Short answer: weekly rank swings are normal, and trying to “lock” a single keyword position usually wastes effort. Focus on pages and user intent, measure what matters (impressions, clicks, CTR, traffic), and fix problems that cause real drops rather than chasing positions. See Google’s note on core updates and spam changes for why volatility happens. What web creators should know about our March 2024 core update and new spam policies. (developers.google.com)

Start by diagnosing before you change things. Use the Search Console Performance report to find pages with high impressions but low CTR, compare date ranges, and segment by query or device to spot where intent shifted. If traffic fell suddenly, follow Google’s “debug drops” checklist and check the Manual Actions report first. . ()

For stability, treat keywords as signals, not goals. Build topical hubs (pillar + cluster pages) and sensible internal links so related pages lift each other rather than competing. Use structured data where appropriate to improve SERP presence, and follow people-first content guidance so pages answer real user needs. HubSpot’s topic-cluster model explains the approach; Google’s guidance covers helpful, people‑first content and structured data. Topic Clusters: The Next Evolution of SEO. (blog.hubspot.com)

If you suspect link-related penalties (as hinted), do a backlink audit and only use Google’s disavow tool when you have evidence or a manual action. Cleaning low-quality links and improving first‑hand content usually pays off over time. For step‑by‑step checks (Search Console, manual actions, disavow), see Google’s docs. A new tool to disavow links. (developers.google.com)

Practical checklist to apply now: 1) snapshot Performance report (last 16 months), 2) list pages with high impressions/low CTR and A/B test titles/snippets, 3) group content into topics and link them, 4) run a backlink quality audit only if manual action or clear spam, 5) monitor results, not just positions. This approach stabilizes traffic more reliably than chasing a single keyword.

You can't. But it's the content that matters more, not that specific keywords.

Your best practices are to make sure you have rich title, description tags as well as targeted optimized content in your body as well as your image tags. You might also want to look at MOZ's indication of a "perfectly optimized page": http://moz.com/learn/seo/on-page-factors (Scroll down for the image)

Hi in my opinion Keyword stable is not a solution but our target is promote website in Google so use a high page rank website and use a forum, blog comment, profile so all that factors is best for promotion..

Here's a couple of other pointers for ya:

  1. Make sure your title tage is no more than 70 characters and in my opinion, it's the one of the BEST way to target your main keywords.

  2. Make sure your description tag is around 150-160 characters. This is the second best way to target your main keywords.

Why are the Title and Description tags so important? Because this essentially is what will show up in most major search engines, especially Google.

  1. Content of the website is one of the most important point for changing your ranking in search engine results page. Write your content related to your site which satisfies customer query. Make customer to spend more time on your site so that he wont come out from the website.
  2. Ranking also depends on how much time a user is spending on your website. Maintain your site speed is also one of the ranking factor.
  3. Optimize to mobile friendly.
