Is it normal for me to rank #18 on one keyword for quite a while (about a week or so) because i was doing active link building, but then suddenly i woke up today and found out i dropped all the way to #37 Why did I suddenly drop out of the rankings so fast !? Is this normal...
Maybe this is another stupid panda uptade your you need to increase backlink velocity.But that its common because that happends with alot of people.I am really not sure but it may be a panda update because maybe you have bad content on your website or blog.I would recommend you make something totally created by you with alot of information and spin it.That way it can be totally unique.
..hmm i have a few articles on my site they were all uniquely written cause I tested on copyscape, no copies found what exactly is backlink velocity?
It will be possible if your website having low back link are very weak presence on internet. You have to weight some time it is normal.
hi check for the site , sometime little change in the site harm a lot, check it of the changes and for the crawling issues .
Website rankings change when Google Panda algorithm occurs.If your website is good enough and of quality,your ranking will remain consistent and if your website is weak like low quality,low backlinks,your rank will go down
Well, anything could be the reason for the drop. Here is a video from Matt Cutts talking about most possible reasons for the drop... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gx04qNrCbnk
As Digitalwebman says, it probably the Google Dance. However check the links you have built previously, some of those could have been affected by the Google updates and that could have an effect on your sites rankings
