    Hopefuly this is the right section...

    I have a site: http://beyondcreditnow.com

    The site is about 2 months old and up until last thursday, I was ranking in the
    top 10 for about 5 of my main keywords and about 50 long-tail keywords in the Top 5... Then all of a sudden they all dropped in ranking any where from 300-1000. So not Traffic

    Is this common with a new site?

    I also did a site design change.. Started with a 3 column design, was getting
    decent google traffic but my CTR was low.. Changed to a 2 column design so my Adsense ads would show in the far left hand column.. My CTR nearly tripled with the same amount of traffic... Then about 3 days later after the change, lost all of my Rankings....

    Could the site change been the problem or just the newness of the site?

    All pages are still indexed...

    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated...

    FYI-- This is my first ever site built, so be honest.

    Brian

    This should be in the seo forum what you're experiencing is called
    the google dance and it happens with all new sites, if you
    keep on building backlinks your rankings will become
    more stable over time.
