    Hi everybody,

    I just lost INSTANTLY my rankings !

    I was ranking very good for some keywords ... and now nothing !

    If I search for my domain name it doesn't appear first !

    I've checked site:www.mysite.com .... ok it's indexed

    i've checked link:www.mysite.com ... the links are still there like before

    I've logged in my webmaster central account :
    Googlebot last successfully accessed your home page on Feb 8, 2008.

    PS : i'm working now on my website to validate it !

    Please tell what could be the issue ? :confused:

    How old is your site (i.e. how long has it been indexed for)?

    What have you been doing to develop its ranking?

    Have you been doing anything you shouldn't have (be honest ;))?

    Answers to those questions will allow people to give you a more accurate answer.

    it's been indexed for 1 year and 3 months

    getting links from other pages, and my internal pages (i haven't spammed with nothing)

    i've sponsored BOTW for almost 8 months now ... i'm sure this is 100% right

    I was no.1 for one keyword since october 2007

    Hi, i had the same thing happen to me a few months ago for a niche website of mine, and for whatever reason the ranking keywords seemed to dissapear, and it got me worried, but all was fine again within 48 hours and is still making me money......
    Give it a day or so and see if it rectifies itself, could be just a hiccup in google at the moment, time will tell, as you have said, you have done nothing wrong..

    Hi,
    This is (sorry to say that) n00b issues, i mean - every one should know that Search Engines, and the big of them Google play with the DC's and your rank can be gone for 1/50 hours.

    Just relax and keep doing your content work ;)

    Funnily enough one of mine has just disappeared today at 15:30 gmt. Exactly same symptoms as NYDAz. Previously number 1 term is now at number 64 and no terms are ranking AT ALL over position 44.

    Want to hear the worst thing about it? I had an interview for a job I really wanted. Interview went fine, but as I was on the way home, I had a call for me to go back. They were checking the site I finished working for recently and it was nowhere on the serps.The interviewers were not happy. So the site was solid for two years now, and on the same day/hour of my interview for a new job Google decide to drop it. Thanks big G!

    hmmm... very similar results to mine. Reall hope this is not a penalty. Do you have ANY phrases that you rank better then around 40? I bet you dont.

    Well it happened to me the first week of Jan and for the "noob issues" it hasn't come back yet. So only 45 days so far with no rankings better than 20. This is not a noob thing, this is a major issue with Google this year that nobody knows anything about. Everyones guessing its penalties, link selling/buying, age of site, more quality links which is the one I like 12,00, 50,000, 100,000 links are never enough :)

    You have the right to be concerned if you stayed steady for a year or 2.

    I had steady traffic since july 2007 ! I think it's very ok !

    And for that number 1 spot in Google nobody beat me since october 2007 ! and now from number 1 to number 60-70 ?

    WHAT IS GOING ON !!!!

    My site was indexed first in december 2006 ! 1 year and 2 months ! I think that's a little bit trusty !
