I asked a question on Jul 8th about my post moving down the rankings on google, you can view it here. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/search-engine-opti...

I actually watch the ranking for this particular post move out of the top 10 pages in google. Man, I was sad. I followed the advice of all that contributed in this awesome community.

I did the following.

1. I place my keyword in Alternative Text in my images.
2. I move my images from the left and place it either center or right of my post.
3. I place my images above the fold of my article.
4. Check the syntax on my post.
5. Increased the comments from 7 to 16.

Now for the past week, I have seen my rankings get within the 10 pages of google, and as of today, it is taking a short rest on page 3 position 6. Thank you all for the wonderful advice you gave me. This community really do Rock!

Make it a great Day!

Good to here you got it lined out, that was some good advice you got.

That's right Harry, so now it posted on my WA blog, so that if anyone is having issues with rankings they can refer this as a guide, and only as a guide. Glad you stop by.

For #3, that should be Above the fold, not below.

It is normal for pages to move up and down within search results. Depending on how well it is written, as time goes by, it will start going up again and can even make it within the top 2 or 3 pages.

Can someone explain the phrase, 'Above the fold' please?

Above the fold is the viewable area of the screen without having to scroll down. You always want to have either a captivating heading tag or an image above the fold.

You want to captivate your website reader's attention without having them scroll the screen down. Captivate them above the fold so that they will want to scroll down.

I hope that made sense.

I believe it refers to what you see when you first open a page. Anything seen below that point (when you scroll down) is considered below the fold - the fold being the bottom of what is seen on your screen. Many people will not scroll down below the fold if there isn't something pretty compelling above the fold that makes them want to delve deeper into your site content. Hope this helps!

Sorry I mean above the fold, I made the change, thanks Robert. Yes , I am truly beginning to realize that your rankings do fluctuate. Thank you for that advice.

You are absolutely right Lori, I had to change some of my posts to that effect.

You are welcome.
