My site www.homeloanhawaii.com was established on google for the last 9 months, and 3-4 days ago it totally vanished from the google SERPs. I was previously ranked in the google serps for the terms Hawaii home loan, home loan hawaii, and hawaii home loans at #8-10 held steady for months, in the past 2 weeks i dropped to #20. 3 days ago i dropped out of Google SERPS completely. I am very worried. My site is still indexed with google. just that it is no where to be found in the serps for any of my search keywords. This happened before for about 12 hours with another one of my sites, but never with my lifeline site, and never for this long. What do you think is happening. I still hold top spots on Yahoo for the same search strings. My site again is: http://www.homeloanhawaii.com Here is what a friend thinks: "My site dropped as well, my Michigan site is also indexed but has never been re-included into search results after something like this happened. but the sites didn't go anywhere in yahoo http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=slv1-bkt1&p=hawaii+home+loans that's why I hate Google, they probably identified Hawaii home loans as being a valuable keyword. I noticed that there are now 10 sponsored results when you search for that phrase. could have something to do with it?? anyway, if I find something out I will call and let me know if you find out what happened." Did i do something wrong? if so why is my site still indexed at all? and still showing pagerank? I was using Link Manager, but i even cancelled my account with them as well. Please help me shed some light on the problem thanks, Ben
i heard that is what google is targeting? They are discounting volumes of links with same anchor text?
well... you can be put into "sandbox" if you have too many links, that show up too quickly and have same anchor text
Others have experienced what you're describing. Here is a thread from eleswhere on the topic. IMO, having inbound links with varying anchor text is always a good idea coop or not.
