Why is my page's location in the Google search results lower than before?

3 months ago the site was in Top 10 and from yesterday totaly dop to 41-50
What can be the problem ??

it is a PR5 site http://www.tourism-bulgaria.com and PR is still 5
I have about 30 new pages with similar meta description, could be this the problem, or google see this as duplicate content may be??

How often Google change the SERPs ? Can i a have again TOP 10 SERPs with modified page content , titles, description etc.?

Hi,

There may be several issues, but one major issue is the large lists of keywords on many of the pages....Google would definitely see these as spamming. You should make you page titles different and associated directly with the pages they are about.

Some of the metatags (descriptions and keywords) are way too long. They should also be directly related with the page they are on.

Those are a couple of things that could be hurting you.

Good luck,

Ken

When every single page of my site apears lower than before what can be the problem, change in algorithm, low backlinks or google sees duplicate content?

Google now has human spotters who check web pages for violations of the Google TOS, and when they find them they give them a penalty and demote them, or depending on the severity of the violation outright ban sites completely. They are also constantly developing new Google algorhythms specifically to catch people breaking their rules and demote them. Google specifically tells you not to put lists of keywords on your pages. I would agree that is a big part of the problem. Just because you got away with it 3 months ago doesn't mean you are still getting away with it now.

That's the first thing I would address. If those keywords are tags for bookmarking sites, you should at least label them as such.

It looks like you are also bolding an awful lot of keywords, which looks spammy, and could be considered over-optimization by Google, which would significantly lower your rankings.

Excellent presentation and placement of your google ads, tho.
