get more quality links... flactuation on the rankings are normal sometimes especially for new sites... or maybe your competitor for that keyword is putting more effort than you are doing in optimizing that certain keyword...

There is no such thing as permanent position in SERPs. You must continue to optimize your website for that specific keyword, because there are many competitive websites that can take your place.

Come on! It is just normal for a website to "fluctuate" like that! You better panic if you are in page 1 now, then tomorrow, you are not in top 500!

In order to stop these fluctuations & keep your site ranking steady, need to refine our content & try to boost your backlinks (quality backlinks)

That's so called competition and it's really normal. Because we are in competition. All you need to do is hard work in maintaining your site by doing link building process.

Freaked me out the first time it happened! Soon learned its standard search engine stuff. Just got to keep on developing and marketing the site so that when it drops it doesnt drop as far.
