My website remained on top for more than 2 years for targeted keywords and market. I used to put two new posts a month. I couldn't post anything new for last two months just to realize that it's lost its rank to #4. What immidiate steps should I take to regain the position?
Your website lost rank and remove also from google index if you doing Black hate SEO and give wrong information in your website . so you should doing that carefully .
May ypu are not so much active about your website. Or your information, services and contents may not be so much powerful or may be copied yet from someplace!
It can be due to numerous reasons. Maybe your competitors have superior websites with better content and backlinks. This will push them above you. Also, check your backlinks for any toxic links and try get them removed (if any). I would just go back to adding quality content on a regular basis and start building some more quality links to your website to help it get back to the top.
It's possible for several reasons. Try to update the content first by adding new posts. Hope you haven't change the site's on page SEO by changing site's title, meta descriptions, keyword density etc. Have you checked the domain authority recently? May be there is a drop in domain authority or other sites gained better DA while your site remain at same level. Do off page SEO in this case.
It may simply be due to fluctuations in the search results and not related to changes in your website. Google is always experimenting with algorithm updates and changes and this can cause websites to move around in the SERP's. Creating and updating a site with high quality content will certainly help to maintain it position though.
To increase your rank you need to build your traffic and your backlinks. Backlinks is one of the most improtant to SEO your site and make high page rank
There is a two reason for drop in the ranking. The first one is your competitor is doing very good compare than you. So please analyze your competitor in the recent time period. The second one is you uncertainly did anything wrong in SEO part. Plan your strategies according to your competitor. That will help to bring your ranking position back. Thanks & Regards Mathavan K
