I had 2 keywords on one of my pages on my site. With these 2 words people search it over 2k times per day on google.co.uk and i was position 4-6. Some how these keywords were deleted and after seeing my incoming traffic from google drop i checked it out and re added the words. So, my question is what are the chances of me regaining the results i had for those keywords? i have links on other sites with these keywords as title.
you don't have to stand from the scratch just get the keyword up and analyze how the keyword manipulates your ranking and traffic...
Remember if you do that type of activity, it will not affect the result of your site keywords. it just change the position to some points back. But not remove from the search.
