Ranking for keyword constantly going down

    Hello. My site is http://windows8center.com and you can most likely guess, I am aiming for the keyword "Windows 8."

    For some strange reason, sites are picking other sites over ours to linkback. As a result, my #4 ranking on page 1 for this keyword has dropped to #8/#9. I don't understand why so I'm wondering if any of you have any advice.

    Compared to our competitors (no offense), some of them look more spammy than us, and don't use proper grammar, and also have slow load times.
    We always source our external sources, and we don't copy material.

    Anyone have any idea why my search engine ranking is taking such a hit?
    Thanks.

    its because of competition, just continue building links... if you think you're doing good it will pay off just be patient.

    If the sites are that bad (and obvious spam), report them to Google. They're exploiting a loophole that needs to be plugged.

    It is very normal to change rankings in SERPs everyday.
    Just continue your link building strategy if you think you are doing the good deed.

    The competition is very hard now, so keep on doing your SEO.

    Hardwork and patience will take you to your goal.

    Unfortunately, grammar is less important in such cases than the amount and the diversity of backlinks one builds, and I believe, this is the case here. However, I'm a bit puzzled, as slow loading time may affect one's position in Google results. I would suggest to keep optimizing your online presence. Such websites as those of your competitors' don't live long.

    I'm not building links. I just let sites link back to me. I've link exchanged with sites in the same niche but I haven't actually gone out to build links myself. Am I supposed to? How do I do this?

    the keyword is very competitive and you should do hardwork in linkbuilding to get the rankings back. Create quality backlinks and after sometime your domain will rise-up.

    Don't stop your link building especially that you have lots of "real internet marketer" competition. So the idea is, continue to optimize. Increase the number of targeted relevant keywords, try to work long tail titles, etc... continue your link building strategy and kill your competitors. That's how to win. :) If you stop building links, if you stop working, optimizing, if you stop growing relevant keywords, then you lose. That's the game of internet marketing.

    Keep a good balance & continuous touch in your optimization strategies. Mostly try to go for dofollow backlinks coz they are more juicy in driving traffic as well as ranking in SERPs.

    Your site is affected by Google Dance. Basically, it happens to new sites and going up/down isn't unusual.

    However, what is your domain age and competitors? Yours and their PR and amount of backlinks? Did you get a high amount of backlinks in a short time (unrelated backlinks)?
    I wish we could help you but the fact is, you should just keep on getting backlinks and working on SEO.

    Keyword ranking is totally a research work. All you need is to put some efforts for getting the exact positioning according to that particular keyword on a routine basis. You can also utilize some tools like Google ad word tool for fast research. And according to the results you get here you are supposed to put some efforts for off site techniques.
