Many times we want to add more information after we published it. The goal is to give a better quality article to our readers and hopefully will improve their position in search engines. We add more relevant content and monitor it. A week later we found that the ranking position getting worst and we start to remorse.
We start to comfort ourselves by hoping that this is a temporary setback and wait another 2 weeks even a month. After we check a month later the ranking position still not improved and becomes worst compare to the position before we edit the article. At this stage we really regret we ever edit the article.
