    Was there a big algorithm update to Google in the last few weeks? A website I manage was sporadically showing up at #3 for a very highly competitive keyword, it was previously on page 2/3, later it then was steady at #3. However, today it has dropped back to its old position.

    Has Google done an algorithm change and then changed it back?

    Google does this from time to time but I haven't noticed anything different in my site.

    We were steady at #3 for 1-2 weeks but now we are on Page 4! I really hope this is temporary :(

    I just searched again and appeared #4. I hope Google make up their mind but choose not to dump us to page 4!

    I think that we need to wait little bit and once it installed check again. I think that for now we have nothing to worry about.

    I can't even find my site. We used to rank #1 for several keywords and I can't even find my site. There goes several hundred dollars down the drain.

    Guy's I'm on page 6. Should I be worried at all. We've been at #1 position for 8 months or so, updating content etc. etc. Good SEO stuff, but this is really worrying me.

    Several things come into mind --

    Have you been involved in link buying/selling?

    Or there are some issues going on with the new Google algo known as --

    30 penalty, 50 penalty, 500 penalty or 900 penalty.

    Penalties are involved mostly if you are cought selling links --- or having problems witth robots.txt or site/content problems.

    Check all of them on your site.:cool:

    No to the buying/selling links. My site checks out just fine, just checked the status report.
