Life of an Online Business – My Pillow place

A while back I had posted information about tracking where our top keywords were falling in the search engines…I used Yahoo as a base of reference because it had been giving our top keywords the most significant positions.  We held the top position in Yahoo for Floor Pillow….perfect for us, because we have a great selection of quality extra large floor pillows. We have a lot of options for our visitors to choose from.  However, in the last few days, our floor pillow keyword has fallen to the second position.  It makes no sense why we fell because I am constantly updating and optimizing our site.  And falling to the second position is nothing to freak out about. But I hate to see us lose ground.

Worse than that, our Bean Bag Page has fallen off the second page of Yahoo and is now listed as the 31st listing (as of the writing of this post)  This is very discouraging, because many people don’t traverse all the way to the 3rd page of the search results.  About keyword positions falling, this is probably the worst time of year for our positions to lose ground.  Especially today, during “Cyber Monday.”  We are seeing a spike in traffic though.  And I like when more people pass through our virtual doors.
