    Hi there,

    I just checked that my ranking in Google has been lost for many keywords.

    Is the Google's index being updated?

    How to regain the lost ranking?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Regards

    I've noticed a few changes in the positions to a few of my sites. Some have dissappeared completely.
    Whats weird is that when I used to a search for the domain name .... sitename.com, it would appear at the top, along with the sitelinks that Google shows. Now, for the same domain, it no longer shows the sitelinks for a search of my domain, though when I check in my Webmasters Tools in my Google account, it does show me my site links for the site.

    Most likely, an update is definately going on, though this one is slightly different from those that occured throughout the rest of this year.

    Anyway else NOT seeing their sitelinks appearing, even though they are visiable in the Webmasters Tools section ??

    I am currently experiencing this too. I ranked number 1 or 2 for a big adult term and also had authority for a term - I've just lost both and am now on page 17!!! Weirdness...

    yea we've got sitelinks in the panel but not showing again now, but we/ve altered pages slightly and i think stability helps with those.

    this is much deeper than that tho.

    There is a wide range of strange stuff going on this week. My advice to everyone is to chill for a bit ;)

    Well for my site, I have not altered anything, I haven't done any huge link building - in fact - I haven't done anything really different to it to have caused any type of affect. Either its a temporary thing, or Google have really gone and changed their alo again. Would be interesting to see how this all pans out over the next few days.

    All I can honestly say is that my site is basically how it was 2 months ago. If I have been punished for not updating it - then thats fair. If not, I'm very curious as to what is happening.


    Nigel - I don't have any plans to get too stressed our wound up at the moment. Its just a very unusual update compared to the others over the past 12 months or so. As always - time will tell. Let the waiting game begin. I've has sites disappear from G before, but in the end, they always end up back where they were. Its just more of an inconvenience when it happens.

    You should just keep adding pages of content and build up back links. Overtime you will gain rank.

    Looks (until now) a bit like content will gain importance.

    hmmm im noticing a trend that on a few people's sites that those with links from backlinks.com sites (and others?)

    are definitely seeing a problem.

    also, on those same sites, links for other keyword terms are unnafected.

    a big pattern, but on a small number of sites - 3 to be exact - but they all show the same pattern.

    Something similar has happened to my sites. Many of them with good ranking have gone from first page. I hope that something went wrong with this update and will be corrected soon....

    Hi,

    This sudden and huge change in SERPs is dramatic and most likely due to updations.

    I hope lost ranking will be back after the updation is completed.
