Did you drop in your rankings in mid December to late December on Google?
Did you have a #1 or #2 strong position for your blogs or websites and then dropped to #6?
Was your site a good long standing site and then you dropped all of a sudden?
I read some blogs here on Active Rain where the bloggers thought that this was Active Rain's algorithms but now in light of Matt Cutt's statement we know that this has nothing to do with Active Rain or how Google views Active Rain.
Then in the online marketing community there was a rumor that started to spread that Google had a mysterious #6 position penalty going on and Matt Cutts of Google denied originally that this was going on but after some research he discovered that there was some thing going on that was causing this to happen.
This is what Matt Cutts had to say:
"When Barry asked me about "position 6" in late December, I said that I didn't know of anything that would cause that. But about a week or so after that, my attention was brought to something that could exhibit that behavior. We're in the process of changing the behavior; I think the change is live at some datacenters already and will be live at most data centers in the next few weeks.
In general if you think a site might have a penalty (perhaps from past behavior) and you think the site is clean presently, you can do a reconsideration request in our webmaster console to ask Google to take another look at the site." source; Ineedhits.com news.
If you are still suffering this drop in your site and you believe that your site did not deserve this drop you can contact Google and ask for a reconsideration.
Just keep on blogging anyways. If this did happen to you; you can climb up very fast with some quick longtail keyword rich posts that you can write now.
