Kw positions gone overnight

If you have multiple sites then you can see a pattern on GSC and GA and that is how we get to know about silent and official updates form google.

Thanks for the information, Varun.

Still all keywords are gone off the map no movement anyone else recovered?

This is normal for new sites
Try not to manipulate the metrics of the domain and you should be okay
Probably the sandbox effect

It's completely normal on almost every new website. It is gonna take a few months before the rankings jump to a better position.

So I have a site that's around 3 weeks old, I posted around 10 articles, all keywords for these articles are mid to low competition.

I found that I was ranking for the focus keyword of the article around 3 days after posting.

I was getting growth of organic visits upto 80 impressions per day and had 15 keywords positioned between 21 and 31 on serps and 1 kw positioned 12th.

Overnight all keywords have dropped past position 101+ and I've received maybe 1 impression a day the last couple days.

No manual actions on GSC but I did apply for adsense and it was rejected for thin content? This was about a week ago

Has adsense rejection messed up my stats

This happens all the time. What you have is a very new website. It's nothing to be alarmed by, keep working on your content.

But I'm literally getting 0 or 1 visitor a day, all keywords disappeared from tracking, wouldn't normally I see keywords slowly depending in ranking rather than over night

The sandbox is real.

80 impressions per day in just 10 days is very impressive. Did you use any blackhat technique ? That can be the reason for all rankings gone.

No buddy no blackhat just good articles highly seo optimised in a niche with med to low difficulty keywords. The results have been so impressive that when it increased daily I was so annoyed when every keyword disappeared and daily impressions went to 0. I have no backlinks on the site, no social links. Just an seo optimised site in a good niche but a month in this happens?! I would have thought the sandbox would start at the very beginning of a sites indexing, not a month in. All I can think is adsense rejection had something to do with it

I think a Google update will happen soon, and hopeful that it doesn't have any negative effect on my website.
