    I have the same problem. My blogspot blog has completely vanished out the SERPs. And I was updating it on a daily basis.

    Faced the same problem. I thought it was just me till I came across this thread. Why is google targeting its own service though

    I really hope this is only temporary.

    this is probably a temporary situation, much like the "google dance" in my opinion

    If it is a temporary situation, it would be nice if Google addressed it and let everyone know.

    My main earning blog was #1 and yesterday it dropped to #56

    But I had changed the title of the blog 3 days ago like a moron. I changed it back and am waiting to see if it gets back up there.

    Maybe it was not because of the title change??

    Yes. DITCH BLOGSPOT!

    But do you have any idea how long it would take to get up to the #1 spot for the top two keywords people use to search for my site? I was making $100/day and yesterday only made $48

    :mad:

    I don't know how much, I think until the spammers give up or until they develope something that detect spammers.

    anyway you may want to read on this:
    blogspot "blogger" blogs lost search traffic personal experience.

    Yes yesterday was really bad day for some of my blogs with original and unique content but I have just checked this morning and it seems that everything is fine now.
    More than 80% of my traffic on those blogs were from google so it was huge drop in traffic for that blogs.

    Same problem with my blog too. Traffic fell within one night from 1000 to 500 page view.
    But it's normal again now :D

    I've got a network of blogs hosted by blogger (blogspot).
    They were all (almost) kicked out of Google serps for a few hours yesterday whatever the keywords I may tried.

    But everything is back as normal by now. Fortunately!

    Two interesting points though:

    - I noticed that my central blog which is hosted by Blogger but using a real domain name in dot com wasn't concerned bythe drop. So I would think it was a rank/serp recalculation affecting the whole blogspot.com domain and its subdomains too.
    --> Having one's own domain name gave immunization against the drop.

    - as almost no blogs of myne appeared in Google Serps I had a sudden decrease in my traffic. But in contrary to my first thought that it would negatively impact my income, it didn't because my eCPM has doubled during the drop period. And is still high since my blogs are back in google serps.
    So as a result I'm having a really good day. :)
    --> this leads me to think about a potential new strategy to trick the eCPM (still have to verify it again):
    if eCPM is going down again (while CTR and traffic remain constant), I'll block incoming visitors from Google search engine (by catching the referrer via javascript), for let's say 5 or 9 hours log, and will check what happens to my eCPM, I'll keep you posted about the results.

    But did someone else experienced the same increase in eCPM following the drop in serps?
