Sometimes search engines, especially Google puts your website temporary out of the index entirely, or you will see a big drop in rankings... they put you on the last pages.
This may happen while you are on page 4,5,6,7, not while you are number 1. I mean while you are optimizing your website (you are not yet number 1)!
This thing they do occurs to websites when search engines are still evaluating them. They sort of put it "on hold" to see and then analyze it carefully to determine if the site merits a boost in rankings.
So they have many things to analyze websites. That's one of them.
The time you spend out of index, or temporary on the last pages depends on several factors. Like the number of competitors you have.
This may also be referred to the so called sandboxed theory.
A quick example of this:
Say for example you have a library full of books. You are researching for the 10 best books about ufology (a topic I like by the way).
You have hundreds or thousands maybe of books in your library.
You start sorting them, checking and analyzing
the contents, the chapters to start your research for those top 10 books.
What you may do (or what can happen) is that you find some books which you think are good but just not sure. So you set them aside, you place them "on hold" so you check them later.
So there are two ways you follow in your research:
1:Some books you throw away, they are not good at all.
2:Others you set aside because you are not sure if they are good or not yet.
Now search engines sometimes treat your website like way number 2. They set it aside until they are sure it is worth the top rankings. If they use way number 1 on your website - means they throw it away, not useful at all, then you need to improve your website.
Hopefully this example shows you (and you understand) that even though when you are optimizing your website it may temporary "vanish" from the index, it does not mean banned, or penalized all the time!
Keep doing seo techniques that work, keep motivated, and do not make SEO a god or godess of your life.
Do other things you love as well, after all seo is just one part of your business - a source of generating traffic! It's probably not your entire business!
