My domain is 1 Month 10 Days old. looking at webmaster performace report below I was ranking on around page 8-10 for a few small volume local keywords (super low comp 30 searches per month). but now all of a sudden im not showing up anywhere for these keywords. recently ive started to get impressions again but when I look into the keywords these impressions are coming from I cant find my website in any of the results.

The only link building I have done is local citations on local news websites and a small diversity package from Peter Ngo (only just recently finished). Google webmaster tools is acknowledging 22 links that are all citations. Ahrefs shows 9 links, from 8 referring domains, these are also all citations. Im hoping this is just a google dance or sandbox and I will return to the SERPs soon but I would like other people opinions. I tried to provide as much info as possible.

Thanks

do note that there was a major google update in early june and also another update in late june. you might be seeing the result of that.

interesting, thanks for the response.
 
As it's fairly a new website so it might happen. Keep working and you can see the impact.
 
Im sure it is temporary before you find yourself on page 1 :) All the best.
 
still not showing for any keywords doesnt look like my site has had any manual actions against it though. Has anyone experienced this kind of movement before?
 
It’s normal if your site is new, it goes up and down till around 6-8 months in

Though your surge of backlinks might be the cause of it too, especially anchor text & link velocity
 
Give it a time it's pretty much normal for new websites. Just do what you would usually do, add content build links and don't worry about it.
 
I wouldn't worry too much, I think it's just the sandbox. I have a similar aged website and experiencing the same thing.
 
I think I found out what was causing this. I think it was keyword density changed it to 2-3% and it looks like im ranking again for the low competition keyword.
