Hi Filo, The Google index has been shuffling around a fair bit recently. In the past new pages seemed to get a temporary boost before disappearing again for a while. I'm not sure if that's still the case, but it might be an explanation. Prairie.

I've often see new sites jump into the higher serp listings then drop back again. I believe it is quite common.

It's very common. In the old days it was in a constant flux. One day your number 1 next day nowhere to be found. This would last a month or two. These days however you get a brief glimmer of hope before losing it for a long time. I've seen reports of the sandbox effect only lasting a couple of months but I have a dozen sites I launched in May that are still waiting for their ranking and I've not had PR added to any site launched since July. Sit back and ride it out is all you can do (unless you want to PPC).

Whew! Thanks for putting me at ease guys. I was afraid I had triggered some over optimization penalty. I suspect that the sandbox is the more likely cause. I've had some success with avoiding the sandbox with sites that are very heavily updated. I'm going to try to keep adding new pages to this site as well as new incoming links and hopefully I can shorten the sandbox time.

Hello, I got the same problem with my sites. I have 10 sites and al my pages are listed at number 1 for te main keywords. But the last 2 weeks, 3 of my sites are in the morning at number 1 en at the end of the day they are totally disappeared. About a half year ago I had the same problem its not possible to do something about it. It takes about 4 weeks and after that is all normal. So don't worry.

PPC? Blasphemy! Why pay for it, when you can get it for free. (Well, unless, of course, you can't) ;-)
