SEPRs drop from 2nd to 4th after Panda, What steps should i take?

[rimon5693]

Hi,

My blog was on the 2nd or 3rd position on Google Search for my 2 word keyword for many countries. But after Panda Update, First i noticed 500-700 visitor drop on my site daily. Then i saw my blog is now on the 4th or on the 5th even 7th position of Google Search.

So what step should i take now, i ran the on-page optimization and i  have 5 easy fix, i can fix 2-3 out of them, One of them suggesting this:

Keyword should be in front of the title, like:

Keyword: Elephant Life

Blog URL: www.cuteelephantslife.com

My blog title is "Cute Elephants Life | Sweet stories of elephants and more"

And It should be changed into "Elephants Life | Cute Stories of elephants life and more."

So, As i am already on 1st page on Google for the keyword "Elephant Life", If i change the title from "Cute Elephants Life | Sweet stories of elephants and more" to "Elephants Life | Cute Stories of elephants life and more.",

Will it help my ranking or it will harmmy position on SERP ?

Please, suggest me what should i do to improve my blog and get better rank.

Is cuteelephantslife.com your actual URL or just an example?  It 404's for me and I don't see it at all in the SERPS.  I'm assuming that was just an example and your keywords are different.

If you dropped from position 2-3 to 4-7 then you were not likely directly hit by Panda.  Sites that have a Panda hit generally drop off the map to page 10 or more.

There are over 200 algorithm factors and knowing which ones caused you to drop would be impossible.  A drop for just a few positions on the first page could be:

-loss of a few links or even just one great quality link.  (Perhaps you had sites linking to you that were affected by Panda)

-malware on your site

-a competitor that has better SEO

or many other factors.
