      Hi all,

      We been facing this ranking fluctuation issue for over an year. Every time we made some changes for better optimisation. We improve rank but eventually drop after few days. Most of the changes we employed are On-page like page loading, fixing broken links & redirects, page titles optimisation, etc. When can see the ranking improvement for our main keywords and related keywords for a while and we drop with in a week eventually. I wonder if someone face the same issue and any thoughts on this scenario?

      Thanks

        It looks like you are doing some "Onsite" optimization, but you may need to concentrate on doing some "Offsite" seo. Try to get a few good articles written and posted on "High" value sites and have better "DA" Domain Authority scores than your site does.

        High-quality backlinks will really help your rankings as long as they have real value and are not Spammy. The search engines will reward you even though it can take some time and a lot of work. Remember even if you get a few good links from strong sites, there are many other factors to consider.

        Here is a link to a good article about "Offsite SEO".

        Best Regards.
