My positions have completely dropped this week for a site that has enjoyed good ranking for years.

It happened over the weekend.

On sunday, i jumped to position 4 for my major phrase, then when i check on sunday, it had completely dissapeared.

Even when searching for my sites name (and we're the only site called this, plus i have all the domains, .co.uk, .com, .net).

Now when i look, the first listing of my actual domain is on page 6, all the previous entries are pages about my site.

I'm really hoping this is a glitch, its only been gone for 2 days.

I'm going on holiday tomorrow, i hope that when i come back 18 months work hasn't been wasted.

I'm using exactly the same, safe link building techniques as i use on my other sites, all which have kept their positions.

Has anyone else suffered any similar problems where their ranking came back after a few days?
