Suddenly rank went down of my website

[shira]

Suddenly the rank of my site went to a way lower position on search engines results (for different keywords). Not only on google, but also altavista. Is such a fluctuating normal? Or am I being punished for "link building" which involves advertising on other sites, hoping to boost both PR and traffic to my site.

I really hope that my website is not against search engine rules, so that I am being punished for that. If so, I would like to know what should be done to reverse the situation.

Anyway, my question; is it normal for a website to suddenly lose position in search engines. If so, what should be done to reverse that?

I do have a possible explenation for the position drop; maybe my website went up in position on other keywords, and down on these keywords???

Thanks.

What would make you think your website is against search engine rules?

[shira]

Well, there are soo many search engine rules and it is not easy to evade them, especially if you want to optimalize your website for higher rank (PageRank). Because there was a sudden drop in rank, I feel that I am being punished for something. But there is no particular reason I would think that my site is against rules, for example, I have never received any complaint email.

I have recently bought some links to my site and I am afraid that this might be against search engine rules. I fear that this may be the consequence. But I am not sure ofcourse. The fluctuating in rank may be something different.

I think you are using "Black hat SEO".
