4 of my 9 keywords are currently google dancing. Does this mean a page rank update is taking place? When will the dance stop? Been dancing for 12 days now...

Just carry on do not waste your time thinking about the google dance, build some backlinks to those pages and let everything settle down after a few days.

Hi boafinancial,

For many years now, the real PageRank has been updated in near real time. It is in fact updated many times each day. There are data refreshes that will occur about once a month you will sometimes see fluctuations in ranking from data refreshes. That is what is generally referred to as the Google Dance these days.

What you are seeing may be due to recent changes in the QDF algorithm. If there is new content being published for your keywords on a frequent basis then you can expect to see rankings fluctuate just as frequently.
