I checked my ranking and I too went south by half. I could not believe it as over recent weeks I have had a steady climb and though I was getting somewhere at last. Nice to know someone else has the same problem. Thanks for this post. I checked my ranking and I too went south by half.

For example, assume there are three sites: foo, bar, and qux. Week 1, foo has 3000 visitors, bar has 2000, and qux has 1000. Thus, they are ranked foo #1, bar #2, qux #3. If week 2, foo and bar each add 10% qux takes off and gets 2500 more, we have foo with 3300, bar with 2200, and qux with 3500. So even though bar has 10% more traffic, it goes from rank 2 to 3. Actually, your rank can go down even if your traffic increases if someone else’s traffic increases more. For example, assume there are three sites: foo, bar, and qux.
