Hello. Got a regional website. Its just photo gallery and i has only two pages with text and on this pages i do my SEO. Results was good. All keywords in top 10. But 26.04.2011 i got a trouble. One page - very good and + position. Second page - very bad. I lost some positions from top10 to top 120. And then i try to find some keyword from second page - its just show me in SERP main page(my main page without text and not relevant to any keyword). But if i find another keyword in SERP i see my relevand second page. So result: some keywords from second page go to top 120 and no second page in SERP. and some keywords from second page go to top 20 from top 10 and show my second page in SERP(how in should be). Really im very scared, past 2 weeks, and i dont know what to do want back my positions
Try to get links for your second page and use particular keywords in anchor text to get good position.
Your positions are going to change....there is no way to stop that. Just keep backlinking your websites with good anchor texts and you will have a higher chance of staying on the top pages for longer periods of time.
Check your Google analytics account and pin point the keywords that resulted in drop in traffic. You badly need more pages for your website. Don’t expect wonders out of only 2 page website. Did you introduce some duplicate content in your pages? Because it seems that you page is hit by panda.
No duplicate. I got photo gallery website, and its for people, not for SE only. So i got many pages with photos, but only two with text - its not the problem. I got good positions few month. Maybe i bought too many links for second page or something else... dunno...
I have some questions 1) Have You changed pages name or create new website layout? 2) What Web hosting you are using and what is your hosting uptime? 3) Are you using any SEO Service? You could get quality back links, analyize your website competitor's content, backlinks. Remove duplicate content if any
Don't worry if it happens again. Just keep doing what you are doing, most times you will get your positions back, or get even better positions.
Don't worry about the position, it will get back in place. Just keep getting links for the second page and be patient.
from 10th to 120..well I guess that is a penalty 1. check content for duplicates (maybe someone has stolen yours) 2. in order to get the position - grow link base - this is the only solution
Nothing to worry it is a dynamic situation not flat. Everyone is competing for good rank so it's can happen. Have best try you can get better position than previous. Keep creating backlink and ad interesting content.
My suggestion is try to make more quality back link of your second page. Hopefully it will come up good page rank. Sometimes they does not update on due time.
I think this it my problem, that i has many backlinks for my second page. My main page and other pages dont have many backlinks, but this second got very much... i think google spotted it and do some filter to me... im just waiting and didnt do backlinks to this page(but get some good), but nothing helps (
I am experiencing the same. One of my site's homepage was ranking on first page for a keyword but now I can't even find it in first 60 pages for that keyword. Was ranking for around seven or eight months. And same thing happened to my another site - ranking dropped from number five to third page (Sometimes it comes on second page). It was ranking on top for around 2 years. Don't know the reason. I think backlinks will not an issue since a competitor can get backlinks to our sites..
