      Hi, I manage around 13 Clients for SEO and this last two weeks i have been having problems with google keyword ranking some of my clients went down almost 40 positions for some keywords other 15 other stayed the same and some just went down 1 or 5 positions.

      Somebody know what is happening with google? is it shuffling around positions of people?

      Any advice or how you do your SEO I'm willing to work together and share experiences and tactics on SEO to people that also share with me in order to build more strategies on this amazing market.

      Thanks.

        Hi Jonathan -

        It's nothing to worry about. it happens all the time with changes in some algorithm or some work done by other players. As long as you keep producing quality contents, things will be fine.

        Sometimes I see some of my keywords ranked on top 5 moving over to like 15 and getting back.

            That is quite strange.

            • Have you been constantly doing SERP Analysis (followed by backlink analysis) of the other players for those keywords ? It could shed some light.

            • Just to be sure - please make sure of the quality of backlinks to your site. There could be some that google thinks is a black-hat and be penalizing it.

            Since this is very subjective, it's hard to nail down on one particular reason.

              well that's true but at the same time is hard to be away from all the black hat backlinks.

              that's why i say that SEO is very unpredictable. what kind of tools you use for backlink building?

                Penguin 2.1 was released at the start of the month. And your clients were probably penalized a little bit.

                Remove the bad links using a tool like LinkDetox and hopefully you will be able to recover some positions
