It's all a test to see if you're paying attention . Don't worry about it. Just keep working on your site. It will all work out.

Yes, I jumped from 550 to 302 and then plummeted down to 667 all in the space of about three or four days. Obviously WA either has something in the works with the ranking system, or some sort of bug in the system.
My advice is to put a little post-it in the top corner of your screen where the rank shows up and just ignore it for this week, haha.

Ouch!

Hi Clyde don't panic the ranking system is encountering a few problems of late . Seems to correct its self . Gets you scratching your head , though .

Too funny Clyde... 5 days ago I was around 545, then a few days ago I dropped to around 230-240. A few minutes ago I'm back up to 547... go figure, ey?

I went to visit my daughter in a corner of Hawaii that does not have internet service. I was disconnected for a week. I went from 180 to 550 in that time. It has taken four months to get back to 120. I try to help where I can, but like @jazminnf I'm spending more time on things that make me money.

it is beyond me too.

This is why I stopped worrying about my ranking here and started focusing more on my business. I was ranked 60 at one time with nothing to show for it, but going from 200 to 534 doesn't make any sense to me. Somethings not right Clyde.

The ranking system has been crazy lately, most likely my fault Clyde.

Ther seem to have corrected the ranking system.
