    This morning i saw that my site olympicbeijing2008games.com

    is being penalized again. it was ranking ok for its age (its a new site).
    however it just don't rank for the keywords it used to rank.

    can somebody help me here?

    take a look at the offsite factors.

    it's not online factor problem IMO.


    Thanks

    It is difficult to perceive whether it is penalty or not.

    I would recommend you to post following :-

    a) Keyword for which it was ranking on top
    b) Search engine ( regional / global )
    c) Did you make any changes in your website in the past few days ( before seeing a drop on Google)

    However, I do not necessarily think that your site has receive any sort of penalty. Your website is listed on page 11-15 for "Olympic Games Beijing".

    It could be possible that other competitor websites are receiving more backlinks which might have pushed your site down to page 11-15.

    "it was ranking ok for its age (its a new site)."

    New sites have a New content Boost which help them rank well in google as google love new content.

    But this high ranking dont last for long, and after few days, you will see a decrease in search results ranking for new sites.

    I checked my backlinks... I have 471 backlinks and my site is 16 days old..

    this makes average of 33 per day. It should be normal. But still I'm not ranking for the keywords i did.

    These are the search queries that my site was ranking for the last week:

    # % Query Position
    1 12% 2008 olympics wikipedia 5
    2 12% beijing olympics wiki 8
    3 11% beijing olympics wikipedia 4
    4 11% "www olympic" "games com" 7
    5 5% china olympics wiki 7
    6 5% beijing 2008 wikipedia 7
    7 5% 2008 olympics wiki 8
    8 4% sportsworld beijing 6
    9 3% beijing olympic games wikipedia 4
    10 3% beijing olympics 2008 wikipedia 4
    11 3% wikipedia beijing 2008 8
    12 3% sportyahoo 3
    13 3% olympic games 2008 23
    14 3% wikipedia beijing olympics 4
    15 3% bejing 2008 wikpedia 5
    16 3% olympic 2008 products 5
    17 3% 2008 olympic games wikipédia 6
    18 3% buy 2008 beijing olympic products 11
    19 2% beijing 2008 wiki 8
    20 2% beijing olympic clothes 10

    Check them out and tell me if you have any ideas what is going on.

    I agree with angilina, it's very difficult to maintain top ranking for a competitive keyword with a new site. Your rankings will become more stable over time.

    Serps moves regularly and you keeps on going up and down. For such a new site, any statement can not be made that u got penalized
