o My Biggest SEO Mistake And How You Can Avoid It
…….
Over the years I have pretty much figured out enough about
Google search in order to get my major keywords listed on
the first page in their results. Sometimes in the top spot
but mostly in the top 5 listings.
Now we are not talking about very competitive keywords that
get 1000’s of searches each day. Usually keyword phrases that
get from 10 to 100 daily searches – believe me, all this quality
traffic adds up very quickly.
For the most part, Google has been very stable, that is: my
keywords have remained on the first page for years. Of course,
I am constantly creating new links with article marketing,
unique content on my sites, ebooks, videos, software downloads…
all providing link bait so that webmasters naturally link
to my content because they believe their visitors will benefit
by visiting my sites.
However, recently all is not well in Google Land, for some
puzzling reason or reasons – two of my most popular keywords
have been bouncing like they’re attached to a bungee cord.
Popping in and out of Google’s first page results. One week
they’re on the first page, next week they’re down to around
#50.
At first, this didn’t worry me… Google was probably doing
another one of their endless updates to their Algorithm (whole
set of rules and math stuff they use to rank pages/keywords)
and things usually settle back to normal in a few days or so.
Not this time, those competitive keywords have been erratic
for months – and this after being very stable for over 3 or 4
years. This has totally unsettled me to say the least.
What do you do when Google doesn’t do what you want them to do!
I have been trying to figure out what’s going on with these
bouncing keywords? I have some possible reasons why these keywords
are bouncing but with Google it is extremely hard to pin-point
what exactly is happening… guess if we knew all of Google’s
secrets we would all be sitting pretty high in the rankings.
Anyway, I have placed my whole investigation and findings in
an article that may or may not be of help to you. Again, until
I firmly pin-point my mistake and discover exactly what’s happening,
this keyword ranking issue in Google is still open.
I even went so far as to contact Matt Cutts in his blog about
it but of course I knew I wouldn’t get an answer. And this was
rather foolish of me, but I thought Google’s recent openness with
webmasters would give me some information of what’s going on
in my case. It also shows my sense of frustration with those
bouncing keywords and I will try anything to solve the problem.
Anyway, here’s the keyword situation in more detail and what
I (believe) to be causing this erratic bouncing of my keywords
in Google.

One day your keyword is at #1 in Google, next day it
drops to the #50 spot. Ouch!
You’re scrambling to find out the reason for this
disastrous fall from Google’s graces. After you have
