Has google recently changed its algorithms because my ranks have gone

I used to be int he top 10 for over 20 keywords related to my site.

The site had around 13 unique articles, the pages were keyword optimised and got into the top 10 easily enough for about 2 weeks. Then last thursday google must of done something as i have dropped deep into googles results. Pages 60 plus for some and totally vanished for others.

The domain is only around a month old and has a few backlinks according to google webmaster tools but none display in google when i enter link:goldelement .info

Anybody got any ideas or know whats going on as i have heard its happened to a few people

 

I think now the pr is easy down also easy up, especially for new site

 

yeah its a new site so have no pr but hopefully might be able to get some for the next update which knowing google will in late 2012

 

My site was completely dropped from googles search results. It is about 2 months old and I had received 660 hits from google so far and then on the 13th it went missing from google search results.

 

I don't think google change its algorithm that often. I have heard a lot of people lose their ranking every month. do you think google engineer are that easy to be manipulated that they have to change their algorithm all the time?

 

I think I figured out my problem. I had another domain pointing to the same site and recently moved it. I think google marked the domain that I wanted to be the main one as the copy.

 

The best way to solve this is either contact your support (hosting), or use 301 redirections.

 

The sandboxing algorithms might be affecting your sites since they are all new.
