HI All, I'm really annoyed and slightly baffled by the following. I rank highly for quite a few phrases and the most searched word on other engines I come up 1st or second. I had a failry good spot last year for this word on google but slipped to page 6 earlier in the year. I spent the last month or so building good back links with relevant sites and also doing some tidying up of the site. After a week or two this started to show good results and I was on my way to the top of page 2. HOWEVER. Tonight i find that i've dropped to PAGE 10! Many other companies in my market place have also been moved down but some not at all and none by what seems to be the same extreme that I have. What's going on?!
This is what is known as google dance where the SERP moves up and down over a given period of time and settles afterward. There is no need to press the panic button
OK I continued to hover around page 8 for some time so I emailed google to ask if i had been penalised. I got a standard reply email saying they had looked at my site and if it wasnt breaking any rules it would be re-added to the index on the next update. I was already in the index, just ranking poorly but I was greatful they had looked even if it was just an automated reply. THEN TODAY coincidence or not, I appear back at the position I was 10 days ago. :~) a jump of 60 places.
Everyday, the new web or blog are coming with the same topics or posts. So competition between sites or blog are hardest. We need Build back links always, evaluate our website and analyze competitor website.. I try to make each of my post in the google top ten.. We must be there if not we will not have traffic.. If your position dropped that you must to do , Analyze your competitor or website that exist in the top.. learn about that.. and compare with your website..
You are experiencing google dance right now.. Google has made some updates on your site, so wait for a while after the google finishes updating.. It actually takes 2-3 days for google to finish the updates completely.
