Google dropped me?

Anyone have any ideas what to do?

Build links...

Google starts a time-frame (day, week or whatever) with a pre-defined set of results...

As they find new sites, they do on-the-fly calculations to "fit" a new web page into its search results...

Then at the prescribed interval, they reshuffle the whole list, based on all of the known results...

So what happened here is that they had their shuffling set... Then you came out of the woodwork, and they slipped you into the results at an estimated location... Then they did a full-scale reshuffle again...

One of your keywords stuck... The other did not...

So do what Google wants you to do, to build value in your pages... Build links... With your target keywords in the anchor text, where you can... But diversify the keywords you include in your anchor text to avoid looking like spam...

Thanks

Don't worry about it, get back to work and wait a couple of weeks... seriously.

It's not uncommon for a new site to get a temporary first page love before it drops off into the google abyss.

Let the dust settle and let google do it's thing. The stars will align and your site will find it's place in the google universe. Until that happens there is no need to panic or lose sleep over it.

The big G has too many policies to follow. I'm not scared any way.

OP, please consider the advice of tpw. He's one guru I respect in this field of internet marketing.

Don't be naive to see your site on the top search results on the second day after launch. Build links and authority...

So long as you keep building your links you should find your self back up to the top of the page in no time. I have one site they keep toying with me on. I own the top 3 spots for my term in quotes and was sitting in the number 1-2 spot for the term with out. Then every few weeks I completely drop off for the term with out quotes but always find my way back up to the number 1 and 2 spots. So it is just google's way of making you think you need to work harder to make it stay up there on a regular basis. Google is funny at that some times. Bing is actually the harder one any more to get the front page top spots. For I own google for many terms but for those same terms I am lucky to get on the second page in bing.

Sounds about right. From what I've seen it is typical for site to really fluctuate when it is new.

Keep working on your site - add backlinks, write articles, bookmark, etc..
Your site will show back up.

REALITY CHECK HERE!!!!

You started with a wrong assumption yesterday - and you need to clear that up before you drive yourself nuts about "google rankings".

You posted yesterday that your site just got indexed and was near the top in google. That was wrong - it was a misperception on your part.

When a site is first indexed, it's thrown into the mix at google and it takes a day or two before google places that site in the ranking.

Because you were working on the site and looking at it frequently in your browser, google showed that site near the top because it is likely displaying "personal search preferences".

The site will drop when it is indexed because it has JUST BEEN indexed and ranked. Looking at the "stats" and searching for ranking is a waste of time and will be frustrating for you.

There is no logic to assuming you can build a website and have it index and jump to the top of google in a day or two. That would place your site over all the sites with more content and backlinks that have been indexed for weeks, months or even years.

Do what TPW suggested above - work on the site rather than trying to track the site for now. It will start moving up - but when we say "it takes time" - that doesn't mean a couple days. If you think that, you will quickly become frustrated and give up.

Like Kay said.. don't worry about it...

Just focus on building quality one way links.. Post an article to a few quality directories like ezinearticles.com and articlebase.com and so on.

Post a few quality comments on a few related blogs, be helpful and post quality comments.

Post your url in your sig file here..

Your site will bounce around for awhile until google finally places it, then it is up to you how quickly you climb for your main keywords..

Good luck,
Dennis

Thanks

As said this was my first site where I did SEO. Thats why I am asking, I have no experience with this. I didn't have a clue that google would behave that way.

Thanks for all the advice, will keep on building links. Currently up to 40 one-way sidebar links, 50 from articles and 100 from bookmarking-sites. Will try to to get up to something like 100 / 500 / 2000 during next week and see how that affects it.

Niche is really small (Less than 3000 hits) so I am convinced I will make it if I continue.

Best Regards

Thanks

Sites dissapearing is a natural part of the ranking process.

If you have time to sit around and worry about it in this business, you're doing something very wrong.
