Confused about my ranking drop

    I am not very experienced in SEO but I have been working on my site www dot propertyofcyprus dot com and I was moving up slowly and for the last week I have been in the 90's range, a few minutes ago I checked to see where it is and I found it at 300+, I was shocked especially after all the work I have done on it the last few days (stuff I am learning on this forum) writing and using H1 and much more. I would like to know if this is normal or did I make a big mistake that I need to undo. The worst part is that I was feeling like I was starting to know what I was doing now I feel like I don't have a clue

    I changed the Home page opening from a question asking " Are you interested in property in Cyprus? If you are then you found the right place." to "Property of Cyprus is your source for property in Cyprus" I changed the navigation words from buying, selling a home to buying or selling property (property is the key word here instead of home) I also added a featured property on the home page with a featured property page + a few other things I can't think of now.

    maybe you've got the word property all over the page, that it looks spammy to Google. Write in a way that sounds natural to human customers.

    When I change something on my site, sometimes I experience a temporary drop, only to get a higher ranking later.

    Do you do link building with related sites?
