Till August 13th, i did had a decent SERP in Google, but the next day morning all of the sites disappeared from the top places. No where in the top 20. The Keyword which has very low competition was in the 1st position earlier. But today, even that disappeared from the rankings. Even the blog results disappeared overnight. What could be the reason?
Does the web hosting has any role in this? Say if the google crawls the site when the sever was down for maintenance reasons, will it cause this sort of adverse effect?
That was the issue when Google Webmaster tool reported that the site has been crawled on Aug8. But today when i checked out the same, the last crawled date was on Aug13. Interestingly from Aug13th onwards, I'm facing this problem.
Last week may be on Aug6th or so ... i've changed the images in my site to noadware-free-anti-spyware-download-graphic.jpg from noadware.jpg
Is this anything to do with the fall of SERP? Except this change i've nothing added or deleted.
Google is conducting updates to the page rankings and systems. This can have an effect on your sites serps and pr during this time. I would not worry about it just yet. If it has not straightened out within the next couple weeks then I might worry. I have seen discussions on this same problem at other forums over the past year as well. It seems to come back once Google finishes their datacenter updates. The bad part is if you get a lot of your traffic from the serps then this can be a real bottom line killer during that time. I hope it works out for you soon.
hostnetric is on the correct. See every time I buy a link Google takes me off the pages for about 2-3 days no more. Then places me back on them. last time (this week) after buying a link I went from page 8 to page 3. So you still will be back soon. I have a strong suspicion you will also be up the page on your keywords.
Can i go ahead in rewriting the content of the webpages and conentrate on link building from articles and directory submission.
You might take a penalty in the short term for doing this. Remember though that you could suffer a long term penalty also if Google believes the changes are not related. They are a strange beast. Could go the other way afterwards also. You may see your serp improve because of better content related material. Always a craps shoot when dealing with Google and their system.
Same thing happend to me, aug' 15th... had great ranking and them, boom, overnight i went 6-7 pages down... its good to hear that im not alone on this and that ranking will be back...

Yea quite common during update time. Frustrating as all get up, but common.
Yes, I noticed this with a few of my sites that have decent rankings. Sometimes they disappear for days, then return with better or the same positioning...
When i checked the site content with copyscape, i found that 5-6 sites had the same content. So fearing that would affect the SERP, i've rewritten the content. Not 100%, but made significant changes in the content where copyscape pointed that it was a duplicate content.
How much time GOOGLE will take to update its algo? Can i hope that my SERP's would be back again?

If you had duplicate content then you would take a penalty for that content only. After Google crawls your site and sees that the duplicate information is gone then you will have to wait it out until they redetermine your new position. You may have to be patient since they tend to do things a bit slow sometimes and I am sure this is just simply due to the amount of information that they receive on a daily basis.

I purchased a site a year or two ago that used free content and it did well. I decide to make a similar site on another topic. It did OK and then he got some hate from Google. I checked and the site I had purchased had content the was typically showing up on zero to four other sites. The one I did...forget about it, some were duplicated over 100 times.
I have one site that has completely unique content that dropped from over 1000 Google SERP visitors per day to less than 10. It happened around August 12.
after some days if you still can not find your site, maybe your site is got sandboxed, you have to get some high links, more than pr 4, the more the better, then you will have chance to get your site reindexed by google.

There may be some fundamental change going on that has affected some sites and not other. I have one site and have heard from a number of other developers that things changed around August 12th. It may be something to do with an normal update (Google dance?) or something that is widespread but only affecting a number of sites.
