    Yes, we've noticed big changes as well - like completely losing ALL Google traffic type changes.

    Still indexed, but you're not going to find our site directly...not even if you search for 'future conscience' (not even 'futureconscience.com'!!). We're nowhere to be seen unless you search for 'www.futureconscience.com'.

    It's ridiculous, and really starting to piss me off. I guess for our site, this is what they call being sandboxed?

    I've noticed some drastic changes for the worse. Like going from the first page to the 4th but hopefully everything will work itself out in the next week or so.

    Yes its starting to piss me off too.. My site has been around since the year 2000..still indexed at google but not getting traffic though from google search except for images search..i really hope that this will only be temporary.. however lets just wait a week or two to get a better picture...

    We've only been around for about 5 weeks now, which is why I think it has been 'sandboxed' (whatever that means!). Since we are still a very new site, this isn't concerning me too much (I'd be so angry if it was an old site like many of you!)...however, it is more the change in results that is the concern.

    We were ranking quite well for many keywords - one in particular was for phrases surrounding 'how to secure your social network' which we were getting quite a bit of traffic from - but then it just stopped completely.

    I can understand us being new and everything - but why don't we show up for a search of 'future conscience' (the site is www.futureconscience.com!), or even 'futureconscience.com'?! You literally have to search for the whole address including www for us to come up...

    Whatever the reason, it is stupid and does not make sense for the goals of a good, up-to-date search engine.

    I see what you mean, I used to be on page one for free quality hosting, now I'm barely on page 4, the only thing that I did was applying for admanager. I wonder if its got something to do with that.

    My domain dont have those keyword though.

    There must be some mistake done, during the update. Or some glitch in their Algorithm.

    Yes, there are some major changes for my sites ranking too but I think its not the caffeine update as my sites current ranking are different from www2 . sandbox.google.com/
