Anybody experience this? My site is 13 years old, and it has been in page one for most of the target keywords, it just tank couple days ago without any signs of warning, and almost all the keywords I target tank to page 7-10.

What must I do? Is this sand box?

Please anyone ... H E L P!!!

    1. Have you being buying links?
    Maybe Google find out and punished you.
    2. Check your backlinking profile, maybe someone pointed many junk and spammy links to your domains to finish you.
    3. Do you have your own IP or do you use standard shared hosting where many websites are using the same IP
    4. Do you have other websties? Are they on the same IP and Google Analytics? Did they suffer too?

    If you have done any work to your site recently thing it could just be the "Google Dance." I doubt your site was just sandboxed.

    I doubt it would be from bad links (see 'Google Bowl'), unless you had some strong backlinks which have been taken offline (and so you lost the rank they were providing you with).

    Did you recently make any changes to the structure of the site? For example changed the titles or the content in any major way? Perhaps changed the URL link structure?

    Hi lexionar,

    Have you been monitoring the website 24/7?

    The most common reason that I see an established website drop across the board like that is usually due to the website not being accessible to the search engine bots for an extended period of time. There are other possibilities, but that is where I would look first.

    Most likely its not the sandbox, But the google dance. If you have built any links to it recently google might be putting you in another position.

    Thanks

      I have the same problem. I was on #1 page on goole with about 10 keywords and now my site in no where. When I'm searchin from my keyowords on my PC I found myself on last page, last position (just becasue I've accessed the page before ).

      Indeed I've made a XRummer blast but only 200 profiles and post.

      Do you have any solution?
