wackybrit -- from your comments, it seems that you are affected by something other than this "minus thirty" phenomenon. Just to keep this thread on target, let me again focus on the symptoms. EVERY search that previously returned a top rank for a url from these affected domains now shows that url at position #31. This is even true for a search on the domain name itself, which normally returns the domain in the first position.

The fact that many of your results have shifted downward for different amounts (depending on the search involved) is a different picture. Not a pretty one at all, but not the specific thing we are discussing here.
