It looks as if your (estimated SEO) traffic has actually been declining since January 2017:
https://d.pr/i/QcDriP.png (SEMRush screenshot)
https://d.pr/i/SpwvlF.png (Ahrefs screenshot)
... so this isn't a sudden thing, it looks like your site has been in decline for over 2 years (around 29 months, or 894 days). This usually means that you have a lot of things that are going wrong (not just one thing) and that your investment in good SEO and 10x content has been poor for the last couple of years (which you are probably now feeling pains over)
In late August 2018 you had a gigantic spike in referring pages:
https://d.pr/i/4Fgjjv.png (Ahrefs screenshot)
... I reckon that would have looked SUPER obvious to Google and maybe Penguin kicked off, making your situation even worse. Majestic SEO shows exactly the same thing:

https://d.pr/i/PDrPg8.png (second screenshot from Majestic)
Moz's "Link Explorer" tool might show similar, but can't navigate back far enough in time (d'oh! Still it's running new tech so I guess that creates a time barrier of data-linking from OSE to MLE)
This is how your site looked in October 2016 (just before the serious drops began in January 2017):
https://web.archive.org/web/20161027015942/http://www.rakhibazaar.com/
This is how your site looks now:
... it looks basically the same! Even the page title hasn't changed, except from changing "Rakhi 2016" to "Rakhi 2019". The site gives off all the signals of a website which someone once made, never really invested in again or pushed further - and thus which is destined to die in the future
Mobile UX has improved a little bit, but that's basically it. Nothing revolutionary has happened, the competition has caught up with you and your site is becoming old and obsolete with no 'modern' USPs, no modern value-proposition or value-add for end users. 2016 SEO is not fit for 2019 (not even close!)
In this video, Rand talks about creating web-content (which is ANYTHING a user digests digitally, which exists on a web-page - NOT limited to 'just text'): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLrKFRYGM5M
^ you should really listen to the ways in which SEO has changed over time
What your site lacks is a unique and credible "value proposition' (which is a proven, qualified business-level integration - NOT a simple quick tag you can optimise). Miley from Google talks about that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AmRg3p79pM (you only need to watch her talk about "Issue #1", after that the rest of the video is not relevant)
In the future you need to think about how 'good unique content' is not good enough in 2019: https://moz.com/blog/why-good-unique-content-needs-to-die-whiteboard-friday
... and then you can think about creating 10x content: https://moz.com/blog/how-to-create-10x-content-whiteboard-friday - or experiment with something like the "Skyscraper Content Technique": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9h-9BIC1VU
Think about the story of your brand and what you're bringing to your audience. Think about the unique value-add which your site should 'add' to the internet (which doesn't exist now). Think about the value proposition sof your business and website and how you can unify those in a digital format

Page not Ranking I feel helpless!
Hi there 🙂 I have been working at SEO for quite some time and I am such a noob. I have even done an online course. I am at my wits end. My website is https://www.urbani.com.au. I changed to https about 1 month ago. I want to rank for "outdoor furniture perth". Recently my homepage has stopped ranking for this keyword, and a useless blog page started ranking instead (www.urbani.com.au/tag/outdoor-furniture-perth/), on page 5 of google. I got rid of that page and redirected it to my homepage. Do you know what the problem is? Why won't google rank my homepage for "outdoor furniture perth"? It is ranking for "outdoor wicker furniture perth", but for "outdoor furniture perth" it has disappeared from the face of this earth. Thank you so much, if I can get help for this it would save my business! Whitney

On my latest report we have dropped one point on Domain authority. I also note that our 3 competitor rankings have dropped as well. Has something changed to make this occur.

Multiple guest posts from one site have any effect on rankings?
I have started guest blogging and have sites asking me for more content. I understand that regular guest blogging is great for building authority as an author and has the potential to get more links through word of mouth and other sites linking to me. The more posts I do the more exposure I get. But if I have say 3 or 4 posts on an external site with each linking to my site (to a different url and with different anchor text) does that have any effect on rankings as all links come from the same domain? As I understand it links from different root domains are what matters. Presumably a site with links from 5 different sites with 10 links on each external domain totalling 50 links wouldn't rank as well as a site with links from 50 different domains (1 per domain)?

What can I do to increase this page's rank
I have this page that is doing alright for the phrase "skyward sword walkthrough" I used to be ranked number 2 but it has dropped http://legendzelda.net/skyward-sword-walkthrough/ Sites like IGN are huge so I do not blame them for overpassing my rank but zelda informer I feel like I should be outranking at least. I have a fairly good on page ranking grade using the seomoz tool. And the OSE shows I have 11 domains linking - most with some kind of variation to that keyword. And I have actually built out more since then. Most the links are on highly relevant pages. I contacted a lot of gaming sites before this game was released and asked for a link back in exchange for a variety of things (shoutouts mostly - no paid links) The page performed extremely well when Skyward Sword came out and I got hundreds of thousands of hits but as my rank is beginning to drop its a lot less (also can be attributed to hype dying down). But any suggestions or glaring issues would be great. Link building is something I am always doing as well - mostly through guest blogging.

Is there any reason why a link within an <area> tag would not be counted as correct backlink?
Is there any reason why a link within an <area> tag would not be counted as correct backlink? In this example there is no <a> tag, so will this still be considered a link?</a>
