One Step Forward Two Steps Backward

I have been working on my site for some time now. I worked writing articles and creating back links. my site was on Google first page on 4th or 3rt place consistently for 2 month for my key phrase. (PR=1, Back Links = 700)

One day my site disapered from page one and with the help of Market Samurai I found it on page 543. I thought that this may be a glitch and it will repair itself in a few days, but 2 weeks later the site is still at the same position.

I am not sure what happened. Is this what they call "sand boxed"?

any suggestions on what to do?

    Have you used software to backlink to the website? Also tell me exactly what you have done to aquire that position. Do you have H1 and H2 tags in place with the keyword?

    It could be sandboxed, how did you managed to get all those backlinks? Google might be suspicious if you created them too fast.

    Sorry, Google returns a maximum of 1,000 results. Page 543 would put your results at at least position 5430.

      I have building back kinks mostly manually. The only tool I used is RSSBOT for my RSS feeds.

      I have my KW in my URL, H1, and H2. My articles are all 100% unique (posted on my site and EZA)

      I also used Onliwire to social bookmark my articles.

      It took me about 6 months to build all the back links (I just checked and the number went down from about 700 to 516)

      Also I made a mistake the page is now in the 583 place not page as I wronly stated before.

      The site was on page 1 and position 3 or 4 for a bout 2 month and then drooped to 583

      Somebody asked me if I use any Blue Fart techniques. What is Blue Fart? I am kind of new to this and I don't know what it is.

      In post seven of this thread, you quoted the OP where he
      corrected himself saying he meant place not page.

    That has happened to me a couple of times. My website would jump from the very front to the back. It will fix itself, just give it some time.

      Why would it fix over time? What's Google's reason to vary your ranking this much?

        Thanks everybody for your responses.

        I guess I will continue back linking and see what happens over time.

        This is the first time this happened to me so I am guessing it is part of the learning process :confused:

        Thanks again

    I've been sandboxed before, had a site that was #7 on page one for a keyword then it got thrown back several pages. I had used an untested source for backlinks and I think that was the issue. It took 3 months for that site to get back to where it is now, page two, which still isn't where it once was.

    I would check where you are backlinking to and see if there is something from those sites that google isn't happy with.
