You might remember I posted back in December that a client site was ranking well (1st SERP for most keywords) and then dropped off the Google index completely.

Well today the site is back - almost to the same position as before.

I did wondered if the site had been hijacked as the top result for the domain was another site!! But that seems to have gone now.

I'm not 100% sure whether it was Sandboxed or the site was hijacked. But at least its back (exactly 3 months to the day btw).

Thanks for all the suggestions here but in the end being patient was the only thing I could do.

Thanks again.
