This is a recurring topic, but I am very very panicking right now...
I noticed a 90% "impressions" drop (from 60k to 5k) from 2013-03-05 to 2013-03-06.
My keywords dropped, and for a few of them I don't even appear in the first 25 search results pages that I checked.
This happened in just 24 hours, without me making absolutely any change on the website.
I'm really panicking now, I never did any black-hat SEO, I always followed Google "rules", and see where it leads me :( I believe I'm providing a good quality website, at least my members thank me for it, this means it should be good enough. I'm doing everything I can to provide quality. I really don't know what else to do apart from paying someone thousands of euros to help me with SEO.
Does someone have any idea about that scary drop?
I would love to follow each and every possible lead one could give me.
Thank you in advance,

Google releases many new algorithms each month and any of them may de-rank any number of sites. Unfortunately, your situation is a pretty common occurrence.
I would suggest following this disscussion on WebmasterWorld.com: Google Updates and SERP Changes - March 2013. From that forum thread, it is pretty clear that something happened on March 6th. The first person to report something is user Wilburforce:
Between yesterday morning and today my Home page has dropped back from page 5 to page 47 for key term.
But pretty soon other people are reporting problems too.
epmaniac: my main site has suddenly vanished
foxhunter: Any news on an algorithm change in the last 24 hours? Yesterday was the highest traffic day I have ever had, and today all but a few pages are nowhere to be found in the serps.
joe121: Yeah, I'm seeing HUGE changes today.
There are lots of theories as to what this algorithm update from Google is:
Panda update
Something to do with Europe
Penalization of a new link network
It is clearly a change that is effecting a lot of websites and nobody knows what is behind it yet.
Here is a forum that has put together a survey of sites hit by this update to try to figure out what is causing it: www.warriorforum.com/adsense-ppc-seo-discussion-forum/763655-take-survey-march-6th-google-update-lets-find-out-what-caused.html
