Does crawling help in optimisation.?

[wahin1]

the website is as it was last week. no optimisation from my side for 10 days now. i was ranked 5 with my keyword not much competition there.

however 2 days ago i registrred at seomoz and created a campaign for my website  with my keywords that were ranked 5 in search. today i see that my rank has gone up to 2.

i have nt done any optimisation neither have ii created any backlinks. so how and why did i climb up?

i just created a campaign and let seomoz crawl my website for 2days. am i to assume seomoz crawl optimises website?

if that is the case then can i create a campaign crawl pages, climb up in searches, delete the campaign after a week, create it again crawl pages and climb up and so on ?

please advise?

I don't think the two have anything to do with each other. If there's not much - or any - competition for keywords, than ranking without trying is't unusual. And sometimes you think you don't optimize but do optimize, just not as best as you could. If you have a page, and there's content on it, and Google indexes it, it's going to associate it with keywords of some sort. I have pages that rank for things we never intentionally optimized for, either.

There is nothing to do with SEOMOZ campaign. This is may be because of recent tweaks in search results by Google.
