      Hello,

      I would like some advice on Google ranking, my site sportingdesires had a few keywords rank and now their not ranked for those keywords.

      Am still in the process of on-page and am not too bothered about them ranking high, more of a curiosity I suppose. am not expecting them to reach any where near top due to tough competition. Am just starting from top of website down to individual products  ( this will take about 10 years lol ) sorting out seo issues. then will concentrate on link building & content engagement

      maybe i over optimised the page take a look at AC Milan club shop for example

      Kindest Regards,

      ste

        Hi stephen,

        The fluctuation in the SERPs is something normal at this point.You should know, that when you are appling SEO techniques to your site google takes some time to recognize that the site is increasing inn authority.
        Mean while, the serps fluctuate a lot.

        Let me refer you to other Q&A that have been aswered and have great answers:
        Is this a google dance? - MOZ Q&A
        Google Rankings Are Dancing What To Do?  - Moz Q&A

        Also, I advice you to check wether your site is penalized with any algorithm, check more ifo here:

        Hope it's helpful.

            SEO is definitely a long-term investment. In many cases, it takes lots of hard work (especially if personnel and resources are limited) and time.
