I was very happy that within a year my site ranked 5th through the top queries search but when I checked it on Google searches I got disappointed. Please tell me the reason behind this drop?

    There are several things that might differ in the raking of your pages:
    • Different searchers can see different results, based on things. The Top Search Queries data is an average of these searches, so you may not see the same ranking when searching for that keyword right now.
    • By default, Top Search Queries data includes searches done on multiple Google properties and from many countries. Your site may rank highly in Image Search but not in Web Search, or may rank highly in Argentina but not in the US. All of this gets averaged together on the main Top Search Queries page
