How did I go non-existant in Google?

How did I go from being on the 2nd and 4th pages when searching; soap making tutorials, soap making tutorial to being non-existant??

the site is www.smftutorials.com

 

Could be they sandboxed your site or it could be that they are re-working the serps and you'll eventually see it come back most likely.

 

that would be awesome.... what would "sandboxed" mean??

 

1. When check your site domain age. Your site is only 2 months 1 day old. It is clearly the ranking your site ranked was in "HoneyMoon Period" which is a common for a new site like you. Your site will be existed for a while before being pushed to sandbox and climb up.

2. Your site has 0 link popularity in Google according to link: operator. This also may be a cause of this.

3. When view your page source code. I found your meta keywords is likely a spamming. Please check your meta keywords and remove some of those huge keywords you listed. Some of them are not even appeared in your page content. This could hurt your ranking in a long run. You shouldn't just put every keywords you wanted. Meta keywords cannot help you much since Google does ignore this element for a years, but it could hurt you "a lot" if you do spam on it.

 

okay, thanks for the tips.... Yeah some of the content keywords have pages, some of them do not yet, but will in the future.... I will be reworking this site in a few days to fix it up..

I saw somewhere that if you do this search:

site:yoursite.com -asdf -asdf -asdf -fdsa -sadf -fdas -asdf -fdas -fasd -asdf -asdf -asdf -fdsa

and your site comes up , your in the sandbox?? so I guess that means I am...



EDIT: its real weird though, I mean I could search for a (unique-written-by-be) direct quote on my site, and it wont even show me up in the search for THAT???

 

wooooooaaah I guess Im out of the sandbox now as I am the THIRD website listed for both of my targeted keywords, soap making tutorial and soap making tutorials!!! cooooooooooooooooool!!!WoooooW

site: www.smftutorials.com

 

That means @sxperm was right, as your site is new google is still shuffling some of your keyword search from different pages. Wait for a week more now and check again if you get the same result (3rd website for both targeted keywords) then it means that your keyword search has been stable and you can enjoy being on the third position

 

Nice job - congrats! I hope it only goes higher from there.

 

sweeeet yeah I have to still take some of the irrelevant keywords out... Been a busy month as Ive been away from my workstation
