Site page won't stay on page 1 of Google

Hello,

I have a website where I sell banquet tables. A particular table style keyword will not stay on page 1 of Google. I got it there momentarily, and then it dropped down to like page 10.

I have other sites which rank on page 1 for the same keyword, however this particular site just won't stick. It's also the oldest site. I don't want to post the URL publicly, but wanted to see if there is any way to tell why this is happening.

This domain used to always rank on page 1 of google for this particular keyword.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks...

    How in the world do you expect any of us to know the answer to your question...

    Oh wait this it the warrior forum, can someone please direct this man to a sales funnel about how easy it is to get on the front page of google.

      My question is a general one, to see if anyone else has experienced this. No need to be hasty.

    Is it an Ecommerce store? Fluctuations seems to happen a lot with such websites (I am in the same boat).

    Yes, it's wordpress w/ woocommerce. I have other similar sites which are easy to rank under this particular keyword, however for some reason something occurred about a year ago where the site stopped ranking. It's dropped to page 10 or so, and the sites in between are low quality.

    Perhaps my question is, how can I tell if I'm being penalized by google?

    I think I may have figured out the problem. About a year ago I shutdown another website which was unrelated to this one, and did a 301 redirect from that site to my table site. I was logged into google webmaster tools, and a ton of backlinks unrelated to this site. I just turned off the redirect, so hopefully it'll recover.

    Does this sound like it could be a possibility?

      So this bouncing in the SERPs has been happening for a year?

      What's the link profile look like for the site that had a 301 redirect? Is it spammy links?

    I pointed the old site to the other site about a year ago. I noticed the bouncing in serps has been ongoing for roughly 9 months. No spammy links, just links from a completely different industry.

    The more I think about it, the more I believe this has to be the issue. The site is beautifully designed with lots of original content. There's just no other reason why I would bounce around so much. I'm curious to see how things go now that I've removed the redirect.
