      I'm getting increasingly worried as my site stopped ranking for all keywords 3 days ago and is yet to return. The sites been up about 6 months but I only started link building via MyBlogGuest about 2 months ago. I saw great results the very day before it disappeared as my rankings increased significantly.

      As far as I know MyBlogGuest is a legitimate way of building links and I was careful to use a variety of anchor text, url and branded links. I just can't explain why it's gone completely. It's still indexed when I check with site: and there are no errors in webmaster tools.

      The site is http://www.top-10-dating-reviews.com (The site does have some adult content!) and wondered if anyone could take a look to see if I'm missing something obvious.

      Any help much appreciated!

        That's probably it. Site got flagged as adult and won't rank for dating terms any more. Your homepage title alone is very adult oriented.

          Thanks for your reply. It's not even ranking for adult terms including keywords in the title tag but it once did? Surely it should still rank for such adult search queries?
