I seem to have been blacklisted, or at least completely de-ranked, from Google for searches for 'property'. I went from the top 10 down to... who knows? Anyway, I can only assume that this is down to keyword stuffing. Despite the fact that I haven't intentionally stuffed the keyword 'property' into the page - and it's in the domain name as well, which doesn't help when I need to print the site name on the page.

Now I can remove the word as much as possible but it'll be to the detriment of the user. Is there any way of putting in an appeal with Google or what?

Why don't you wait a few days to see if you really are "blacklisted".

When Google is updating site position may move around a lot

Well it's been knocked from the top 10 to God knows where in the last week or two so I can only imagine that it's been blacklisted... otherwise I assume the drop wouldn't have been so drastic.

I've seen worse

I've also seen it recover

Check your logs carefully

Was your website up all the time?

If the site was down or slow when the bots crawled it might explain part of the issue

No, I'm not banned as such but I was in the top 10 for generic searches and now I appear nowhere (or at least a few hundred results down... I haven't been able to find it)

Erratic.

No, it's definitely not. It was up there in 7th or 8th about 2 weeks ago. I'm assuming that there's no way you can appeal against this then? I can only assume that I've been penalised for alleged keyword stuffing. Maybe I should change the domain name

I don't think you've been penalised at all.

Google tweaks their algorithm now and then. This can affect rankings. Also, websites which have better SEO than your website can overtake you...
