Drop in Organic Traffic but Keywords are Still Ranking

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by asghar.paracha, Apr 17, 2016.

    One of my friend was asking me that, one of his website which was performing well and getting around 300+ Organic Traffic is now getting only 50 to 80 Organic Traffic. Keywords are stable and ranking is still fine but what reason for Organic Traffic drop?

    Is there anyone else facing same issue?

    If his keword rankings are in fact stable then its possible that the keywords he is getting traffic for might have taken a dip in terms of search volume. I have noticed this with my own sites in the past as well. Remember, though, even a tiny drop in keyword positions can reduce organic traffic quite a bit.

    We've had this problem recently but it fixed itself eventually. You can usually expect a drop in organic traffic from time to time. If it persists for a week or more though, then you have a problem.

    If this dropped in traffic has happened recently then may be it is because of the Google adwords 4 ad packs. As these Ads have pushed down the organic results a bit.

    It doesn't mean that the keywords is ranking fine it will drive regular or high organic traffic because its still depending on your site's experience to be able to trust by the visitors. Don't focus on getting rankings but more on providing unique and great user experience from the website.
