Why did Google drop/stop ranking my site?

Please help! Google is not giving my site traffic anymore. The site dropped from rank 1 to rank 179 on my dominant keyword. I am not sure as to the reason of this sudden drop.

Can anyone give clarity as to why I would suddenly drop off the Google radar in a days time after being there for months?
Thanks for you help in advance!

    Vidwealth,
    You are still indexed. So you have a chance at getting back to page one. I recommend you put your effort into linkbuilding for that site.

    Were you doing anything aggressive? If they notice too many links coming to your site in a short amount of time that could happen. But, if you haven't been deindexed at all then you are probably still in ok shape.

    Thanks for the replies! I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary or too aggressive. I use articles, blog, twitter, facebook and youtube to market the site.

    There is nothing as constant as change. Everyday Google is tweaking something then it goes live and then you move. You need a plan and you need to be consistent. It's also very important that your plan not rely on search in order to be profitable.

    that is a hard hit but if you depend on google for traffic then that can happen.

    This is the risk you take when you are dependent on search engine traffic. I have many sites that seem to drop off the map randomly, but in the end if you keep building up links you will get back to the front.

    A small change in Google's algorithms could cause huge changes (for you) such as what happened in your case.
