My site just went from about rank 30 to rank 982 for one keyword. For 5 other keywords the same thing is happening. Is this a dance or sandbox?
 
not enough details. have you done anything bad lately, xrumer to homepage, to many comments, etc?

Nothing bad. All I did was like 2000 comments, but not directly to my page, to some web 2.0 profiles and articles.
 
I had a site do the exact same thing. Was ranking page 2-3 for all keywords then bam, out of no where all keywords were at #500+ They stayed in that position for 40 days until yesterday when they all came back stronger then before. Now there all sitting on page 1-2. You can read about it in my thread:

I've had this kind of experience before with some of my sites. What some people think that's going on is your link velocity went down, and it was just a very prolonged google dance. The only way you're REALLY sandboxed is if you type your URL on the google search and NOTHING shows up. Then you're in trouble. make sure you also don't have any hidden text or anything!
