Page dropped after backlink

[seoman10]

This is a bit of a odd one...

I put two new pages on to my website.  And built one backlink to each page (each from separate domains).

The pages and backlinks have indexed quite quickly.

The odd thing is that one of my pages has dropped significantly in ranking but the other has boosted significantly in ranking!

The 1st page has come to page 1 of google, the other pages dropped to page 3 of google.

Prior to building the links the ranks was stable.

Any ideas?

I'd have to have more details such as your domain and the backlink in question. The first thing i'd check is the spam score below 9% ? In the mean time, if you wanted an 89 DA DoFollow that is just heavenly, MoZ is a good one. Once you're at 200+ MoZ community points I hear they remove the NoFollow Tag.

Thing with links is, they do have to be relevant, So I suppose if your profile indicates you're an entrepreneur who does web design and SEO for his business, then linked to content in your about section of your website confirming this, that would fall under the criteria of relevant and deliver a pretty godly amount of Link juice! At +430 points you definitely meet that nominal amount necessary

Hey there,

That might be the page is new it can be dancing between ranking for some time, there are also many factors that could contribute to your problem. For example the different competitiveness between both keywords.

The odd thing is before adding the link, the first keyword was position 11 the second was position 12.  The first one boosted up to the first page, the second one has dropped to the third page!
