Default Re: Site no longer appear in results for top keywords

Quote:
1. Site being penalized (check if you have any messages in webmaster tools on the right sidebar)
How can they be penalised when they have nearly all their pages in the main index, they still get plenty of first place rankings, we have employed no dodgy SEO techniques and there are no reports in GWT?

Quote:
2. Losing some very important backlinks
I know they havent lost any backlinks; I've been watching them like a hawk and as Im the only one who has established any links for them im sure this isnt the case.

3. Google's change of algorithm
Maybe!?

Quote:
Invisible text found. Method(s): Hardly visible text using very similar text and background colors.
Invisibility purpose: Impossible to say.
The invisible text that the site has highlighted is white text on a navy background so not sure how thats a problem? Also, Kgun could you remove the link (dont want this thread coming up for any company searches).

Cheers for the help guys but I'm leaning towards the idea of a sandboxing effect due to the fact that the keywords rankings that have been dumped are the most competitive ones?
