|  How severe is a Google Dance?
I was looking at my rankings using Browsershots.org and confirming in various tools. Last night I was ranked #1 for my keyword. Today, I am ranked #17. Is the Google dance this extreme? The last two weeks I was bouncing around between #9 and #13. |

I'm experiencing something similar. I was ranking #12 for a keyword, then overnight I shot down to #37. I should add that I'm building a lot of links to the page because it's a new site. Many warriors say that this is normal and that rankings will return higher than before. Let's hope so. |

The Google dance can be this extreme and very much more so as well. I have seen sites go from top of first page to some where in the 100's and then back again in a few days to a month!!

The Google Dance is a funny 'ole thing. I've experienced massive bounces from #338 to #16 to #48 to #12 LOL It's just part of the process. The only way to level it out is time, consistent link building and patience. ~Russ |

#1 to #17? That's not too bad, actually. (I've seen much worse.) I wouldn't worry too much just yet. You'll probably bounce back pretty quickly. The Google dance is annoying though. |

I've never severely been hit by the google dance before but judging from the comments above, google can significantly change the ranking of pages when they make their updates.
