        How old is the site? Is this something that you were ranking higher for initially and have no dropped? If so, is there work that you have completed recently?

          MY page is older than 6 years.

          But we change our content. New design and new codes.

          We write with angular.js and you know google doesnt see this content so we use this tactic : http://www.yearofmoo.com/2012/11/angularjs-and-seo.html (google refer this tactic : https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/getting-started). Maybe this prerender pages effects our ranking maybe over seo but we cant change our position at 6th page.

          and my domain is : iddaasonuclari.com

            This exact same thing has happened to a few of our clients a month or two ago. We were able to successfully return them to higher rankings through a few different efforts:

            1. We noticed that their site loaded much more slowly than many of the higher ranking sites. I have noticed the same with yours. Check it out here: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/eCwMbE/http://iddaasonuclari.com/

            It looks like your site heavily relies on an api or two (sorry if I'm wrong), but there are many things you can do to speed your site up. A great MOZ resource is here: http://moz.com/blog/15-tips-to-speed-up-your-website

            2. In the case of two of our clients they had some bad looking link profiles. I know this is old hat by now, but is it a possibly you were hit by Penguin? If you're not sure, try this tool: http://www.penguinanalysis.com/

            The linking for one of our clients also extended to their own site. They had a lot of exact match internal links which when removed with everything else seemed to help some.

            3. There doesn't seem to be a lot (or any?) static content on the site. You may want to look into developing content.

            Hope this helps. Good luck!

              Sorry, do you mean that your page 1 rankings fell to page 6. There used to be a "-50 penalty", which was pretty severe (doesn't get much worse beyond all-out banning). There are many other possible explanations, though, including technical ones.

              If every keyword (or a lot of them) dropped from page 1 to page 6, it's possible that you're facing a link-based penalty. That would be a strange coincidence. If it's a technical problem, you'd more likely see certain phrases or keywords drop out entirely. Again, I'm speaking generally.

                Thanks for your help. My page is : iddaasonuclari.com and my target keyword is : iddaa sonuçları

                Keyword some character is Turkish but this is my domain main keyword. Same with domain but my page at 6th page position.

                We write with angular.js and you know google doesnt see this content so we use this tactic : http://www.yearofmoo.com/2012/11/angularjs-and-seo.html (google refer this tactic : https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/getting-started). Maybe this prerender pages effects our ranking???

                And i want to to try linkdetox for check unnatural links. Are you advice any different service?

                  Thanks for your answer Derek. Firsli my page google page speed score is 93%. i think its not bad.

                  And i paid for penguinanalysis.com and my score is %145

                  And my home page doesnt rank my main keyword but subpage going to 4th page now. Still i try to work my home page ranking. I m sure if google rank my homepage ıts going to first or 2nd page. Because my sub pages are 4th page. So i have  problem about my home page.

                  Thanks for your help

                    This looks, at first glance, more like a penalty than a technical issue. Google is indexing 20K+ pages on the site, including your home-page, and your home-page is ranking for exact-match title phrases (and even partial title phrases). When you hit the "money" term, though, that's when you've been knocked down the list.

                    You do seem to be pushing exact-match anchor text very hard, and on some links that are probably questionable quality. For example, there are header/footer links to "İddaa" on this site:

                    http://www.wpelement.com/

                    These clearly have no relevance, and probably even look like paid links to Google. They may be causing penalties in general, or they may be causing term-specific penalties (related to the anchor text). Given that the site seems to be in the gambling industry, Google is going to be even more suspicious.

                        If that's your site, I'd at least nofollow it, and probably remove it. Not sure you should disavow your own site, though.

                        LinkDetox and similar tools can help you spot these links, but I'd really recommend going through them by hand. You're probably going to have to kill off or at least disavow some of the aggressive exact-match anchor text while you're building more natural links.

                          ajax is great for loading content on demand without reloading the page, but for content you want to rank I would not be using it.
                          For dynamic content you want to rank you should load on initial request to server.

                          Using solutions like you are just get very messy, and are more work then doing as I suggest
