Yesterday, your website ranked on the top Google SERPs. But, when you performed the same search today, you found your site ranking on the second SERP. So, what went wrong? Was your website pawed to pieces by Panda or pecked full of holes by Penguin?<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/download-32.png?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4010\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4010\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/download-32.png?resize=614%2C315&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"increased-website-rankings\" width=\"614\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/download-32.png?w=614&amp;ssl=1 614w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/download-32.png?resize=300%2C154&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><\/h2>\n<h2>Newsflash! The Harm is Self-inflicted<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can relax a little. Your pages haven\u2019t been attacked by marauding wildlife or even their algorithmic namesakes. The stability of your website\u2019s search engine ranking is entirely within your control. If your rankings are up and down like the proverbial yo-yo, there are a number of elements within your SEO strategy and tactics that need some scrutiny.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following five issues are among the most common reasons for unstable search engine rankings. Take a look at them and then prepare a plan of action and execute it. You should see an improvement if you can fix these common errors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. You Did Map Your Keywords, Right?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keyword mapping involves hierarchical classification of keywords pertinent to your website by intent, relevance, and significance, then segmenting them further into groups and subgroups. The aim is to reach a point where each keyword you use can be associated closely with a single, specific page on your website, which should contain content that is relevant to the keyword. If you haven\u2019t performed <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/are-you-focussing-on-the-right-keywords\/\">this process<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, your page rankings are likely to be unstable, and realistically, a restructure, with pages and content mapped to keywords, will be necessary to improve the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>2. Your Website Has Crawling Issues<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13046\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2-1.jpg?resize=640%2C331&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Website Crawling Issues\" width=\"640\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2-1.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2-1.jpg?resize=300%2C155&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2-1.jpg?resize=768%2C397&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another common reason for ranking instability relates to the search engine spiders and the way they work on indexing your website. <\/span><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lunametrics.com\/blog\/2013\/08\/27\/seo-measurement-mistakes-part-3-crawling-indexation-metrics\/\">Reid Bandremer<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a project manager at consulting firm LunaMetrics, explains this really well in an article. Amongst the wealth of in-depth information in the article, Bandremer describes the three major types of crawl issues, all of which can contribute to problems with ranking stability. These issues are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crawl errors, resulting from a search engine\u2019s inability to download your URLs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pages don\u2019t get crawled, which is usually because something in your website code is preventing the spiders from crawling your content.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spiders crawl pages on your site that aren\u2019t actually meant to be crawled (such as private pages).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from that, with help from <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rankwatch.com\/feature\/site-audit-feature\/\">Site Auditor<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can find several other crawling issues pertaining to your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. Your Hosting Server is Not Serving You Well<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/3-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13047 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/3-1.jpg?resize=640%2C235&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Search engine spiders\" width=\"640\" height=\"235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/3-1.jpg?w=802&amp;ssl=1 802w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/3-1.jpg?resize=300%2C110&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/3-1.jpg?resize=768%2C282&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search engine spiders typically attempt to access your site several times each day. If they try to do so during a period when your <\/span><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blog\/how-a-bad-hosting-service-could-ruin-your-business\/\">hosting server is down<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the attempt will, of course, fail. If this happens too often, your site will be flagged as unreliable by the search engine, which affects your ranking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Host-server downtime and page loading speed (which can be affected by your hosting provider\u2019s server performance) are both taken into account in search engine rankings. Therefore, if your server performance fluctuates, so will the ranking of your website on search engine pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>4. Poor Internal Linking<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/4.gif?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13048\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/4.gif?resize=500%2C504&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"504\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Industry thought leaders, there are numerous ways in which <\/span><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.woorank.com\/2013\/12\/internal-linking\/\">poor internal linking<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can degrade the ability of search engines to index your web pages. These include linking to pages that can\u2019t be accessed without filling a form and even linking to content using JavaScript or Flash.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, if your site is suffering from unstable rankings, you should check that you have plenty of internal links on your pages that are neither broken nor linked to pages which can\u2019t be crawled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I was a consultant at <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickdesk.com\/\">ClickDesk<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I only fixed the internal linking of the website, which generated a decent increase the organic traffic. Here is a quick snapshot from GA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4012\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/download-33.png?resize=584%2C135&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"data-for-organic-traffic\" width=\"584\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/download-33.png?w=584&amp;ssl=1 584w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/download-33.png?resize=300%2C69&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>5. Changes, Changes, Changes<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While variety is the spice of life, changing things up too much on your website won&#8217;t help its SERP rankings. Of course, it&#8217;s essential to <\/span><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smartinsights.com\/content-management\/content-marketing-planning\/tools-for-content-marketing\/\">refresh and update your content regularly<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014in fact, it&#8217;s vital. But making too many changes all at once will impact the ranking stability of your website certainly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>6. Blog to Target Unachievable Keywords<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes you just can\u2019t target a specific keyword on a product or service page of your website \u2013 it just won\u2019t fit and look natural. In these instances, you can take advantage of having a blog always. Do a quick Google search for that keyword and check what other pages rank for it. Read the content on the pages and start <\/span><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluesodapromo.com\/blog\/8-things-can-learn-blogging-buzzfeed\/\">writing an epic blog post<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>,<\/strong> which you are sure will have better quality and is more informational than the other pages that are ranking for it. This is an excellent way of bringing in long-tail traffic too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How to Prevent Ranking Instability<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s all very well to know what problems you can look for and fix to improve the stability of your rankings. However, as with everything, prevention is better than cure. You can use tools like <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rankwatch.com\/tools\/web-analyzer.html\">Website Analyzer<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to conduct an in-depth analysis of your website and identify hidden ranking opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you&#8217;ve identified the SEO elements affecting your rankings, whether they are issues described in this post or otherwise, you owe it to yourself and your website to create an SEO plan to fix every issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your plan should include a schedule of actions to regularly analyze SEO performance and continuously optimize the content on your site. By scheduling your SEO tasks, you can avoid making too many changes at one time. The website analysis will show how your site&#8217;s hosting server, keywords, and links are performing; hence, enabling you to take appropriate actions to improve ranking stability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEO doesn&#8217;t have to be tricky, but it does need to be well-planned and given plenty of attention if you want to achieve stable website rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes, doing SEO of your site can be frustrating.
