Losing Google Organic Traffic


I run a large, well-established website that has been around for years, generating millions of visitors per month across thousands of pages of documents. We have always been diligent about tracking all of our website metrics so that we understand user behavior, where our audience is coming from, and can use the data in order to improve user experience.



Recently we have been experiencing *very* erratic Google organic traffic which jumps up and down by 40% to 16%. The cycle has now repeated itself 6 times over about 6 weeks time. While there have been times in the past where our Google organic traffic has increased and decreased, it always has done it in a measured manner; we have never before seen erratic behavior from Google.


While we are constantly in the process of refining our site, the only major change over the last couple months has been to our “Meta keyword modification” . Then I checked make my meta relevancy to 70% to 80%.. but still I am facing same problame..

Exactly what I have noticed...

"A website is virtually ranked just the way it use to in their local search results but if searched for the same keyword some where else in the world, the website is no where to be seen, causing a huge drop in organic search traffic. "


I think It may be the cause of droping Organic Search Traffic..


Any ideas about what might be going on here?


Thanks!

    Local SEO affects the link popularity, which can drop the rank on the basis of that. Google only takes into account the inbound links available in their local repository. So, for the same keyword, the SERP rank can be different.

    I am planning to write a detailed blog highlighting your post.
