    Hi everybody,

    I just lost INSTANTLY my rankings !

    I was ranking very good for some keywords ... and now nothing !

    If I search for my domain name it doesn't appear first !

    I've checked site:www.mysite.com .... ok it's indexed

    i've checked link:www.mysite.com ... the links are still there like before

    I've logged in my webmaster central account :
    Googlebot last successfully accessed your home page on Feb 8, 2008.

    PS : i'm working now on my website to validate it !

    Please tell what could be the issue

    The site may have been penalised.

    How old is the site ?

    Some newer sites tend to rank well initially for a certain keyword, and are then given the boot by Google.

    You could have been penalised too.

    If you violate their guidelines openly, you could be inviting trouble.

    For example- selling links for PR ;)

    Hidden Links and suspicious redirects are two more reasons.
