Fluctuation in Google Ranking for the past 3 months

    Hi,

    I have been experiencing big changes in my site's ranking in the last 3 months.

    My website had Google's sitelink for the keyword cheap cell phones and was ranking #1 till december 3, 2008 and monthly visitors were 30k.

    But since then it ranking has dropped and my main keyword "cheap cell phones" goes from #55,then to #40, and then to #65, this is a big fluctuation.

    It has also affected all the other keywords that were previously ranking in the top 10 and they too are doodling around SERPs between page 4 to 7

    Unable to give you URL due to client obligations. And i know it would be difficult to advice without url. Please advice in general what i should do as the site wasn't change much from the time it was having good ranking. This was a sudden drop from a daily visit of 1169 (Dec 2, 08) to 105 (Dec 3, 08)...The site does have redirect links to affiliate websites. Never purchased or sell links. Does reciprocal linking with related websites, free directories submissions, articles etc. The ranking was stable for around a year and daily visits were 600 to 1200. 39# position is the best rank it has achieved since December and sometimes ranking changes by using capital letters and by just a refresh button puts the website in the 7th page from 4th page

    Does anyone have an idea what happening to my site?

    Do you have any suggestions what steps should be taken?

    Thank you

    I have seen exactly same on one of my sites starting from early Dec too and now again. In the top page serps (page1-2) a few days a week then back above page 20 for rest of week. Can not figure out what the heck to do with the site anymore.
