Sudden SERP drop?

[678648631264]

I'm wondering why my mainpage of my site just disappeared from google while a post from my site ranks at #11 on google.

I currently only have 1 .edu backlink to it and the anchor text is my url site : http://www.domain.c0m

What is the meaning of this? I checked my on page optimization and I got an A. The only problem I saw with my site was keyword stuffing on the homepage because my posts contain the keyword and its listed 26 times on the homepage but that shouldn't be the problem.

Was this drop out of the blue or has there been some recent changes?  Sometimes when there are significant changes made there are equally drastic changes in SERPs.

I do know that keyword stuffing is BAD and have seen it negatively impact pages on one of my sites in the past.  Has this Key Word density always been high?

Not having any more information about your site, I would have to suggest addressing your KeyWord issue at hand and see if that moves things in the right direction for you.

If you can provide more information or a link to your site, I will bet many people will be happy to provide some great insight to your issue.

I know I didn't get slapped because I rank #4 for another keyword similar to it; for example:

my keyword is swimming fast

I still rank #4 for swimmingfast but I am not seen on SERPS for swimming fast.

I am not keyword stuffing though because my posts show up in the home page and several keywords pop up in the snippet portion and I cannot remove it. I can minimize my posts to the page to 1 but then my webpage isn't visually appealing. I haven't done any 'major' changes to my website except changing up the robots.txt, adding meta descriptions to everything and more.

So yes, it was out of the blue =(

Over the last two months all my sites (20) were down yet consistent in traffic.

Then last week I experienced a boost across the board. All separate sites all experiencing a very good increase in traffic.

Now - the last 7 days the drop in traffic has been steady and moving in a downward spiral, and yes, again across the board. What was significant that my anchor store (since 2002) was really dead in the water.

Site 21 (a political blog) with a PR 6 was beginning to show real signs of wear but it's recovering slightly.

Penguin, Panda, or whatever these sites are well monitored, all still very well indexed so maybe its the warm weather, summer fun, boredom but business is down, way down.

How long was you ranking for the term before it dropped? week, month, years?

Try putting quotes round the term and see where you rank so "Swimming Fast"

"Except changing up the robots.txt, adding meta descriptions to everything and more...."

Seems like there could be a correlation to your changes and how your site is ranked to me..........  Not knowing exactly what changes were made its tough to say.

Can you provide more info or a link to your site?

Wait I thought if people are doing exact search, you don't use quotes?
