Hi guys, My site was ranking in in the 10th - 12th position in google for about a month now ( it keeps jumping about ). However, this afternoon it suddenly disappeared completely from the SERP. I checked allinurl and I can still see it. But i searched page by page and i could not find it at all. All the way to the last page of search results. Anybody here got any idea on what is going on? :confused:

  • I have a blog which was ranked between 3 to 9 position previously. Out of sudden it disappears out of sight for about six months. However I still continue what I need to do - post articles on my blog, submit backlinks etc.

    Three weeks ago, it appears again and was ranked 2nd position on Google. Today it was ranked number one on Google.

    So if you are in it for long term, short term volatility in rank should not be a problem. It will eventually come back again if you do what you need to do.

  • Could be anything. Most likely it is QDF since your blog is so new. Could also be you were getting too aggressive with your backlinking too. Check it again in a week and see where you're at.

    • Speakin' the truth Matt. I'm with ya, 'cept he only has a handful of back links indexed so I'm guessing it isn't happening in regards to that. Probably as you said, could have a lot to do with being new and just being below the fold as far as when to serve it on exact/broad keywords.

      Sitemap: Check!
      Redirect non-www version to www:
      Building up links to entire site vs main site:
      Keywords in URL: Check!


      I think once you obtain high quality links throughout your site you will no longer bounce around so much in the SERPs, and within time, show up for more broad matches.
  • Hard to say without a URL.

    If you have had a surge of backlinks, then you could be feeling the 'dance' effect a lot of people refer to.

    • the site is www.coiloversuspension.net . I did not build much actually, but there is this edu blog which worries me. It keeps adding new pages and somehow i get backlinks from it each time it creates a page although i only posted my link there once. Is that a bad thing for me?
  • Mine has done the same thing today! Was 8-12, and now its not even in top 200, although its still indexed.
  • SEO experts call it Google sandbox and it happens for websites when Google doesn't know exactly the real position of a domain because of backlinks of this domain are increasing a lot in a short time. But when you are come back to previous position, don't worry about it because Google knows the real position of your website now.
  • I've been through this twice now with my site ranking on pg 2 then in one day losing 14 pgs down to pg16. In about a week it was back up to pg 3 then it disappeared completely as you are describing. after another few days the site was back to pg3 and now its sitting on pg2....

    I posted here and received all kinds of different answers. In the end I continued to build backlinks and other SEO activity. At the moment my approach seems to have worked.

    Hope this helps.
  • I found out my problem. Issues with development on the backend gave me so many crawl errors Google basically said "**** this" and dumped my site from SERPS.

    Basically, my developer screwed up
