wish I knew man.. I had 2 sites getting me around 1300 visitors a day sitting at rank 1 then they both dropped to page 3 or lower.. it's been this way for 2 weeks, they won't move..

2 weeks is a long time for 1300 + visitors a day.

Thanks

  I'd say good. Up until now, most of my sites have bounced back. One of them took a good month, then came back stronger to page 1, but has not been gone for about 2 weeks. It will be back though. The key is to keep doing what you were doing.
  
  Thanks

I'm in the same boat. Two weeks ago my pages dropped from page 1 to nowhere. It's all my own content and i never made any major changes. Still no sign of my pages returning to Google, and practically no visitors to my site. This whole Internet marketing caper is a dangerous business. Being so heavily reliant on one supplier (Google) is too great a risk.

Thanks

Some sites were greatly affected by the Google Farmer update. Sites with low quality, scraped content, built for ads, and duplicate content across pages (e-commerce sites) were hit by this update.

Just keep on building links daily and improve your site's content and link from authority high PR sites.

Thanks

Dang, sorry to hear about that, kind of scaring me now because I thought for sure mine would just bounce back and here's you two telling me this happened to you for weeks and still not back up.

Thank you both, I'll just keep doing what I am doing, was thinking of asking if I should wait on back links till Its back where it belongs but you guys answered that for me without me even asking

Hope mine bounces back stronger like your saying

I don't think yours is a google dance problem because if it was a dance then probably it would have gone down to 300, 400 never seen such short fall in google dance. If it fell to page 5 may be because you have stopped building links to the site so the old links were deindexed and site gone down.

Well that all sounds bad! I've been constantly building links before this happened, and even after. Also, niche isn't nearly as big as your thinking, your saying page 300 to 400, if you google my keyword the furthest back you can go is page 69.

Thanks

Search is a moving target. Google changes their algorithms more than 400 times per year perhaps even more.

The search results you see are not the same as what another person in another location will see.

So you may think you have a certain position.. but you don't.

Thanks

Two of my sites that were at page 1, almost dissaperd last week, now back at page 1 but lower down the page.
However a few more pages of both sites on page1.
Both are scraped content sites.

Thanks

Google dance is a good sign. Just build some backlinks while in google dance, you'll see good changes. Also put new content, that is the most important thing.
