I had a website that has a blogspot domain... raking for a low comp keyword 1000 searches. The site was number 1 or 2 for about 3 weeks now it's gone. I had this happen to another site of mines a few weeks back and now my other website is back on the front page. Anyways why does this happen anyone know?

    • One of my sites is doing the same thing. I went on the Google Webmaster forum today and started a thread titled "It looks like Google is broken".

      I got some responses basically saying my site sucked, which I agree, it does kinda suck, but that's not the point lol

      But I have decided that everywhere I go I am going to leave the phrase "Google is Broken".

      If nothing else it makes me feel better.

    • Good share looks like the old Google sniper days are over
    • I read this link today and now it is more clear to me that some of the tried and true SEO methods are going to be retired in the near future..
    • That was very helpful to me. Thanks. My site has been page rank 6 for many years and was just downgraded to 5. I now see why.
  • It's normal with all the updates nowadays
  • Well, I have seen the same thing over and over and while I agree your site won't stay #1 all the time or even on the first page.....but what I don't get is how it simply disappears for a day......and then re-appears.....mind you each time my sites disappear it come back the next day with an improved ranking..........so not going to complain!
  • Get more and more back link for your site, also update your site with new content if possible, it because your competitor may impress Google

    • I agree with sousen I guess backlinks is what we need...
  • google always like that
    infact many people make new site and get index by google
    after your site get first google, then google dance , juring this proses your site will scrol by google to recheck your site about original conten by spider, if your site is good enough to publish google will give you back to your position and can be higher, just need to be passion keep your site up to date
    may take a week or more can be forever, all depent ,
    everyday new site will index by google and google always looking for the best conten,
    here how google work :

    if your site full information that realy work for reader you will get first page
    google also other serching engine want get more reader to search from searching engin, if the reader search from google find just garbage information google will loss the businnes, that why google so picky for the original conten and full information, if to many competition then you need more back link, if not even you have no back link you can get on google first page

    good luck just keep learning what google want , that is the key ( nothing methode can gurantte stay long on google ,google and other search engine always change that why they hire programer and pay lot of money to block any leak on google,

    do not give up

  • Not sure if the URL in your Sig File is the blog in question? If so your last post appears to be almost 2 months ago, I would suggest posting more often and see if that helps.

    • Thanks for the input, the one I am talking about is a different site.

      I haven't updated the one in my sig for a while because it's been doing ok with article and youtube driven traffic, I never did rank for that site for "killer content review" but I do for "killer content scam" and "killer content socrates". Actually the Warrior forum is #1 for "killer content socrates" and I am a close #2 lol. Kinda moved on to other things now too. On a side note, I wonder why that site hasn't been Google slapped yet? Not enough competition for the keywords perhaps?

  • It has ahppened often with My and my clients websites.
    They always jump whenever I try to give the websites some Boost with a few Blackhat techniques..
    But whitehat always works.. I am sure with a few High PR do follow links, You should get back to ur previous position.
    Google is just dancing around and suditing ur website.. Nothing to worry.
  • Its just normal but there's nothing to worry about just continue what you're doing.
  • It's called the "Google Dance" once in a while Google shifts the results to find a more appropriate position for a site, when it does this, the site can't be found at all

    • yes..Google panda update is talking for our whole company websites.. My keywords ranking are still same position for last one week..
  • Now its a new kind of war,, all have to think and work. Rewrite the new rules for ranking,, but lot of site lost there ranks its sad , and i think Google is going to earn lot of money soon because now site owner will spend money on ppc , so its a win win for google..
  • Pah... Not unless they get banned from that too

  • Until now, we don't exactly know what Google really thinks or plans about our websites. We just have to get ready and do the best that we can.
