Hello Everyone. For a while now, about a week, I had one of my pages as the first result on Google. Out of nowhere this morning, I check and its on page 4...
Kind of hard to understand. I've been continuously building backlinks to it consistently, yet it drops from the very first spot on google for the keyword to page 4. Is this the google dance?

      Been using High PR Profile backlinks like Angela and Pauls and some of my own that I've been finding.

      Worked like a charm, got me to page 1, very first result but now all the sudden page 4 which is worrying me. I was finally starting to see some affiliate sales. I hope my page jumps back up to page 1 again.

        Those aren't very good quality backlinks , you need to get a selection of backlinks. What happens with the profile links is that you get a brand new page linking to you, google doesn't know where to rank that page and therefore it doesn't know where to rank you.

        If you get some links from existing pages (blog comments etc) that are already indexed you get less of a google dance

          I do more backlinking than just the profile backlinks however that is only a few a day to each of my internal pages. The majority of my daily backlinking comes from profile backlinks, and I have seen Google Dance before but never like this. I've seen it where my page appears to not even be indexed but, never has it gone from page 1 to page 4 all of the sudden.

            I'm experiencing the same thing ... I had three sites that were showing up on page one for several keywords each and were generating some income - not a lot, but around $20 per day for all three of them. I tried a couple of link packets to boost them, and now for two weeks they've been waaaaaay down on something like page 30, and they're generating no income whatsoever. :-( I know a lot of people swear by those link packets, and who knows, maybe they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. But right now, I'd have to say that using them seems like one of the stupidest things I've ever done.

    I agree. These profile links do good in the short term - but in the long run - different story.

    I would say you should start doing a little article submissions, a little of social bm sites, a little of web 2.0 props, a little of this, and a little of that - you get the picture.

    Stay away from the profile links.

      Well considering its only been off of page 1 for about a day, and until today it stayed on page 1 for over two weeks, I think it is probably more a google dance than anything else. And its just one keyword that dropped. The rest of the keywords are staying on Page 1 just fine. We'll see what happens in the next couple of days.
