Hi, I am pretty new to IM, I ranked well very early on took me 2 months to get to page one on google. It did the google dance alot,but stayed on page one for over a month, to my surprise this morning my website has vanished completely Its not even ranking, or if it is I havent found it yet? Any ideas on what might be happening? Please help! I have put so much work into my site I really don't want to lose it!

    Have you done any questionable SEO methods? Massive back links at one time, links from known spam directories, malware ads?

      thank you all for the feedback, I did recently purchase a small pyramid linking plan that I found through a company on wf. thought it would help boost my rankings higher for page one though, not make me disappear? So if I have been sandboxed, what does that exactly mean for my site? Will it come back to where it was on page one after 20 days or so?

        Did you try other browsers?

        Check with your hosing company and do you have tracking software?

        Contact the author of the software or plan you joined and see if they have had the same or similar experience.

        There is no guarantee time frame but you should expect at least a few weeks to a few months for it to come back (as long as its still indexed).

    A pyramid linking scheme sounds like it may be partially to blame. Too many back links too quick has always been a flag to Google, one of many factors in determining where your site should rank.

    Give it a few days, if your site is legit, it will be back soon.
