For the past few months i have been targetting a few keywords, and regularly check their search volumes in google (while looking for related keywords). Today something strange has happened, keywords that were always listed as getting thousands of searches a month (10,000 - 160,000) are now being shown as getting only hundreds of searchs a month (300 - 500). has this happened to anyone else recently? any idea what is going on?
With the God of G, who really knows, but don't base your plans on what changes from one day to the next, could be seasonal trends, change in data centers, or some such anomaly. Check back in a few days and compare the numbers, you might find they are much as they were before. Main thing, don't stop what you are doing now for promotion, just keep moving forward and eventually everything will even out.
yes it did happened to me last month i was checking back 2 days later and it went back to the first results i was having i am not sure what was the problem
