What boggles my mind is the one I'm seeing now in google is an old cache, older than the one i've seen on the Nov. 4.
I hope I understood you correctly...
This is totally normal Google activity, to have a page on the days it isn't freshtagged revert to an old cache. For instance, a page of mine that get's crawled almost every day, (about 3 out of 5 days), at the moment will have freshtags most days, but on those it doesn't, the cache reverts to Oct 11. Soon, a newer cache will stick and it will revert to a more recent cache on non-freshtag days.
if not, I have 2 recent examples
if yes, I need to explore the reason for it
It isn't a common complaint here... usually it's, "My site just vanished from the index!"
Have backlinks disappeared slowly? Are the sites ever freshened up with new pages and a bit of SEO? If a lot of the sites supplying incoming links go missing, and no new ones are found, then that would do it eventually. Google also seems to like a regular addition of new content. It might just be Google death by neglect. A website is like a flower... it must be watered, fed, occasionally pruned, and you have to invite the neighbours to drop by and have a look when it finally blooms. If you ignore it, it just up and drops dead on you.
ADDED:
If it's the home site in your profile, then I have to wonder if you're having duplicate content problems or something. You have a PR5, yet I don't see your site in the top 50 on your keywords, just lots of sites that have your site URL tacked onto the end or are linked somehow. Trying a [yoursite.com...] there were no results, (unless I typed something in wrong), but a search of "www.yoursite.com" shows 43 sites with your URL listed in their text.
Maybe your associates and their sites have managed to kick you out of Google somehow. With a PR5, and a good looking site, (looks good to me), then you don't need all those crap links.... prune out the ones that are messing you up and aim for #1 on your title keywords.
Imho.

>> Yes, 3 update back 48 approx, 2 update back 32 , last update 28.
Are the sites ever freshened up with new pages and a bit of SEO
>>> Yes, till 10th oct site had a fresh tag twice a week. AND yes fair SEO involved.

>>> This is the only appropriate reason I found.

>>> It used to be in top 3 for all targeted KWS, till 13th October.

>>> I am skeptic about this too. How can i exactly locate that CRIMINAL Link.
As I said, I have 2 recent examples...one of my other site which is quite old and was quite stable too had a slow death 5 days back.
Any further help on this issue appreciated :-)
I replied to your sticky... hope it helps.

Any indication?
It's the only datacenter that seems to be showing a new cached version as the other datacenters are showing my site from Sunday the 9th.
The spiders look for and follow the href=
Added: Synergy, or any others, if you a few minutes at some point have a look at wanna_learn's situation. His troubles are fairly well described in the thread. There's something odd happening... maybe dupe content on a supposed linking site, (I don't know, just looked through 5 or 6), but when I checked he had PR5 if you paste his homesite url in, sites showing that link to him if you search for his url text, and yet he has slowly vanished from the index.
Some more details
I changed the IP of my site (to enable SSL), a month back it disappeared. I kept the Site at old IP too till I saw Bot crawling my new IP.
That should not be concerned I guess.
I also suggest that you include the whole two word phrase in <h1> not just one word.
You should also mention your other keyphrases in your text "R Hotels", "R Tourism" ... The word tourism only appears in your title and text links pointing to you.
wanna_learn, it would be good if you got an ODP listing, Yahoo directory, a few solid links like those. All those sites linking to you are mostly just sites with lists of links with no content... they're parasites and they're messing you up somehow. You need to not only track down your problem, you need some solid links like online magazines, articles etc.
There are a lot of supposed SEO "experts" here, (and I'm sure not one)... perhaps one of them could cough up a bit of expertise and figure out what's going on.
However istead of making this thread site specific, I wanted to raise the isuue of so called "Slow Death".
Lots of Webmasters complaint the same phenomenon, few of them returned back on changing their Host.
I too tried it but No Luck Played.
Are there any guidelines to find the specific Malicious Link?
Help so far is really appreciated. This Forum has been very useful.
It dont use No cache tag!
is this No-Cache has been a common phenomenon?
Soon, a newer cache will stick and it will revert to a more recent cache on non-freshtag days.
I'm expecting that googlebot will prioritize sites that are listed in the google directory. But I observed that after my site was added, this thing happened. Is there any relationship between those events?
