1) Keep securing good-quality links. 2) Don't worry about short-term drops. I've had keywords drop precipitously, then come back within days or weeks. I had one competitive keyword for which I was ranking about #4 or #5. It dropped out of the top 100. Now it's back to the top of the second page and rising. These ups and downs are not unusual.
Kinda hard to say since we don't know why your rankings dropped, did you sell any links of get links from bad places? Is your competition working twice as hard as you? Did you change anything at all about your site?
@ninjashoes No, I am not selling any link. And not getting link from bad sites... @USPB competitors were there previously also
i am agree with Jim. you shud work to get backlinks for your site. It just happen, don't worry about it...............
SE's do pay attention to fresh links, and not just fresh content that people always talk about. When I leave my site alone for a while I do sometimes notice drops of 5 or 10 positions sometimes but after building some new links from new domains that arent currently in my link profile I see those rankings rise again. So the old advice of keep building links does have some value for this very reason even if most of the people who give the advice dont realise why it helps.
Constant linkbuilding And don't worry for new sites this is called the google dance 2weeks 1 month should be back Regards
Maybe try to work on your content more than on your backlinks. Backlinks will slowly start to be less significant than the content, where good content will mean content optimized with the latent semantic optimization model. There's a conference in Germany those days about it. I hope it get popularized soon.
