All pages disappeared from SERPs overnight!?

    All my pages have disappeared from Google overnight, the only traffic that I'm getting from them now are image related, which has increased by almost double.

    I have been doing some SEO on some of the pages, but apart from that nothing unusual.

    The pages are still indexed, but no SERPs at all. The pages have an average PR4, and there are good incoming links.

    Any suggestions?

    I'd suggest waiting another 24 hours to see if they come back

    Google has gone a little haywire recently, I'd stick tight and carry on what you have been doing...

    Thanks for the reassurance everyone, it's only been 3 days now so I guess I'll just hang in there a bit longer.

    I read a post on a Joomla forum where some guy's site had been hacked and cloaked porn links inserted which Google picked up. He went from 8000 visitors to 100.

    That is a very classic case of a minus penalty, your SERP traffic vanishes but image traffic stays.

    Sorry to say, i wouldn't hold your breath on it just reappearing on it's own. Is there any pattern with your keywords that were on the front page? Are they all in the 100-200 range now?

    There is no pattern at all, and after doing a check with Rank Checker tool, nothing shows up at all for Google and Google.co.uk where I was also ranking.
