My site has ranked for its keywords for over 2 years without any problem, it is my income and thus a lot depends on it for my family and need some advice.
About 2 months ago my site went from Google rankings after a new cache of the main page by Google, I got worried but left it a bit and at the 3rd cache after that it came back, phew I thought, but then at the next cache all my rankings went again, and then came back again, but everytime they come back it takes longer and longer and I am losing lots of income and have no idea why really this is happening.
There is nothing wrong with the site, it always keeps its PR, no errors in webmaster tools with crawl errors or robots.txt, this has just suddenly started randomly happening and at the moment it is happening again and my site has gone from Google since the 5th July cache Google made of the site.
As I said there is nothing wrong site wise, it's the same it always has been and the site is still in Google when my rankings go if you search the site name so it is not banned or anything.
I am kinda thinking it MIGHT be a server issue as one of my other sites that should be ranking for certain terms stopped ranking a year or so ago and again there is nothing wrong with that site either, that site aims at very easy to rank for terms that you wouldn't need much work to rank for, and that site is a PR3, aged site with over 300 backlinks, most non reciprocal too.
So IF it is a server issue and there are no errors in webmaster tools, what do I look for? Google still caches the site fine and still see's the site how it normally does when my rankings go but randomly just gets rid of them at random caches and other times it seems to come back.
Any advice pls as this is causing distress.
Thanks
RJ

I'd suggest looking directly at your server logs to monitor what googlebot's experience is.
I got my host to do that and they said there was no problems, as I say Google still caches the site fully so I am not sure what to think.
