Bouncing around - due to SSL?

Published on December 14, 2016

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Just been checking the rankings for KWs on a few sites. These are affiliate sites with Amazon links.

Apart from that the only thing they have in common is that I switched the sites over to https ( SSL) last month.

Since then the SERP averages have been up & down like a yoyo. Before it was pretty steady.

Example below. This is average daily position of the 63 KWs that I'm tracking for this site.

Anyone else switched over recently & seen similar bouncing? Just wondering if it's common or to be expected.

( If you aren't tracking KW positions then you can for free, using http://serplab.co.uk - although the free version doesn't show search volumes. )
