Well, few days back I used to get rank on number 1 page and the other guy on number 2. But the next day dont know what happened I was pushed to page 6. Then I started loosing ranking for most of the kewords

After 2 days or so I gained my rank for other kewords but for the main keyword(Check my signature link) I am on page 7 or 8

I actually have tried posting comments and other ways for backlinks but donno if they are accepted as webmaster just shows 1 link..I didn more than 100 backlinks though..

backlinkwatch says I have more that 50 backlinks..and the strange thing is that warrior forum signature backlink is also not indexed and its not showing in backlinkwatch or in webmasters

What can be the issue guys..I registered 5 days earlier than my competitor and he is getting rank on number 1 position. His onpage also sucks

Is it that I got sandboxed or is it that the guy is getting luckier everytime :-|

      How old is your site?

      Through you Google Webmaster Tools submit a Site Reconsideration.

      This has happened to me a couple of times for a couple different sites of mine and the Site Reconsideration really did work wonders for my sites!

      I'll be honest your site looks like it was made for Adsense - 3 ads above the fold... And try diversifying your post titles... It looks like a very low quality site....

      CHEERS & GOOD LUCK!

        Yeah ofcourse its made for adsense otherwise

        Its low quality blog too but all i need is some traffic when I will increase the quality by posting good articles///

        And its a new blog just 15 days old i guess..I sent the reconsideration request 2 days back. Got a reply that they will reconsider it in several weeks time...

        But my main question is how is my competitors site ranked higher than me even after me adding more backlinks

    Backlinks sometimes take their time showing up. I got one site where a month later the links are finally showing up.

    If your website is newer than your competitors' there is probably no need to worry about your recent ranking fluctuations because even websites which are one year old might experience ups and downs in ranks, especially if they are not powered by a lot of quality links or that their sites lack informative contents because a combination of on/off page optimization seems to be working the best all the time in SEO world.

    Although you have been adding links to your website, but the real values of them would not get revealed until some weeks of time are passed and no wonder some older sites are really dominating their commercial fields because of older links they have earned in the course of time. Google dances, ranking fluctuations or Sandbox could be among issues to name over here, affecting your site as well.

    Calm down and take a step back. This has all happened in a few days and is normal. Make sure you have web history turned off on Google (Google it) so that your search results are actually accurate.

    If your website is new, it probably never belonged on the first page to begin with. It can take months for a site and its links to mature.

    New site and low quality content. I think you need to improve your content and keep up with your back links but not to fast. Why would you add quality content after you get traffic? why would you get a ton of traffic if you don't have great content?
