Off the scale completely

Not fallen, but gone .....

Lots of posts have spoken about falling positions but I'm interested in others who have had a similar experience as me :-

i)Increase in PR from 4 to 5
ii) From position 11 in SERP for main keyword (2-word variety) to off-the-scale completely, I got to 700 and then stopped looking.

Still appear for some of the minor keywords but the main keyword accounted for 80% of visitors.

I see there is still a lot of movement within www2 and www3 but this appears to be MOVEMENT as opposed to sites reappearing.

It is if we have been penalised but then I would expect PR0 and not an increase! Will probably do nothing to website and hope algorithm is more sympthetic to me next month.

You could be caught in a filter that is simply discounting certain tactics on your site. If that's the case, you might not have a lowered PR for a penalty.

Are you using any questionable tactics that could have affected how your site is read/ranked?
