Dropped from 1st to 16th over night!

Well mine also has been hit.Was getting descent amount of traffic and clicks on my links but since last two days,traffic has almost disappeared.
 
I just checked rankings of my new client (started working with 2 days ago). They pretty much dropped from page 1 to page 2 for all KWs compared to yesterday. Only a couple of KWs stayed intact and 2 KWs went up.

Other sites no problems, everything is business as usual, some KWs a bit up, some KWs a bit down, nothing special
 
be patient...... as people have said happened to alot of people, hopefully all is well

 
We are always patieents when this happen , nowdays deal with G its all about patience!
 
I thought something was off, 3 of my affiliates site took a tumble last night. grrr
 
Of course you can drop at the blink of an eye.

Some obvious things to check:

1. Make sure no one hacked your site and installed virus for your users to experience.
2. Check to make sure no one did a big negative SEO campaign against you.
3. If you made any changes to your site (site design, SEO, etc...) that can impact rankings and cause a google dance.
4. If google launched a new algo change.
 
Hey Nick ya thats the approach i did built High PR links and Web 2.0s and such and 2 of my inner pages were both ranked top 3 for about a week or 2 or so i continued building some links not many but yea both main KWS went from 3rd to mid page 3 not a clue!
 
One of mine has dropped from page 2 of Google (position 13) and it's no longer in the top 100. There's certainly something amiss here, and it wasn't an affiliate site. I did however use the services of two sellers on here. As an aside, one of my new sites that I threw together on Sunday is ranking on page 4 already and there's no backlinks built on it yet.

Edit- Delved a bit further and it's not even in the top 300! To say that I'm pissed off is an understatement.

I had 1 page that dropped from 3rd position to page 4. It doesn't have any guest blog links though. All my other sites have stayed firm or increased.
 
The same thing happened to me. My site ranking #1,#12 and so on for few keywords suddenly disappeared and been ranking at last positions now. Some thing is really happening here it's not dance or shit.
 
Google Released Another Penguin from their Fanny.
 
I have had one site drop from 18 to 40. Another has stayed where it was.. Strangely one of my old sites that was hit by the last penguin update has reappeared at 91!
 
Just keep building links, don't react to the drop.

Ditto this! Just keep building good links. I said I did rise, but there wasn't anymore depth to my comment really. Last week I did experience a drop, all I done was manually went out looking for good links and diversified my keyword anchor text and mixing it up with naked urls, lsi keywords.

Then I filtered it all down with some good social media signals, followed by 1 manual web 2.0 with an article posted everyday for 7 days and wrote manually with again, targeting exact, naked, lsi etc.

Worked for me, don't see why it wont work for others.
 
Let me just get this out of the way:


My number of indexed pages dropped and some keywords dropped too...
