Unusual Google Ranking drop down?

Discussion in 'Google' started by sallysmith, Oct 6, 2010.

    Hi.

    I have noticed an unusual drop down in rankings of a few different websites. I am not sure of the source of these drop downs. Have some suggestions?

    Regards,
    sally

    Hard to say, unless we get more specifics on those sites (are they linked, the industry, how old are they etc.)

    Usually it's something that you did yourself to make that ranking drop ...

    other than that, the problem would be within the google changes

    I think it's because of spam backlinks mostly from blog commenting

    What sites and what terms? Your question is too broad.

    It really depends... moreover, blog commenting won't make you go down... there is no way for Google to know if this was made on purpose to harm your site, for example.

    Cheers!

    It's pretty hard to tell without knowing the URL.
    Have you started selling links from your sites?

    I didnt say that blog commenting will harm the site. But lately blog commenting links have been getting discounted, so if his site was ranking partly due to the comments, his rankings may fall due to Google discounting blog comment links

    If not for a penalty, your competitors might have been working harder than you to overtake your position.

    Hi,

    Two reasons behind this would be:
    1. sites in sandbox
    2. sites were punished

    all the best,

    Hi,

    Thanks all for your answers. And I think I get what I was looking for - most of you don't have probably the same problem so Google haven't change anything recently....
    And Excel, I don't think it's Google Instant - it might have an impact on number of traffic but shouldn't have an impact on search engine ranking results.

    Thanks once again, and if someone found something unusual with the rankings, please let me know!

    sally

    Do you build your backlinks with only one anchor text? This may be the reason why your ranking drops.

    Check out this blog post that I found. anchor text.

    Maybe a new Google algorythm or maybe just the usual Google dance, it can be very annoying!
