No update that I can see. As others have said it's likely your site. Penalties do tend to come on weekends for some reason.
Is it google dance or my website got penalized?

- Start date
- They have 0-3 backlinks. Most of them don't have any.
- I rank my main page. It has more than 120 linking domains, more than 900 backlinks. MY DR is 27.
- The niche is Entertainment/Fashion
What is wrong with this? I have quite a few decent links from decent sources

Can't you see how your ranked page doesn't belong?

The 1st page.
Or maybe the keyword as a whole.
Do you have a strong site in the same niche? Try creating an inner page on it and see what happens. Build maybe 1-3 link to it.
I always create new pages on my website. They do not rank until I send new links to them but takes many weeks.
And none of my inner pages were ranking on the first page of Google, only my Main page, even though I was buying backlinks on my inner pages too.
They can rank on the first page only if it is the exact match

I mean completely different site.
Maybe even big 3rd party site that is already ranking. Pinterest etc.
So you want me to create a board on Pinterest and send the links on it in order to test how does it rank?

Your own site would be ideal.
The point is to prove what page type is working for the keyword.
On the other hand... it can all be just fluctuation and rankings will return in a week

Not only one keyword dropped down. All of them dropped from pages 1-3 to pages 7-9
There are times when things happen on google and no matter what you do you're never able to explain it. You need to understand that there is so much that google will not tell you. You just have to be sure that you are on the right track. You should therefore be monitoring your site all the time because you may have been hacked.
Hacked? What did the hacker do then?

Your problem has signs of a penalty written all over it.
Yes, I understand that.
What I have to do? There is no mention of penalty in my Google Search Console

Well, sometimes the manual penalty messages take a little while to show up.
In the case of an algorithmic penalty, Google would keep you guessing, and not share any information with you.
In this case, if you don't know how to audit your website, then perhaps you should have somebody more experienced look deeper into it.
At the moment, we're kind of stuck playing a guessing game without any real information.
Guys, I see that my drop in ranking happened at the same period as Google released it's new algorithm.

What do you think about it? Can it be not the penalty, but the result of the algorithmic change? Or I try co console myself in vain?
