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://mza.seotoolninja.com/blog/why-good-unique-content-needs-to-die-whiteboard-friday
... and then you can think about creating 10x content: https://mza.seotoolninja.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

We're looking at providing SEO for a website that has the majority of its incoming links from websites created solely to provide links. Few have bad spam rankings. How worried should I be about those links?
The majority of incoming links to a prospect's website are from website pages apparently created solely to provide links to the website. Few have high spam scores. The sites linking to the main site have versions of blogs with linked text. They seem to be providing positive SEO value now, but I'm concerned they might get noticed and hurt the main site in the future.

Rankings Dropped After New Backlinks.
I have a low-traffic website (under 100 unique visitors per day) and I've encountered a strange issue started yesterday morning. I acquired three back-links, one of these back-links is contextual and the other two are site-wide. The site-wide back-links are from PA 40+ blogs. It looks like the back-links are already indexed by Google. Despite these new back-links, my rankings across multiple keywords have dropped several positions. I'm new to SEO, but I would assume new back-links would improve my rankings. None of these back-links are low quality links, they are from real established blogs with high domain and page authority values. Could anyone give me insights into why my rankings may have dropped with new back-links?

What happened to my ranking
Hi trying to rank for "liverpool wedding photographer" as my main keyword. my profile is mainly wedding blogs and photography blog comments, a few "featured weddings" from wedding blogs , directory links and I have also a few guest post blogs. Goy myself all excited in December by getting to 4th position and then followed that up by around 35 links in one week. So expecting my ranking to stabilise or even go up I watched my site slowly sink to a current position of 7th, over January, even as the new links kicked in. a weird thing happened in this period as the following sites where I had left one comment on a blog post ended up giving me links from nearly all the other posts they had written: http://www.richardbernabe.com/blog/2012/12/04/iceland-bound-again/ http://blog.leica-camera.com/2014/12/03/andrew-kaufman-documenting-the-disappearing-street-art-of-wynwood/ http://jnack.com/blog/2015/01/04/when-will-wearable-cameras-be-a-thing/ webmaster tools is indicating I have 374 links from the leica site, 174 links from the richardbernabe site and 77 from the njack one. They are all different blog posts! I have disavowed all three domains. Can anyone explain what has caused this multiplication of links from these particular sites? Also could my link spree have caused a penalty? Best wishes. David. http://jnack.com/blog/2015/01/04/when-will-wearable-cameras-be-a-thing/

What is the number of links do you require your link builder to attain each week or month? What is a reasonable goal?
Hello Mozzers... I would like to get a survey or feedback from other Mozzers who owns an SEO company or manages / hire link builders. **What is the average number of links does your link builder need to attain per week or month? what is their goal? ** I understand quality over quantity but I want to make sure there is a reasonable average to provide them goals and something to achieve on. Of course reward them more if they exceed or get .edu links. What do you institute? What do you think is fair and achievable per website? PS. There is no right or wrong answers here. I am looking for a measurable answer not subjectable. Again just gathering MEASURABLE GOALS.

Will feeding a blog through a widget onto a wix site help rankings?
I have a client I am writing blog content for, however his site was recently redesigned on wix html5. They offer no native blog. I have used a widget to embed blog from another site, however does this help seo in any way? When people share on social media, etc., it is linking the embedded page, not the clients site, right? So it would not be giving any link juice to site. It also doesn't help for organic search of content if it is embedded, is that right? I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to overcome this issue. Would creating a "faux" blog on the Wix site work (as in multiple pages that I would then categorize and link to each other to navigate like a blog myself)? Wix looks like it has page length maximums too, so I'm not sure how I would get around that. It is also clunky to share on social media without a "share" button for viewer, but perhaps I am mistaken. Is that a ridiculous solution? What have other people done to deal with this issue and get better rankings with Wix platform? Thanks in advance for any input! I'm feeling a little frustrated with what to do.

Site size affecting page rank?
I've noticed the sites that rank above me for certain phrases are much larger than I am. Here are the results of the 'site:' command for the top 6 results for a phrase I want to rank for (yes, I know that 'site' is not exact): 32,600 pages 8,760,000 pages (wikipedia) 684 pages 148 pages (domain name equal to search phrase) 1400 pages 120 pages (my site) Now, I appreciate that larger sites have more stuff to link to, and therefore have more juice flowing to them from external links. BUT, is it also true that they are generating lots of internal juice by having so many pages? I've looked at the PageRank algorithm and understand that the max page rank for a site (with no external links) is based on the number of pages of that site and how well linked they are). My question is: based on all the experts here, is number of pages in the site an important factor (assuming good on-page SEO), or does it really come down to number of external links (from relevant sites with appropriate anchor text, of course)? Can a small site with tons of external links rank above much larger sites? Has anyone beaten Wikipedia for a phrase they were targeting? How did you do it? Thanks!
