I had changed layout of my website and surprisingly my ranking had gone for major competitive keyword and dropped for less competitive keywords. I really dont know, is my web site is sandboxed. can anyone help me out to get back my ranking ? Please... Thanks!
Its my bread and butter so worried. thanks for the info... any guess how many days it took to get normalize?
Any time you do a major overhaul to a site, ranks will drop then eventually return and stabalize. As long as you kept the same URL structure, page titles, etc., you should be ok.
