Hey folks,

A new website I made (around 2 months ago) was sitting on the #1 spot for the keyword I targetted for around 2 weeks, but today I woke up and found out the rankings have dropped big time...it's at the 60th spot right now. It doesn't seem like a manual penalty as there are no messages in GSC.

I built like ~300 links in the span of like 30 days towards this site and the KD as per kwfinder is 20.

Could it have been a "honeymoon period"? Has this ever happened to someone? I don't think it's a Google dance as it seems like quite a big drop for such a keyword difficulty.

I'm feeling a bit sad right now as I was getting good results with it so far :/

Let me know your thoughts, I would appreciate it.
 
lol you built 300 links in 2 months and expected it to stay? it ain't 2005 anymore

I'm surprised you got a site ranking #1 in 2 months SEO has been super slow lately

Too bad bud, someone probably outranked you with more quality content and links.
 
Lol, what you did is what is known as "churn and burn". You'll rank #1 for the first few months.

And then google will be like, "nope, you're playing our system, bye!" and drop you off at 200+ in rankings, IF you didn't get penalized.
 
Don't react to this. sit tight for a few days and see if it bounces back.
