2 week back one of my blog was at 11th position in google search for a keyword. After Some time it moves to 12th and then I did some changing in meta description, title, H1,H2 headers and my sites moved to 20th position.. Again I reviewd some of my compititor and started building some backlink. Today my sites is on 1st page(last position). I have done a lots of work to rank for that keyword. What should I guess, is it only google dance as said in many post here or my work has really helped? I have 18 backlinks in google search, more than 1300 backlinks in yahoo , pr1.
Google has recently updated its index and added new ranking criteria factor of site performance in its ranking factors. SERP change all the time even on different hours in a day so its nothing to worry about as long as your position is improving.
How old is your site? I do not think your site would get a stable ranking in Google unless your website has enough of age and link popularity. Only 18 links according to Google link: search operator is too little anyway.
I have to say that ti is pretty normal for our site performance. Changing from 11th position to 12th is very normal since you are not the only one ranking for the keywords. I think you need just to do more seo work such as more link building job. You can try to get more quality links from relevant site in your niche.
Hi, My domain is approx 9 month old and it was hosted 4 month back. In webmaster tool, google show more than 1000back-links nad in yahoo more than 1300.
That's natural mate. Google is always on updates. Fighting spam and getting the accurate links for each searchers (users). Have you already read this old post by Matt Cutts in his blog? http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/explaining-algorithm-updates-and-data-refreshes/
there's a lot of competition on Google , it may be due to some changes in meta and H1 ,H2 tags but it happen only for some days , if you have quality back links then it comes again at it's position .
Today I posted a thread in DP theat my site has jumped from 2nd to 1st position since last 2 days and just after some time today when I check for the same keyword my site was moved to third position. I have not done any changing today. Can any one explain the reason. My site Google search for that keyword
Well, do you mean 1st to 3rd position or page? If it is position, then that is a competitor out ranking you in Googles eyes. If it is 3rd page, then wait for a few days and see what happens...We see this often on the forum.
Everyday when we face a new problem we learn something new.. Yesterday I posted a thread when my ranking was improved when I was on 1st page for a key word http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1777779 Today, I posted a new thread when I moved from 1st to 3rd page for same keyword in afternoon. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1777779 and again by evening I am in 1st position and starting this thread.. After reading many forums, google webmaster forum I came to know about Google datacentre rotation and relaxed that it is just an usual google Dance but nothing else. But still I want some expert here to explain it more.
smsinhindi, You pretty much got it, however, the google datacenter rotation is probably just one factor, just remember, your not competing against Google, your competing against the other sites ranking for the same keyword(s), they may have done something to boost their ranking, thus, lowering yours and vice versa. -BlastFree
Thanks Blastfree.. As i have realized that the only think i am lacking is my patience , I need to work more on it than SEO.. just joking.
Well at my end your site shows at the 10th position. You may have to start doing some bookmarking or proper SEO for the keyword, as Google seems to have this dancing way in the search engines. If you have to maintain the position, start getting some valuable backlinks with the keyword as your anchor text.
You want some expert to explain it for you? Well, smsinhindi maybe English is not your first language so I will be compassionate. But, I see this attitude time and again here at DP and I feel it is simply rude. What ever happened to 'please' and 'thank you'? Instead I frequently read "give me!" Some expert should educate others, every day for free simply because these people do not want knowledge enough to seek it out on their own? Is this Indian/Asian culture? Is this how it works? I'm sorry, I am not trying to be rude. I am seriously perplexed by this. I am American of Italian decent and I have learned the exact opposite. I expect no help, nothing free, and have worked for every thing I have. I don't say this is right, or better. I am saying this to make the point that it is beyond my comprehension to demand free things.
There is major update currently rolling out. This fluctuate in website ranking across Google DCs is pretty common anyway. I would recommend you not addict too much about this. I had experienced about this before. Even it is hard to predict the result but I would say - The change like this tend to better than worse. Be patient and keep fighting.
