Sudden drop in website ranking
-
Since past 2 week my website www.micromaxtablet.in is experiencing sudden drops in the site ranking. I can understand this regression in the site ranking is not because of Goggle Panda update, and their is some other reason. Kindly let me know what could be the other possibilities, and plz also suggest how to get it fixed.
Keyword for which the site had the best rankings (in top 3) was "micromax tablet". Now it shows on the second page in the google search and to make it worse, it's losing its position almost every second day.

Takeshi is right that newer websites can fluctuate at the beginning. You need to make sure that you are using the right type of link building techniques. Go for quality over quantity, find relevant websites that match your industry (so technology in your case) and strike up a relationship with them.
Go for branded links, keep an eye out for the percentage of brand links against anchor text links, too many anchor text links and Google will penalise you.

Your site is ranking for #2 for me (from San Jose, California). Have you tried verifying your rankings with other tools/locations?
It looks like your site hasn't been around for too long. Newer sites tend to move around a lot more in the SERPs as Google tries to figure out where you belong.
Your site only has a PageRank of 1. The site that is outranking you (on my computer) has a PageRank 4. You could definitely benefit from getting higher authority links. Avoid any spammy or overly optimized anchor text. Here is a good list of link building ideas if you need help:

Can the sudden addition of a new section of a website cause the site to be sandboxed?
Hi there, We have noticed a sudden drop in traffic for certain keywords. It seems to correlate precisely with a different department adding a whole new recruitment section to the site. However there doesn't appear to be any keyword cannibalization or duplicate content issues. Any ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks

Penguin 2.1 update, ranking dropped.
Hi, My website was hit by Google's new update like never before, first my ranking dropped back in May when Google rolled out with their second Penguin update, back then i was outsourcing my SEO since most of the time i was working on optimizing my local maps. As soon as noticed my traffic dropped i start doing SEO my self, I removed over optimized keywords on website ( title, meta description) then i analyzed my link profile and found that i had a lot of commercial anchor text linking from spammy websites, mostly blog comments. Its been over 4 months since I used Google's disavow tools in hoping that will help me get my raking back, but i still see these spammy links in my profile, 90% of them are nofollow anyways , so i'm not sure if disavow tool helped me at all. With this Penguin 2.1 update my website ended up on page 4-10 for 90% of my keywords http://screencast.com/t/3bcw8LUxpj Im not sure what would be the best way out this, should i buy a new domain and start fresh?Please let me know if you want to take a look on my link profile and give your opinion. Looking forward to your help!

Wrong Page Ranking
Higher-level page with more power getting pushed out by weaker page in the SERPs for an important keyword. I don't care about losing the weaker page. Should I: 404 the weaker page and wait for Google to (hopefully) replace it with the stronger page? 301 the weaker page to the stronger page? NOTE: Due to poor communication between content team and myself, the weak and strong pages have similar title tags (i.e, "lawsuits" and "litigation")
