SEO is a war of attrition more than anything. Unless you're working the blue ocean strategy, it takes up to two years to get sustained top search rankings (using legitimate SEO methods and best practices).

By the looks of it, Lyricful deserved better. Hopefully someone with deeper pockets can bring it back.

Blue Ocean Strategy: Creating new demand in an uncontested market space[1]. Summon the Warrior[2] was my attempt at this.

Red Ocean Strategy is a highly competitive market space, and what Lyricful were engaged in.
