    WTF?? I was ranking on the first page for the last 4 days for like 9 of my keywords (they are not that competitive) And up until an hour ago I was ranked!! Now I type in any of these keywords and my site is nowhere to be found!!!! What the hell happened?
    I cant image it getting banned, I havent done anything wrong that I can think of... plus it still shows some results for the website name itself.

    Any ideas?? Im in panic mode!!!!! HELP

    Is the site fairly new? It has been mentioned in this forum that sometimes when a site is new it gets high rankings right out of the gate for a week or two.. Than after that it can drop back into the shuffle of a million other websites.

    Than at that point there is no where to go but up... LOL


    Only one way to go - Keep looking up - The sky is the limit - Hold You head up - Hold your head high! :D

    Yes the site is only like 2 weeks old... :( I was kind of excited when it was ranking so high.. I guess I just have to do more work.. I guess this proves that theory.. Grrrrrr
    Its like setting high hopes.

    New sites will get an initial boost for their keywords. Then they drop... and you hafta SEO just like the rest of us.

    same thing happened to some of my lenses they reach first page in 3 days
    then collapse in 2weeks you just got to keep buiding those backlinks

    I think they did this across the board? My sites are nowhere to be found tonight
    Mine are pretty new as well, so it's probably like everyone is saying

    I would assume it's just a routine updating of backlinks; check your SERPs in a couple of days and let us know if your position was reinstated. :)

    Sometimes that happens. It happened to my site too especially when there was a positive jump in the position, it would disapper from the SERPs for a while and come back later at a better position.

    It's just part of the Google Dance. Crazy, I know, but that's just the way it is. Kind of plays with the mind! :D
