What is the importance of onpage and offpage optimization recently? one of my webpages is gradually decreased from page 1 to now page 2 SERP position 16 in last 3 months . I think It will go on to 3rd page and further down.
Till 3 months back, the content was good for google to put it in the first page SERP 8 or 9. The content is 100% original and is meant to sell a product through affiliate network. There are no updates to that page. But there were no updates 3 months back as well.
Recently google shows different pages of a product from the same seller (like Amazon) in front of my page and naturally my page will go down because of that. Those pages are from a site which are having a good PR, but they dont have much content and are pages enlisting their product.
Search Engines love fresh content but very often site updation may be harmful for website. Google might have chances to consider it as spam activity and as a result your site may get penalized. Few activities did in a proper way will give the good results, e.g. improving social score, building backlinks in authority sites, content sharing through blog post.
On-page optimisation which covers what can be done on the pages of the website itself, and off-page optimisation which covers activity that takes place elsewhere (e.g. link-building).
