What happened to my site in Google?

    Hi guys,
    about two weeks ago I started a thread here looking for advise on how to improve the Google position of my site dedicated to Stefan Edberg.

    STE...fans

    So I improved the text of my index page, making sure that the keywords I'm interested in (stefan edberg) appear several times in the page.

    Unfortunately, since then my site, which was previously ranked 30th-40th in Google listings for the keywords "stefan edberg", has desappeared from Google.

    Does anybody know if this is normal and why this happened?
    Thanks, Mauro

    Yes, Gmorkster. I knew my site was still in Google, but I was wondering why my rank has gone so down for the keywords "stefan edberg" after I typed several times these two keywords in the text of the index page.

    Shouldn't this make the position go up?

    How old is the site? Sounds like sandbox

    This is another case where the site that has been droped ( like rock ) from nice SERP shows not active status when queried on whois.sc .

    I still couldn't figure out if there's a connection

    I absolutely don't know either what sandbox is or why my site results inactive in the "who is" programme. My site has been running since 2001 and I've last updated it less than 2 weeks ago. Do you think if I re-upload the previous home page I will have my old position back?
