    i am confused. My website.

    Why is it that sometimes I rank 1st page for product keywords, lots of them and I get a lot of traffic, then sometimes I can never be found anywhere in Google for the same keywords, then about 1 month later I'm back ranking high again.. It seems to go back and forth back and forth between ranking high and low and usually I don't do anything in between to make it rank HIGH or LOW???????????

    Could a competitor be doing this somehow? What is going on?

    The rankings tend to fluctuate when a data center is updating, give it a couple of days and it will go back to its right place

    I always believe data center updating and another factor is on competition which are causing what you see right now. Nobody actually understand how their algo work in the first place and most of the time it's really hard to explain. It's not uncommon to see the fluctuation and you just have to accept the thing as being part of the game.
