Losing Keywords

cattletrader · 10-17-2003, 08:17 AM

Hello,

Several days ago I had results on all the keywords I was tracking. They've been slowly vanishing and now I have no results on keywords I used to be in the top 10 results for.

What's going on?

Kinda hard to say. But I do think you need to do some serious link acquisition.

How long have you had top 10 rankings for the keywords?

Since August on

Cattle Trading System
Cattle Futures
Cattle Future

Now no results on the last two.

If it's only been since August, and assuming that the pages were new at that time, the dropping rankings is probably due to Google placing new stuff more highly than it eventually merits after one or two updates, which is normal.

They were gone for a week...and now they're back.

Weird.

Excellent!

That's pretty normal... if you see them drop down in the SERPs instead of disappearing, that's usually worse.

Disappearing usually means they were missed in the current index for whatever reason.

Nice forum setup you have here BTW. And seems to be enough traffic here to keep me happy.

Glad to have you.

This forum is actually quite new - we archived all the old posts and membership here:

Definately some good threads worth checking out.

Hopefully it's just indexing...becuase they're gone again today.

digitalpoint · 10-22-2003, 07:06 PM

I'm sure they will be back...
