    I had downtime in my blog for some days and today when i checked out in google for some terms that i use to top in google i found they my site is lost. The page is indexed but may be too back. Previously i was in #1 position in google for some keywords and terms now i am completely lost. Because of this traffic in my site also decreased. Is there any way i can go back to the top ? if possible how .

    how old is your blog ?
    it could have been google's honeymoon period ... don't worry too much about it and continue writing content and building links

    I know something happened last week, where many site's serp disappear, mine included. It happened on Friday for me and I still haven't recovered from it.

    its mean your site is sandboxed. try to differentiate your anchor, dont use the same anchor text for link.

    Don't be so sure about that. Just because a website pops out of the index in all of a sudden - it doesn't automatically mean it's in the Google Sandbox.

    I actually think Google threw your website out temporary, but for other reasons. Keep adding content, and building links that look natural - and you'll see that your website will rank where it should be ranking in the near feature. Good luck!

    Hi,

    In my own experiences, keeping blog up to date with original niche relative posts would be the essential issue for being a successful blog.

    all the best,

    The is completely normal for a new site. You can initially rank well for some terms for a short period of time and then will completely fall out of the rankings. This is because your site is new. It can take 3 to 12 months or more to start ranking well depending on the keyword. Just keep adding quality content and try to get backlinks from related and trusted sites.

    Guys I think you're all missing the simplest point completely...He said he had downtime for a few days..Google doesn't like downtime. My host changed it's nameservers and the email went to my junk folder so I had a mortgage site ranked at number 1 just completely drop out because of the downtime it experienced.

    Pri2h don't worry, it will come back once Google realises it was only temporary downtime...my site came back to number 2 though instead of 1. Maybe Googles way of saying "we don't completely trust you not to have downtime yet"

    If your site has downtime for some days it could really affect your rankings. But make sure that your site will no longer have downtime so get back to its previous rankings.

    All you CAN be sure of is that if you give up now, it will NEVER rank.

    All it comes down to how many days do you define "for a few days", normally Google won't just drop you to nowhere for just a day or two BUT, if your website is down for more than week or two, that's may cause you to drop in the rankings.

    thanks for all the suggestions, is there any way to know if my site is sandboxed or not ? my site in 4months old. Some post used to top in google for keywords. i have only linked to 1 site of mine . I had downtime for around 4 days due to server issue it wasn't down all the time.
    I'm using wordpress and using site map plugin for sitemap ,
    my sitemap http://nepallica.com/sitemap.xml

    Just keep on blogging. Google might not have deindexed your site but you were just outranked. Keep on building links towards your site and updating.

    Build some back links to your site and ad more contents to your site.
