you have a strong internal link structure with keyword links back to your home page.

    number of pages indexed are almost same. 400 visitors from google and 1400+ users from direct traffic.


    how to check blog is sanboxed.

    my traffic was dropped in january, i contact them and my users were returned. But after 30 days same thing happened. Since then traffic is down. I contacted them several time and they reconsidered the site but traffic remain as it is.

    Does placing diff companies ads effects seo, like placing adsense along with cpm networks or inline text ads?

    regards

    Do you have a Sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools. See how many pages are being indexed. Try to resubmit your sitemap.

    How about the keywords SERP?
    This kind of problem normally happen when your major traffic keywords SERP drop

    Virus or trojan ?
    Do you mean some links directing to illegal sites or pop ups on the homepage. How do you check this in IE ?

    i did many times.

    my sites was appeared on front page of google '' nokia games, free nokia games, 5800 applications , etc '' but now when i search using these keywords site does not appear on first 10 pages.



    you can say content is unique because as i mentioned earlier site is based on mobile niche.

    I'm also suggesting this point. Continue the link building campaign.

    No I mean Virus or Trojan. You would have to view your code or reinstall code to overwrite anything that might be added. I have had 2 sites get trojans this last year and still not totally sure how. One is a WordPress install and one of the addons did it.
