      Hi,

      Need urgently help, one of our website http://www.bannerbuzz.com keywords ranking is down suddenly since 6-11-2012, even we don't have done any changes on the website & we were on top on many keywords.

      We have done only one change recently is we have moved our website from shared server to dedicated server on last 21st October & we can see some traffic fluctuation after to redirecting from shared server to dedicated server, also website load time has been increase in Google Analytic, so it that reason to get rank down suddenly?, because all keywords has been down.

      We have also some affiliate sites like bannerbuzz.ca, bannerbuzz.co.uk & bannerbuzz.com.au which design and coding structure is as same as bannerbuzz.com, so is that a problem (Duplication issue)?

      We have tried to find out the solution for the same, but we didn't get any proper reason to get rank down suddenly.

      Can it happened due to dedicated server which we have moved recently or Google has changed anything in algorithm?

      Can we put website in Google reconsideration to know proper reason about the website?

      Following are the keywords on which we loose the ranking.

      Banners
      Vinyl Banners
      Custom Banners
      Vinyl Lettering
      Custom Signs
      Car Decals

      We were on top for above all keywords.

      Your help will be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks,

        There was a Panda Algorithm update at the start of November around the 5th. panda will penalize sites that duplicate content, are of low quality and supply a bad user experience. Load times would be attributed to user experience. I think your website probably ticks a few of these boxes. Your best bet is to research Googe Panda, and see if you can uncheck the boxes.

          You site may have been impacted by the over optimization penalty. Redo the on site for your pages and ideally focus on only 1 keyword when optimizing the pages. Also check your backlinks and use the disavow tool to get rid of the bad ones.
