      Dear SeoMozers,

      My website www.buy-hosting.net ist around for about 6 months. It performed quiet well the first months and for the main keyword "Buy Hosting" it went continously better, until #7 in SERPS of Google. Then, some days ago, it suddenly disappeared and traffic went down to nearly zero. It is not even in the Top 100 for "buy hosting" anymore.

      Can anyone please advice me, what could be the reason for that and what I could do about it? I'am desperate, beacuse I worked about 8 months nearly 100% of my time on that project...

      Thank you and kind regards

        It could be... malware... hidden text... infringing content... Panda.... a variety of other things...  but most likely it is devalued links.

          I agree with EGOL regarding the content, are you sure all your content is unique and not on any other sites?

          Maybe part of the Panda updates?

            Hi,

            all contents are 100% unique and self-made by me personally. This can not be the reason.

            Other ideas?

              Dear EGOL,

              is this speculation, did you have a real look at the site, the metrics? Would you please tell me, why you think that?

              Kind regards

              Michael

                These are common reasons why sites disappear from the SERPs.

                I didn't look at the site.  Looking at a site for these types of problems is risky takes a large amount of time.

                  I can exclude malware, hidden text and infringing content.

                  How can I check out for devalued links?

                  Where can I read about the specifics of the Panda Update?

                  Thank you

                    Have you checked webmaster tools for any messages?  You still have 200+ pages indexed.

                    I wouldn't discount the content.  There maybe something that Google doesn't like about it.  I do see a few misspellings on the home page (prooves) and cutoff words (if they don't make a cus...).  When I found you in Google, this is what Google is serving me up for a description:  "All mentioned trademarks are property of their respective owners. By using this site, you are agreeing to the Terms of Use ..."

                    Plus side is you're still ranking well in Bing.
