Hi

We are managing a .com site for a client working on getting the site ranking.

The site is hosted in the US.  The content is rich, deep and unique.  The site is in a competitive market but had begun ranking top 50 for a selection of keywords and we could see many more in the top 100.  The site is now going backwards and only has a few keywords ranking top 50 and all the others have disappeared from the rankings all together.

Any thought as to what could cause this.  The site is managed from the Uk but as mentioned is hosted in the US.  No penguin issues as all content unique, rich, relevant and fresh.

SEO is also managed from the UK.

Thoughts

not enough details it could be a variety of things you gotta be more specific

The site and content might be unique, but do you know where the links were if any that you received?  That's my first thought.  If you have a link portfolio that might be the best thing to look at and see what happened to the sites that were linking too you.

you should have known by the subject title lol

Given your title, are you only slipping in google.com for your search? How is Bing doing? If overall search from all engines have declined, then you'd want to check that you hadn't blocked something in robots, for example.

If you're not able to give out many details in a public Q&A, consider using your private Q&A question for the month. Those questions are only viewable to you and SEOmoz staff/associates, and we are all under NDAs to not share your URL or any other information about the question.

Often times you will rank decently right after launching a  site but then it will slip a bit. Part of the whole freshness thing I believe.

But can you share the domain or some other site details? Very vague here and the problem could be anything
