      We have observed Google is shuffling our ranking on daily basis for our website: www.strokesexhibits.com, which is annoying. Almost on daily basis, in evening hours we are in ranking against almost every keyword for few hours (roughly 6-12 hours) but in the morning hours we are back to 50+ to 100+ positions.

      This is not happening with our domain only but facing same issue with the Google plus pages and few articles which we have on some high authority sites are behaving in same way.

      For better understanding, please have a look on following stats (Evening Screenshots were recorded yesterday after 8:00 PM, Morning screenshots were recorded after 9.30 AM - GMT +4 Time Zone).

      all following results are related with google.ae

        Hi Gilson,

        I don't have an immediate answer for you, but I do have a quick question. Are you checking all of these results from the same computer all day long, or are these from different computers, mobile devices, etc?

          After noticing such thing, I have checked via different PCs, different net connections but same thing. Time & tenure of ranking is not fixed. In general, site is getting ranking once for couple of hours with in 24 hours.

          Our site was attacked by some pharma links, after removing those, we are getting this issue.

          If you can find anything missed in our on-page seo, please also suggest.

            Hi Gilson,
            As a test, I would suggest that you monitor the entire first page of Google for your core keyword over the next week and see if your competitors are also experiencing this fluctuation, or if it is only your website. One way to do this might be to take screenshots each day in the morning and the evening and then you can line them up after a week and compare them to see if the fluctuation is specific to you or if Google is changing up the whole result set.

              Thank you Miriam, let me record them on daily basis.

              So, we will have enough data for the better analysis.
