If a website's keyword rankings fluctuate, dropping back a few positions from where they currently sit, that is mostly a normal phenomenon. But if a site suddenly goes from a fairly high position to beyond 100th place all at once, there is probably a problem. The editor has summarized this: broadly speaking, the issues fall into two categories. Here the editor will give a brief analysis and explanation of rankings suddenly vanishing beyond 100th place during SEO optimization, for reference only.
1) Assuming it is due to adjustments made by the search engine itself
In this case, webmasters need not worry. When the search engine's own adjustments cause errors in the snapshot database and rankings disappear, they can recover automatically. This usually happens during a search engine's adjustment period, for example at the end of a month or the beginning of a month. In this case, webmasters can simply continue their normal optimization; there is no need to panic. The search engine will automatically recover within a few days afterwards. This also happens from time to time; you can pay attention to announcements on the SEO webmaster platform, where the official search engine will post notices and then help customers recover.
2) Due to the site's own optimization
In this case, the website must have violated the algorithm, or some detail of its SEO optimization led the search engine to judge it as a cheating site or a low-quality site, so its visibility was reduced and its good rankings were revoked. At this point, we only need to find the cause of the website's problem, then make the corresponding corrections according to the official optimization guidelines; after the corrections are complete, submit an appeal on the SEO webmaster platform, and recovery generally takes about 15 days.
So when a site's rankings suddenly disappear entirely beyond 100th place, how do you analyze the problem and how do you recover? Here are some references.
1) The website's content quality is too poor, with no high-quality content updates
Many sites are not doing a very good job with content updates: either they barely update at all, or everything they update is copied pseudo-original information. So it is recommended that webmasters update more original information or high-quality pseudo-original information, use pseudo-original tools as little as possible, and do the pseudo-original work manually.
2) Problems with the site's reciprocal links
In SEO optimization, exchanging friend links is very common, but once the other party's site is penalized by the search engine, it will involve your own site, so eliminate the problematic friend links and delete them promptly.
3) The website lost a large number of external links
A website may have built a large number of external links; if a large number of them suddenly disappear, that can also cause a site's rankings to vanish suddenly. Many webmasters promote precise keywords through various coverage-style marketing systems. Most of these systems cooperate with high-authority media outlets and carry an enormous volume of information, and they generally include the official website's contact information, which naturally serves as an external link for the official site. Once the media content is taken down, a large number of external links disappear, which will also affect the website's rankings.
4) The reason of a website redesign
After a website redesign, many of the old links that had been indexed can no longer be opened, causing rankings to disappear. So it is recommended that when redesigning a site, you set up 301 redirects and 404 pages properly, and then use the website redesign section of the webmaster platform to replace the links.
5) The server is unstable or has been inaccessible for a long time
If the website's server is unstable and loads too slowly, it easily causes a very high bounce rate; if the site is inaccessible for a long time, it will directly affect the website's rankings. So we need to ensure the server is stable and the loading speed is normal, and by all means avoid the site being inaccessible for long periods.
6) Violating search engine algorithms
Search engines have rolled out many algorithms regulating SEO practices. Websites that touch these algorithms will be demoted by the search engine, resulting in rankings suddenly disappearing, indexed pages dropping sharply, and snapshot dates rolling backwards. At this point, webmasters need to check which aspects of the site touch the algorithms, make timely corrections, and submit them to the search engine for handling. Common ones include keyword stuffing, title stuffing, click fraud, link trading, hidden links, using spider pools, content scraping and so on; webmasters need to check and correct these one by one.
7) The website has been implanted with hidden links
The website was attacked by hackers and some links to illegal information were secretly implanted. At first these are not easy to detect, but the search engine has already dealt with them in advance and no longer gives rankings. We can use the site command to check the website's indexing situation and flip through a few more pages to see whether there is any content that does not belong to this site. If there is, please notify the website builder to handle it promptly.
8) The website has a large number of dead links
Sometimes a website has a large number of dead links, which can also affect rankings. Webmasters need to use some dead-link checking tools to look into this and handle it promptly.
9) The website frequently changes its keyword and title settings
This is a problem webmasters often have: because certain words did not reach the front page as expected, they keep changing the title and keywords to optimize. The editor suggests trying not to change your SEO optimization settings too often.
10) The website is over-optimized
To rank faster, webmasters over-optimize their websites: for example, laying out large numbers of keywords across many pages of the whole site with too high a density, having too many keywords in the site's content bolded, colored, or linked to the homepage, adding a large number of friend links in a short time, and so on. These are all signs of over-optimization.
The above is some experience shared by the editor, for webmaster friends to interact, exchange and learn from only. SEO optimization is a process that requires persistence; there are no shortcuts.
