Today my website's main keyword dropped to 16 from 6,
possible cause:1. yesterday I changed 5 posts titles and urls,
2. About one week ago, I bought about 30 blog comments, but not for this KWS.
I guess the main cause is point 1, right?
So, what should I next?

My anchor phrases density is healthy, main Kws is only 5%, but one anchor term get 60% in ahrefs
 
Some dancing is natural if you change up your content. Give it a few days to a week.

You changed the title and url and your ranking dropped right? Then I think its obvious what you need to do, revert back to old titles and URL. Some titles might be keyword optimized and the moment you changed the title as well as the URL then it disappeared from Google.
 
If you don't mind an obvious post, backup your website and keep your backups. If your rank drops suddenly, restore your backups and you are likely to get your rank back. Making changes and then hoping you can figure something out is probably not the best strategy if you are closely engaged and monitoring your site. Make small changes, watch the results, keep climbing up. I hope this tip helps you in the future.
 
If the drop persists, first try changing the titles back to what they were. If that doesn't help, it's obviously the blog comments.

I, by the way, have money on the blog comments. It's almost certainly caused by those...
 
Yes it's because you changed title and url. Give it a little while and it should come back. I do this also on some of my blogs.
 
not so much related but guys, stop buying stupid blog comments. blog comments sucks because 50% of them gets deleted + bad links on page (other comments) + like 50 outgoing links + lots more reasons..

*all this goes for white money sites. spam/juice/fucking with metrics is diff.

edit: but to answer op's question it's probably the titles. give it a week, then change back. in short, do what tony said. and I don't think its the comments tbh
 
It is URLs man, try to do 301 ing your previous URL to the newer one
 
Thank you guys, seems it's just a dance, I didn't change the titles back and my rank went back on the same day, Google doesn't like that I changed the post title and url, but that's Ok.
