hi, my website sesile.com had rank 4 since long time, recently i started working actively on it and i started ranking far better for my desired keywords in the search results since a month. then 10 days ago i convinceced webmaster of few rank 4 and 5 relevant quality websites to put one - way links to me on their home pages with the hope to get rank 5. and for my great surprise an hour ago i see rank 3 for my website... WHAT IS GOING ON HERE, PLEASE? then i had a look at my only competitor, the had droped from 5 to 4 also in the last hour.... is this some kind of temporary thing or....??? we still rank well for our desired keywords, but can we hope that the rank will get reapired in few days or????
Hey Susan, There's been a big PageRank update recently. Every so often this happens and things go a little haywire for a while. Just ignore your fluctuating rank, and soon enough it should settle down. Of course, when it does the rank could be the same, lower or higher. If higher that's great, if lower then it's back to the coalface... Good luck. Mike.
