Identify The 4 Reasons Why Your Ranking Has Dropped in Google
The first reason could be that your site has been banned or blocked for further viewing due to reasons like cloaking, spamming and link building. Find out where the problem lies, make amendments and ask to be reconsidered. The second reason is that the installation of new robots.txt file or the spam bot blocker or changing the htaccess file could have interfered with the functioning of the spiders of Google.
Some spam blockers are capable of blocking spiders, So check the settings and try avoiding bot blockers. The third reason is that Google may have altered its ranking algorithm which it does occasionally. The fourth reason is that your competitors may have used better optimized content to get a better ranking. For the last two reasons you can use IBP’s top ten optimizer.
