i was ranking great in google. my site is semi-new and unfortunately, my server went down yesterday for the bulk of the day and it was about time for them to re-cache my site. so i check my rankings today and i've dropped from the front page and im no where close to the first 10 pages. could it be because they went to my site and it was down and its too new to be really trusted? i just submitted a new sitemap so they'll send the bots back soon. think it will get better? thanks.
Well, if it was because of the host being down, you will see site coming back up in a few days...!! More likely google changed something in the algo, dropped a few backlinks and your site went down in the serps..!! I love google but I just don't rely on it to show my website at certain position in the next hour..
