SEO Takes Time Update – Part 4
I wrote on article a few days ago about how My Newbie Blog was doing for a keyword search of how to create a blog. At the time, the site was being returned by Google on page 5 in position 46. This was after weeks of slowly moving up from back in the 300’s. Two days ago, the site quit being returned by Google for that keyword. Gone! This happens from time to time and it can be very frustrating. It should come back eventually, but it is really the biggest traffic generator for this site. The upside at the moment is that I am getting a page 1 return for the keyword on Yahoo.
This brings 5 or 10 people to to the site everyday. How does that happen? It would make sense to lose some position from time to time, especially in a competitive keyword environment. It doesn’t make sense to go from 46 to no where. It’s in the algorithm I guess! Perhaps I was working the keyword to hard, although I had been balancing it with a few other keywords, like starting a blog and starting a blog from scratch. These results have not been affected. No matter what the reason, all I can do now is wait for the keyword to come back to the site on Google. I am grateful for the Yahoo returns but it is hard to know how long it will stay on page 1. I will keep checking and let you know.
