My site www.bloggerplugins.org dropped from #1 to #6 for the keyword blogger widgets This change took place all of a sudden. I didn't make any changes to the site recently.. and i have plenty of backlinks with the anchor text blogger widgets I have been permanently on # 1 for 4-5 months and i thought the site links would appear soon..(they have found 8 sitelinks in my webmaster tools) Do anyone know why this happened..? To Mods:I hope this is the best section for this thread..If i am not right please do move it..
checkout your backlink sites may be they have been dropped or other competitors sites have done extra efforts.Do analysis of other competitors baclinks also and see what the new things they have done.Then start promoting your site with proper analysis and you defiantly achieve top position again.
the current #1 has 41 google backlinks and 247 yahoo backlinks. whereas mine has 545 google back links and 21,591 yahoo back links..
Yeah but how about the quality and relevance of your backlinks? Quantity gets trumped by quality in this case.
Have you bought any links? Have you posted in a forum like this asking or looking for links? Google is known to anonymously frequent this and other known link sales hangouts. Also your competition may have found a issue with your website that they reported to Google in a spam report or paid links report. These won't necessarily always end up in a penalty but could reduce your trust value and reduce your rankings. This is what it sounds like happened in this case.
no never.. i haven't bought any links.. and not even tried to link exchange..i automatically get enough links to my site.. i had a similar experience with the keyword blogger plugins(that too had dropped earlier.) but it again came back to #1 after some days..
Try to get quality backlink for you site. And than see the result you website will get its position back.
IMO, google changed algorithm about PR calculation, backlink calculation, and the change took place yesterday
i have got some PR6 backlinks and many PR5 ones.. hey its back to #1 again on google.co.in Hope it will soon get back to #1 on other domains also.. Why does this happen temporarily..?
It could have something to do with requesting the information from different data centers... Not all data centers hold the same SERP results.
the ranks are always jumping as google is trying to update their searches everyday, it should only be temporary
