Checking Rankings Again & Again Can Drop Rankings

[welcomecure]

Is it possible that if i check my google rankings again & again it can drop ranking?Like checking where do my keywords rank every hours rank drop the rankings? Because this indirectly affects the CTR. Might be because of it? No one has faced such an weird thing before.

There can be no benefit to doing this Jawahar. Set up some tracking of phrases and then tell everyone to stop checking all the time. If Google sees a lot of the same searches and clicks coming from the same IP, it might look unnatural to them.

Its like I am not addicted sort of thing to checking. There are 11-12 people doing the same whenever they check it. So it gets like every hour someone or the other checks it.

Something else to think about -- what benefit do you get from checking your keyword rankings on an hourly basis? Does that give you the information you need to help make your site make money? Or does it take away from time you can spend improving your site?

I have a wordpress plugin installed. But it does the same work. Uses the same ip to track keywords. & since, there are many members using the admin login of it. Everyone clicks the track my keywords button & it starts checking the ranking. Does it really affect tracking. Because only those keywords have lost ranking that were been added for tracking. Rest all keywords are ranking good.

Hi Jawahar,

If I were you, set yourself up with a tracking app and add your keywords. This way you get real numbers that aren't likely to be influenced by your own location / IP.

It is certainly not something I would do every few hours and I wouldn't really trust my own searches in 100% of instances.
