Disappearing from Google: Google servers getting a timeout?

    Hi all,

    Since a few days ago, my site has not been appearing in Google anywhere near as well as it did before. My rankings were 4-5 for the keyword "Weersvoorspelling", but not anymore. Now, my site doesn't even rank in the top 500 for that keywod. The site is http://tinyurl.com/2djyboq, by the way.

    I have been doing some research, and the crawling statistics in Webmaster Tools have not plumitted, they are the same as usual. Except for a few days ago: Google suddenly crawled about 6 times as many pages as usual.

    My site performance hasn't changed either: according to google it's still in the top 4% pages in terms of loading time.

    There is one thing that got my attention tho: I checked the W3C Link Checker (http://validator.w3.org/), and my site surprisingly returned:
    The strange is tho, that I myself can access my site, and checking my site with another tool (http://www.seoconsultants.com/tools/headers), I get an HTTP/1.1 200 OK code.

    My site is valid through the HTML validator from W3C.

    Could it be that I myself can read my site just fine, but W3C (and Google perhaps) servers are getting a 500 Internal server error, which might be causing my sudden drop in SERP?

    FYI:
    - I have not checked the W3C Link checker before the sudden drop in SERP.
    - My site is still indexed (using site:[domain])


    Thanks in advance and with kind regards,

    Jesper

    Kind regards,

    Jesper

    if broken links in your site. correction if my answer is wrong. maybe your site just caches on google index.
