Google Yo Yo Effect in Picture

Check this out and help me if you can!

I wanted to share with you an image of my analytics account for one of my sites. What's interesting about it is that analytics clearly shows the so called Yo Yo effect my site is suffering. For those who do not know, the Yo Yo effect is when your search rankings fluctuate inexplicably for many weeks, even when you domain is not new.

If you can help me out with a solution for this, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!

Thanks,
Ricky

This shows my traffic fluctuations for the last 2 months. See how my traffic drops to zero every 3-4 days, and then increases when my site gets ranked high again.

    I only guess that the problem relates to your backlinks. I think you are making backlinks for your website from both quality and not quality websites and it caused it. Its just a guess.

      Would it help if I start getting more high quality backlinks? Or, is the damage permanent?

      Thanks

      Use the analytics data to your advantage.
      Obviously the traffic comes from Google, that's why this thread is called the Google Yo Yo effect.

        He meant look at the specific keywords the traffic is coming from and work on getting those pages to rank for the long term.

        I have only ever seen a comparable effect on new sites with just a few keywords ranking. For my more established sites with 15 to 20+ terms ranking #1-3, I have never seen anything like that.

        1 keyword might drop down for a little while, but the other 19 terms keep up the majority of the traffic.
