Ranking Drop

[s-s]

hey guys, I know there is always someone here asking this questions, but I have done my fair share of investigation and have not come up with a cause.

my ranking dropped from page one to page 2  or 3 last sunday in time span of 4 hours.

After that I read that google was updating panda with 4.1, but don't know why I got hit exactly.

my competition is all clear and some have even gained rankings, and mine dropped even though my domain and page authority increased as well.

any ideas would help. I already checked all the obvious ones (such as spam, links, content, etc)

Hi,

If you have already checked those (i would assume you have already checked everything, from internal linking, navigation, speed, structure, codes etc) then it might just be a temporary shuffle. It's also possible that those that are linking to you might have been affected negatively hence weakening your position.

Dennis,

thanks for taking the time to write me.

I have checked internal issues and couldn't find anything that would cause a drop. I did however see that I lost some links over the past few weeks, and I need to investigate that to figure out what happened.

I realized that we lost visitors gradually since sept 21 but last sunday was when traffic completely dropped.
