Hi Tariq!
Unfortunately there can be a variety of reasons why you might notice your rankings decreasing. Because of this, it's hard to specifically pinpoint where you might be experiencing a problem.
Here are the things I would look at that should hopefully improve your rankings:
- What is your domain age?
- What is your domain authority? The higher this score, the better! You can work on improving this score by generating high quality backlinks to your website.
- Are you integrating the keywords into your content well? I can't stress enough how important is it to not overstuff your content!
- Are you creating optimized title tags for all of your webpages?
- Are your website's meta descriptions optimized?
- What is your website speed (on both desktop AND mobile)? You can check this here: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
- Is your website mobile friendly? This is a ranking factor. You can check this here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/
- Is your website secure? While HTTPs is not a ranking factor yet, I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a ranking factor later down the road.
These are only a few places to start with optimizing your website - but I hope this helps you improve your rankings!

Hi Tariq,
There are so many possibilities for this. However, can you give me a little info please?
- How old is the site? If it is quite new, then it is common for rankings to fluctuate a lot while Google is figuring out where you should be.
- How have you managed your SEO so far? Have you read any guides? This is always a great place to start.
- Take a look at your content. Where did this come from? Is it written for the site?
- Check your pages and page speeds. I was on a page and it was still trying to load items 15-20 seconds later. However, Google is fairly happy here it seems as Page Speed Insights shows a decent-ish score
- Have you done any keyword research for the site?
- Is there any linkbuilding been undertaken at all?
I could probably go on and on, but see how you get on with those and check your Private Messages for a little more info.

Something is strange, should be ranking fairly well - no visibility.
Hi Guys, This one is freakin' me out a little. We built my site and optimised it fairly well, especially on this page: http://snowdog.se/dogsledding/ where I am trying to rank for search term "dog sledding in lapland" now I receive a 95 rating for optimisation, I cant see anything wrong with it. We have a sitemap all seems well enough in the Google search console data but heck!!, we have submitted it to major engines but I have zero percent visibility. Can anyone see what's going on here? Free Sleddog Trip to the winner. Hahahaha. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It must be something simple or weird! Kind Regards, Sno.....

Substantial drop in organic traffic and keyword rankings
My client's organic traffic has been on the decline ever since January of 2015. We suspected it had to do with some spammy link farm pointing to his site. We disavowed those links in August 2015. Still, we are seeing huge drop offs in rankings and organic traffic. I am at a loss of what to do. Are we being penalized by Google for some reason? Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how did you remedy? Feel free to ask my any more questions if you more information. KDc8dMp fyVtrYo

Should i rank for one tail keyword or long tail keywords
Hi guys, for example i run a coupon site and would like to rank for the brand keyword ASOS, should i just rank for the long tail keywords for example "ASOS discount code" instead of just "ASOS"? even the traffic for ASOS itself is MUCH higher than ASOS discount code? And the relevancy of ranking at "ASOS" is fine too because is somehow relevant? would ranking long tail helps with one tail keyword too? And assuming that i am already on the second page for the keyword "ASOS" and knowing is not hard to be page one. should i just rank the one keyword?

Link Removal and Disavow - Is Page Rank a sign directory is okay with Google
Hi, Currently cleaning up a clients link profile in preparation for disavow file and I have reached the stage where I am undecided on some directories as I don't want to remove all links. Is Page Rank an indication that Google is okay with a particular directory? For example the following domain is questionable, but has a PR of 3. Do I need to consider scrapping all such links in anticipation of future updates? http://www.easyfinddirectory.com/shopping-and-services/clothing http://www.toplocallistings.co.uk/Apparel/West_Midlands/Shropshire/ Thanks in advance Andy

NEED HELP, Figuring Out Ranking Drop!
Hello, I need help from somebody, anybody, in trying to figure out why my site dropped so much for the keyword “wildblue” and “wild blue”. On the week of Feb. 13, 2012, my website jumped from middle of the first page to the fourth page, and then a week or two later jumped completely out of the index (or at least off the top 5 pages). We do not engage in any deceptive practices. Our entire website is centered around this keyword, and we are very relevant, and have informative and continually updated content for visitors. I thought at first we got hit by Panda, but our overall organic traffic has not decreased, it has actually been steadily increasing compared to same time last year. I have tried over the past several months to get us back up, or at least figure out what happened, with no luck. If anyone could advise me on what might have happened, how to correct it, or even has any ideas of how I could figure out what happened I would greatly appreciate it. Website is: http://www.mybluedish.com
