Hi guys I had a site ranked in 4th position for 2 weeks. It has suddenly vanished off google pages. The site is about 3 weeks old and basically got instant ranking with keyword optimization on my web page and a few back links. I hear Google do this all the time and it should re-appear. It has been 5 days now and still no sign off it. i checked it my url and its still indexed. Have i been punished or something? Any suggestions? Thanks
As you said your site is new so Google always quickly pick new sites when it's indexing but after some time it will be invisible from SERPS and now you need to work hard on your targeted keywords and increase there back links then your site will be come back and here is no punishment or penalize, it's google algorithm, Google loved unique content that's why he pick every fresh and unique content base websites.
your page got sandboxed . Google gives a boost to fresh websites . Don't worry , your site should reappear in SE . Add some fresh content and ping your website . Also you can social bookmark it , I suggest you to use digg . Google adores digg , my digged sites gets indexed in 24h .
