    Hi there,

    One of my websites suddenly lost its ranking for All the keywords in Google. I didn't do any Spamming or Prohibited practices to rank in Google.

    I only do directory submissions and rarely links exchanges with related websites.

    I am very upset can any expert tell me what's the problem behind it.

    Is there any way to solve this issue?

    I will be really thankful for any help from the experts at DP.

    Thanks

    Its happened many times before to me when my sites sometimes lose rankings ad there is a sharp drop in traffic for about a few days and then its all back to normal. I think its the system just updating itself. If your site has been around for a while and you constantly rank high for those terms then i think you'll be back.

    I do know that Google is targetting paid for directories etc quite hard so if you've submitted to a lot of these then you 'may' have been hurt in terms of rankings.

    Do let us know how you get on....

    Thanks

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the replies.

    All keywords have stopped working.

    My site was ranked for some very competitive keywords. For one good keyword my site was no. 1 in Google.

    I was on the first page for many keywords but now no keyword is working.

    I checked approximately 10 pages of Google but couldn't find any keyword.

    I never bought paid links or paid directory submissions.

    I only do free directory submissions and the links exchanges with related website.

    The website in question is in my signature links.

    Any help please.

    Regards
    bushib

    one of my sites dropped from the SERPs, but is still in the index.
    i used google watch to see what's going on and
    allins shows that the site is still there, just the main url is not in the SERPs

    p.s.

    hope it's not something serious.

    Hey that might be the problem. You might have to find out because it seems that maybe you have been hit with a G penalty. If you are not on page 1 or page 2 then its a site wide penalty. You are doing something wrong, I would review my inbound links and the sites that I link to to see if any are looking spammy or blog farmish.

    Then remove them from your link exchange.
