RANKED 1st for 3 keywords for only a week now not in top 10

Hey guys,

I was just running my blog as usual and I get 90 percent of my traffic from my vatious YouTube channels. But one day around a week or two back, I noticed my traffic increase by around 50%! I was getting 40 - 50% of my daily traffic from search engines (mainly google)... So I googled my keywords which I have tried to incorporate into my blog and wow I was first on google for those keywords!

But the other day for no apparent reason, my traffic dropped quite badly, I typed in google my 3 keywords and I was no where to be found, I even looked in the top ten pages manually I am no where...

I did type my website name in and it came up ok, I also pasted my url into google and it's there so I have not been banned, I just find it strange that I have been pushed into the abyss. The only thing that I have recently changed, is I took my most popular pages' traffic and diverted it to my other blog with the same contents...So I am wondering if I should perhaps 'un publish' the same page of contents on my current blog. But would duplicate content really be the cause of this>? basically it's a movie I have on both blogs (the same movie) but I wanted to get the traffic to my new blog so changed the URL on youtube to my new blog... any advice appreciated thanks!

    If you've redirected your old blog/page it's likely not something that Google wants to keep at the same spot. They've got to re-evaluate if your content is worthy of the SERP placement.

    Here's two easy explanations more:
    - Google pushing new content to the top. If the competition is fairly slow your new articles may get decent push just for being new.
    - You're logged in / out without realizing it. That would explain drastic changes in search placements, but not changes in traffic.
    Signature
    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

      With my old blogger blog, I removed all the content basically stripped it bare and have not got anything linking to it! so any traffic that page gets (if any) will be organic and not from my sources.

      It could be because it's new as my site is only a few months old but was only ranked 1st for my keywords for a short time :-(
