I'm sure this question has ben asked numerous times before but, I don't read this forum very often so please forgive me. For the past 6 months I have had 17 keyword phrases on pages 1 or 2 of Google. I have over 1000 bonafide links on my site (no links farm entries). Of those 1000 links a large percentage are directly related to my type of business i.e. travel, aircraft charters, pilot's information. I also receive betwen 200 and 250 hits a day. I usually check Keyword Tarcker evry Friday just to see what's happening. The usual movement of up or down one position has been the norm. Last Thursday I decided to check and was shocked to see some of the positions had gone to N/A while others went over the 150 range. Two of my keyword phrases remained in poisition 1 and 2. I have been checking everyday since then and one of the N/A returned to poisition 112 and a few others improved between 5 and 9 positions. They are still way over what I had until then. My questions are as follows: Does anyone know why this happenbed (I was told I must have commited a VIOLATION and when that happens Google send you to HE__). I didn't do anything different. Didn't do any speacial mailings for Links exchanges. My second questions is: When my SEO copmany asked me, about 4 months ago, if I want to pay them a monthly maintainence charge and I said no could the fact that no one follows up with the Search Engines on a regular basis cause my site to go into cyberspace. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
This is a volitile time in regards to Google's SERP. I would just "wait it out" and see where things settle. In the meantime, try to make up for the lost traffic by doing other things.
