Why Google Ranking Drop

Site ranking was quite consistent for sometime. But today they are minus across the board. What are the potential causes? Is this a manual or automated?

Most of the ranking drop are first manual and then move to an automated system. The most common cause for across the board ranking drop linking that seems manipulative or involves “bad neighborhood”. Undetected servers are culprit these days which hack the cloaks for Googlebot.

Use of Iframe sometime triggers a penalty but that is Google’s head ache because there is no such restriction of using Iframe unless the frame is legitimate. These ideas that I have listed are just the possibilities that could happen. If your site rank drops wait for few days before taking action. It may be Google bug which might get clear on its own. But try to a lot sometime to scrutinize your site for technical issues, undetected hacks and so on.

If you’re ranking don’t come back quickly then send a reconsideration request. In that case it is always good to have a few things to say about clean-up efforts you have made.

How about getting an editor.

I know you have something important to say, but it is very difficult to understand your choppy English.
