I have a website related to sweep stakes. I started working on it last 3 months ago and after doing a very little changes in on-page all the keywords (around 50-80) were started ranking in top 10 and improving in a natural way but sudden in between 24th to 28th there is a drop in all ranked keywords are most went down on 3rd - 5th page in Google. Simultaneously there is a drop in impression in webmaster. But i shocked when i checked that there is no difference in Organic traffic. its still going as usual normal. I checked each and every thing and but nothing found that i guess would be the reason for this sudden drop. Need your suggestion..
I suggest to check your backlinks. Make sure to check if you have lost major amount of backlinks. You can check by using https://ahrefs.com/ . See the graph in New/Lost backlinks after the date 24th August. If there is sudden increase in backlink losts then it might be the reason why your raking going down. Because i have seen after 24th-25th august huge number of backlinks got deindexed.
It happens due to anchor text stuffing (unnatural anchor text), now onwards, make sure your anchor text is natural, try building links on your brand name for better result.
From the information you've given, there doesn't appear to be anything obvious that would cause your rankings to drop. So, there could be any number of reasons why your site's rankings dropped. Without doing an SEO audit of your site, it's impossible to know. Any suggestions would just be blind guesses.
Naveen, beta this is DP, here we only talk about links, backlink, good links, bad links, quality links, no-follow links, do-follow links, PR Links, No PR links, links and only links. You better ask this question in Google forum
Hm when you dont see any chsnges in traffic then check other browsers. Sometimes it happens to me that in one browser I am page 1 and in others not findable.
I'm with SearchBliss on this. Hummingbird — August 20, 2013 Announced on September 26th, Google suggested that the "Hummingbird" update rolled out about a month earlier. Our best guess ties it to a MozCast spike on August 20th and many reports of flux from August 20-22. Hummingbird has been compared to Caffeine, and seems to be a core algorithm update that may power changes to semantic search and the Knowledge Graph for months to come. I would look there if you don't see any major changes to backlinks.
Within 3months if a website starts ranking for 50-80 keywords in TOP 10, then it doesn't sounds natural for Google. So, better check your backlinks to find any negative links passing to your website..,
Actually the website was not optimized properly.. I have done only on-page changes and keywords started ranking. We have not focused on back-link much in this period. We believe on self optimization for this project because there are already lots of back-link available. that's why..
