It looks like a penality.. Check the quality of the links and report bad links with a disavow tool.

That isn't a penalty but your site got tanked.
Google hardly penalize a site, if you lose your ranking and still indexed then it's not a penalty.
There could be three things:
1. You used blog networks and the links are getting rolled over.
2. Your links are getting deleted.
3. Anchor over optimization.

This is just semantics. People use the word "penalty" differently. He was penalized in my opinion. Lots of keywords drop on one day and it's a big drop isn't your site naturally losing links and moving down.
Losing 5 positions could be natural movement. Losing 215 positions isn't just a loss of links.

This same thing happened to me a couple of days ago, my site is nothing but gone pretty much. Let me know if you figured out what caused it.

Could be links devalued, competition passing you, losing links. Do some research and see what happened, it's usually not too difficult to pinpoint.

I would suggest evaluating your link profile and see if you notice anything strange. Since you haven't built any recently it shouldn't take too long to determine if something fishy is going on. Also as someone mentioned previously creating more quality backlinks would be a great idea!
hey man , not much changed , i already did that before posting

could be many things as others say but you were hit by some kind of penalty.
in one way or another you will need some link cleanup. did you check your webmaster tools yet? they will let you know if it is a manual penalty.

When something like this happens 9/10 times it is probably because an old blog network you used and backlinks going to your
website are being devalued and in return it is affecting your ranking. Go ahead and start building quality links back. If this is having
little affect then try to single out old links and disavow them.
