My past couple of days was like a nightmare. My site was suspended twice for over using CPU quotas, so it went offline for 2 days. I am using Joomla CMS and I have a installed plugin to boost my keyword which shows some search terms from the meta keywords at the bottom of the page.
After all this mishaps my keyword ranking dropped, I have lost my most important keywords which was in the 2-18 positions are now not in the top 100 list. Please help me with this.

Short diagnosis and priorities: the symptoms described by point to two plausible causes — temporary crawl/index loss from the hosting suspensions, and site‑wide low‑value or keyword‑stuffed content created by the Joomla plugin. First priorities are to check Search Console for any Manual Actions or security messages and to inspect index/coverage data so the exact failure mode (manual action vs. crawler/HTTP errors vs. indexation queue) is known. ()

Concrete, ordered checklist (apply in this order, with backups and a staging site before changing live code):

  • Verify the Manual Actions and Messages panels in Google Search Console (alerts here are explicit).
  • Inspect affected URLs with the URL Inspection / Indexing report and the Coverage/Pages report to see whether pages are “Crawled – currently not indexed,” “Discovered – currently not indexed,” or returning 4xx/5xx.
  • Check server logs and hosting for 5xx errors and connection timeouts during the downtime window — extended outages can cause pages to be dropped and slow recovery.
  • Temporarily disable the keyword‑injecting plugin on a staging copy (full backup first), then compare rendered page source and meta/robots tags for hidden keywords, injected lists, or accidental noindex/robots blocks.
  • If a Manual Action appears, follow the report’s remediation steps, document fixes, and submit a Request Review. If no manual action, fix technical errors, resubmit the sitemap and request indexing for priority URLs. (developers.google.com)

On backlinks and quick “fixes”: several replies urged link building or automated tools (, ). Avoid automated link‑building, link schemes or paid links — those can trigger link spam manual actions. Focus on fixing quality issues first, then earn editorial links naturally. (developers.google.com)

Timing and monitoring: short outages often recover once pages are stable, but indexing and ranking can take days–weeks to normalize; manual‑action reviews may take longer. Continue monitoring Search Console and Analytics, log every fix (dates, files changed, plugin removed), and only request review after all affected pages are corrected and reachable. and were prudent to flag the plugin as suspect; ’s prompt about official notification is right — Search Console is the authoritative source for penalties.

Do Article submission (Do-Follow) and Forum posting and high pr directory submission and social bookmarking on those keywords , which you want in ranking. It works a lot and very fast..Just Try

Did you receive an official Google notification about your ranking loss?

remove the plugin
there is NO automated software that does not penalise you
go read the instructions in the Google webmaster pages about how to get re-indexed after being deleted
getting back into search engines is much more difficult than getting into search engines

You should change your on page first then do some off page work,like link building for your various key word,and do some social book marking for instant search result in google.

don't worry, do forums, blog commenting, blog, article and PR posting with do follow sites.

First find the reason why have you been dropped. Once you do that, remember not do the same mistakes again. Join social bookmarking websites and share your webpages on these websites. Regular posting of blogs will also help a lot. Try these methods. Browse online for articles which will help you to recover your position. Writing blogs is another of the most important things you can do.

If have you have not been doing anything that violates the Google webmaster guidelines, your ranking should come back. In the meantime you have to keep building as many back-links as you can.

I believe losing ranks are quite normal with google. To keep in the same place or improve the ranking, you need to build quality links after on-page optimization. Use of automated software is not at all advisable. Just try some Press Releases. They would certainly help in bringing back to your position.

Don't take any panic.To get back your rank,follow your competitor,do what they done,check their back link and drop a link there.And also do what they didn't do.

Remove the plugin and promise yourself that you are not gonna use any automated link building tool.And also upload some fresh content and keep building quality links. You will be back soon

I follow 3 methods to improve ranking to my website such as Blog posting, Forum posting, Article submission. I have got good result by following these steps.
