Drops?

Has anyone noticed any sitewide or near sitewide drops in rankings in G for old, well ranking, established sites over the last couple months or so? Not necessarily major falls, but certainly noticeable?

Has G been in a noticeable shuffle lately?

 

Nope, things have been unusually stable for me.

 

I did a bit back but managed to get it sorted by making some changes on my site that had the issues.

 

Has anyone noticed any general suffling over the last few weeks. Maybe a bit more so than normal?

 

I have, but I've also had host fluctuations going up and down, so I am sorting that out first then going back to seeing what's going wrong with Google.

 

Don't bother with that. It's Normal to have Fluctuation

 

Yep, same here. In and out of SERPS lie yo-yo. Its getting increasingly frustrating.

 

I've got a 11 year old site, PR6. Over the last week it has dropped to like 6th page for keywords where it was on page 1.

 

Today noticed that my site has fallen from the face of Google. Well not really, but for terms it has been ranked on page one for the past few months suddenly dropped 15-20 spots for each keyword, some of them completely dissapearing.

 

My sites have actually gained in the last few months .. so no issues for me

 

Same here. If anyone's having issues it must be because of competition, lack of updating a site, etc...

 

For some, yes, but overall, there isn't a noticeable change of that sort.

 

There have been a lot of threads about strange drops lately:

Similar situation here!

An 11 year old PR5 site, still #1 for some keywords but the key generic industry (very competitive industry) term where we've been on page 1 forever (literally as we were around before Google! ) we've now dropped to page 10 and are bouncing between position 90 and 130 ish.

I could understand dropping to page 2 or even 3 as were quite blase and hadn't focused on SEO in ages but there's no way that all the other 90 odd sites now ranking ahead of us are more relevant.

 

Strange things happening on my end, too..

 

When I've seen drops happen before and I wasn't affected then I've also taken this stance but this time it really is something different.

My site has dropped to position 100+ and is ranked worse than much less relevant sites with much lower PR and far fewer backlinks - it really doesn't make much sense.

But the key thing is that the drop is keyword specific, there are some terms where we're still #1, sadly though not the key keyword for our industry.

 

They'll be back at the top next week

 

my serps are fine, but my pagerank is all screwed up
