Why is my ranking decreasing?

[shamrock]

Hi,

Can you tell me why is my ranking decreasing, if i havn't made any change to the page (paid ink listing) since i've submitted him?

For example, i see that i ranked at number 22 on the avg position on july 31 for a certain keyphrase,
and now I rank at number 48... although i didn't modify the page since the submission...

thanks

Ranks will always go up and down in any given month. Heck, in any given week even. This is normal. Do the best you can to optimize your site, and don't worry about the variations too much. Next month, it will probably gain a bunch of places again.

Yep, this is pretty normal shamrock. Remember that hundreds of sites get submitted every day and depending on the keywords those sites are targetting and where they end up ranking, they will impact YOUR ranking. That's what makes SEO so much fun - it's like a game of snakes and ladders! :cool:
