		<description>[...] Sometimes you have to &#8220;make sacrifices&#8221; to keep your website lean, relevant and mean. Every time you add to your website, the global term weights shift within that site which could either (a) steer the site off topic by diffusing the underlying structure of the sites semantic relevance or (b) improve or decrease rankings (which constantly vacillate).

		<description>Depends on the keywords, the sites authority vs the competitors, the trust rank of each and the link cycles, hard to tell which ones are passing more value from the outside. Sometimes we struggle for months to acquire a ranking, then poof it jumps to the top and stays without any further effort. You never know when this will happen or what the criteria are to cross that tipping point, but, it is fascinating nonetheless.</description>

		<description>I agree 100% with Nick@Brick Marketing - one has to build site strength and authority all the time in order to keep that coveted authority status. 

But I have also seen, in less competitive fields - the threshold that the post is about is also true as I have seen sites rank continuously for months without any new campaigns.</description>

		<description>@Nick:

Agreed, you never really should stop optimizing, just find other more accessible terms to promote stemming, while pursuing another relevant trophy phrase.

Let&#039;s face it, market share and competition are real. If you stop, then you could be the next website to fall off the page for relevance when the spiders and index beckon the call.

There are always people trying just as hard or not harder to take away any given keyword / position. The only advantage is padding yourself with more trust, citation or authority than they have.</description>

		<description>I think it is important to really  keep going with SEO even when you have achieved the rankings you want. A website needs to build power and strength to over time to maintain it&#039;s position.</description>
