I rank #1 for some good keywords for my niche, and have held the rankings for quite a few months. Today though, my rankings for most keywords are jumping from #1 to #50 or more, back and forth. You can literally watch it go from #1 to #50 every couple of seconds using a SERPS tool. This has never happened to my sites before, any idea what the problem is? Should I just wait for it to settle back down again or is it something to be worried about? It is affecting my traffic and earnings.
What are you doing on your site in recent month? Include: webpage layout, title, keyword, desc... and other server change or you sell link or buy link, anything can you think about Give some clue
Thats what happened to me too for one of my sites. Was first page for over 3 months now I'm like 100+
Have you tried viewing the data through the different datacenters? Are your results differing between the data centers or in the individual ones as well? http://www.seologs.com/data-center-check.html Matt
I am also looking for answers mine was stable at 3-4 position for years, now it has been a few days at Number 8 position. I haven't done anything, wonder what is Google doing.
Join the club. I've been bounced around so much that I'm getting dizzy! One of my sites has all but disappeared, then it reappears and then it's dropped again, and no, I haven't done anything different with the site. It's been around for over two years with content being added weekly. We've got to deal with the great big Google machine and there isn't much we can do about it.
I'm having this problem as well and my traffic has significantly decreased, sometimes I get angry with google
