This is crazy

Has anyone experienced this. My site was on 3rd page day before yesterday, then came as first result (#1) for few hours yesterday and thrown back to its original position again later.

I am in fierce competition with other site to get top SERPs, but he seems to be winning (though my site has exact keyphrase.com)

 

Yea must be pretty thought if your site is the exact key phrase and your not in the top 10.
I have a website which is the exact key phrase 2 but i don't even show up for the keyword having 4k+ back link based on this tool:

 

yes.... completely depends on the backlinks & the quality of the same...

 

exact keyphrase in domain name helps but not helps 'a lot' ... you need to work more harder on building quality backlinks.

 

You need more backlinks then they have and better ones to get listed before them.

From page 3 to page 1 and back is big swing back and forth.

 

Happens to me all the time. It's a shame because I get my hopes up and everything, thinking I'll be able to stay ranked first.

 

Well at least your site shows for the keyword.
did you get any boast in traffic ?

 

I second this. Rankings are 1% keyword in url, 20% optimized content, and the remainder consists of the backlinking portfolio. IMHO!

 

Work more, this is natural. You just need some more power.

 

Don't forget that Google have more data centers, so your first request was served by some data center, second request by another data center.. That's the reason of different SERP imho

 

I think it depends on the quality of backlinks

 

dshah, SEO is a long-term process, so don't get discouraged. It shows that Google is changing the ranking for that keyword, so you just might end up as number one in a couple of weeks.

 

Thanks all for your inputs. I am trying to get as many backlinks (blog links preferred) as possible. If anyone interested, feel free to write to me (we can do 3 way)

 

If you haven't already done so. Go to their website and check it out. Work out what they are doing on there site as far as SEO is concerned. Then do a backlink check on them. Now once you know all that, out do them. You should be able to out SEO them once you know what they are doing.

Good luck

 

if your site has exact keyfrace then you should concentrate on Content

 

Googe makes alot of changes time to time and expect to be thrown around in rank.

Keep building content, inner links and backlinks and you should be fine

 

Buy a domain for a long a term horizon on which you making your web site.

Say 5yrs or 10 yrs.This also helps in to improve SERP.

Google also considers this.

 

SEO is ongoing you have to keep working at your domains at all times, your competitor's most likely are so you cant let them get the upper hand.

 

google is sometimes changing the value of the link weigth. i think your problem is related with this. give google 2 weeks . i think it will return in that time
