After over a year I start losing keywords

agringo4u · 01-02-2012, 03:01 PM

I have a number of content websites with pay per click. I am all white hat and conservative. I put a load of excellent content articles in the 450-500 word range and personally add backlinks through forums and blogs all on a regular basis. However, almost all my sites seem to hit a wall at around 12-16 months and I lose a lot of my keyword clout. They seem to do great for 4 or 5 months before that but I have had sites drop from 300 keywords to 35-40 keywords during this period without having changed anything - I still add articles and backlinks on a steady basis. Any helpful ideas on why they would do that? Thanks for your time in advance.

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. Where I am losing keywords is in SemRush organic keywords. My sites start off with a bang and the organic keywords keep getting higher and then they reach a certain point and then start going down every month.

Don't really understand how do you actually loose keywords? Do you loose ranking on google? If that there is numerous things that could be problem. As i understood you are using PPC, if it was small websites which backlinks do you use? If you could explain better maybe i could help you. Thanks

Maybe you need to add more variety to your backlinking campaign. What you are describing seems a bit strange but I think getting a variety of services would help, since it would look more natural to the eyes of google.

Trends?
Maybe your keywords are not a long-lived keywords? Or maybe they are seasonal?

12-16 months doesn't really seem like a strict enough time range to say that what you're seeing is an observable trend with consistent cause.

You could just be seeing a natural decline as more players enter the keyword area you're targeting? Have you checked out the nature of the competitors you're losing out to after the 12-16 month period? Are their sites bigger, better, etc than yours?
