    I registered the domain on 08-Oct-2010.
    Three weeks ago i started creating content and link building.
    I done do-follow blog commenting and about 160 web directory submission.
    On blog comments i used my name and where it was possible i used the main keyword. I don't think i done more then 100 approved comments.
    On directory submission i used the same keyword and i was approved in max 50 i think and very few of those web directories pages were indexed.

    A few days ago i started ranking from nowhere on page 9 for that keyword and i was very happy. To be sure there is not something that shows only to me i cleared history and cookies from another browser and i searched for that keyword, same results. To be even more sure i put a some friends to check, same for them.

    Yesterday i checked again and i couldn't find my site even in page 30, now i searched again and the same result :( I am very disappointed and i don't know what should i do and what is the problem. Please guys with experience, give me advices :(

    I never encountered this problem to any of my sites and i always used the same link building strategy.

    Thanks for reading and i hope you will give me some good advices :)

    I find that this can happen with directory submissions. It happened to me but not as drastic. I went and submitted to alot of directorys (not as many as you though) at first as my submissions was accepted i was boosted up in the results, then a few days later as some of the less reputable directory's accepted the submissions i started to drop in the results. All i can suggest is try your hardest to get backlinks on websites that are of the same nature as yours. As related backlinks are worth a lot in the eyes of google.

    After how long your website got back in SERPs for that keywords? Someone told me that i done spamming commenting on blogs, but i left only relevant to topic comments and very well written and the i used only the URL field to put my url :(

    I never fully lost my site just dipped down a couple of positions. Is your site relevant to these blogs you commented on?

    You know that might actually be the answer. Have you tried any EN search results. Also is your site actually listed on google at all any more?

    At least we know your site is not actually sandboxed. Somewhere down the line something you have done has de ranked your site. Only thing i can recommend is keep your head held high and hope you start gaining back up those results. Also i'd recommend a different strategy with your SEO. I personally keep away from blog post commenting. It's all trial and error really. I find different sites benefit from different methods. I would also recommend taking a look at my site which is in my signature. There's more information on the site. also out of interest what is your site about? I might be able to suggest how to generate some decent backlinks. Also how old is your site? One thing to always remember SEO is a long procedure and takes months rather then days to see any real effects from your hard work

    My site is about movie reviews. I registered the domain on 08-Oct-2010 and started working at him three weeks ago.
    Thank you hypokill. I think for now i will just continue to add content to my site (the content is unique) and for a period i will not to link building.

    ah right. A very competitive subject. With a site like that you need to do exactly that. Google thrives on unique content and especially sites that continue to update and add content. Don't target one keywords i.e movie reviews. Target as many as you can in each one of your review pages. Sites like yours will gain popularity through the content you supply. For example you search in google "how to write google blog posts" and chances are you'll get a result which is a blog post about that subject. That blog will then have lets say 100 pages which are in good positions. Hope i've helped in someway

    If your website is in sandbox than it might take lot of time to get into SE again. But now start doing directories submission but do only 30-40directories daily , articles, forums discussion and things like that.

    Hi rahulbatra, thanks for your advice, but are you sure about that? I don't want to do more harm to my site :(
    I also noticed that google doesn't want to index me anymore :( I posted about 4 new unique articles a few days ago (they pass copyscape) and none of them was indexed.

    How old is your site, sounds like the god old Google dance to me, btw, if you are building link from sites that are not in your language, you might want to use the language tag hreflang="" for it ;-) SY

    Less then 2 months. I never encountered this problem. I see the site stabilized for the desired keywords somewhere on page 14 since yesterday. I will wait a couple of days more and if he stays there then i will start link building again, but this time i will try gaining link from sites from my country.

    If the site is young, it is completely normal that it does the Google dance, just continue to add great content and to build links, SY

    Don't waste time with directory submissions. Stick with adding your content. Let your site mature, let google get to know you. Then start going for the quality backlinks not useless directory submissions

    Hey hypokill, welcome back :)
    I'm glad to say that my keyword is ranking on place 14 (for the moment I am getting about 10 UV/day from the desired keyword + another 10 from other keywords) and came up from place 20+ in the last week. No radical drop-downs in the last 2 weeks. Things seems to settle and i hope in short time i will rank on first page.
    I must disagree about directory submission, this is the main back link source i used and i am using + some do-follow comments, but not key-worded unfortunately. I am adding content at 1-2 days and seems ok :)
