Jumping Up & Down At Google Page 1

Hi,

One of my site is frequently disappearing and coming back in Google. After holding 7th position in Google for a month and half it disappeared on 6th June 2011. It reappeared on 21st June and was in 3rd position. Then disappeared again on 6th July. Reappeared on 15th July as 2nd on Google 1st page, right after an EzineArticle published and I bookmarked it. Now it disappeared again on 19th July.

I am confused. Anyone can explain me the possible reason! Is it coming back! Anything I can do for that?

Thanks

    How old is your site? Young sites dance around all the time in their infancy.

    Did you lack any backlinking or the adding of fresh content to your site during times which those drops happened?

    Panda and PR updates have been and are are still possibly being rolled out, so it is probably just Google testing your site, messing around with it.

    My site has been very erratic recently, not so much dropping off google completely, but irregular to its previous behaviour never the less.

    Sounds like your dancin, Google dancin that is. I have been on page one for big keyphrases before, then drop back to page 10 and slowly move back up. Usually happens on newer sites. Just concentrate on keeping unique, related and new content on your website and building related links on authoritative sites in your niche.

    Hi

    The domain was purchased on mid January 2011, 1st post was early February. Since then 40+ unique content posted (500-1200 words) around Wonder Wheel keywords and other LSI keywords. more than 2000 anchor links (Yahoo), twice as much as the 1st position holder for the targeted keywords. Have some High PR (2-6) backlinks as well.

    However, I indeed stopped link building and content adding for a while.

    Sounds pretty normal to me. Stopping your content creation and link building is never good.

    Seem the domain is not new then it's likely because of content add more contents.

    If possible attached Youtube video and diverse your backlinks.

    Hope it help.

    Yours Sincerely,
    Randy Seet

    Hi

    According to stat press of my site, the spider activity has dramatically increased past 10 days. Today at the peak.

    What that signifies?

    Its just the Google dance...I would guess you have a new website and Google is trying to place you.

    Keep building steady links, add fresh content and be active in social media and you will be fine!

      I have a site doing exactly what you've described. It ranks in the top 10 for about a week or so then dissapears for anywhere from a few days to a week then usually ranks the same or better than before.

      My site is also exactly the same age as yours pretty much.

      Many people will tell you it's normal for a relatively new site so I'm not too worried.

      I believe its not the age of your domain.

      I have a new domain (4 months old) and is static in Top 10 SERP's compared to other 4 websites that are above a year old and seem to be dancing like hell.

      Here are few things I noted and so must you...

      1) What sort of backlinks are you involved with - Blog Commenting, Bookmarking, Directory, forum profiling ?

      2) If its Blog commenting and Forum Profiling - there is a big chance of your sites jumping around. Why? - A good friend called Panda - evaluating blog content and spam ratio.
      As far as forum profiles go - you ping them and you bring your site to death, if you do forum profiles over 1000 a week, your site is bound to dance.

      3) Directory Linking is OK - As not many directories give you instant approval in a day, the basic nature of directory is to list websites so the panda restrictions are low on that front.

      4) Bookmarking - Again - more the bookmarking faster the death in top SERP's.

      BTW: Article Marketing , Pyramids as well dont work till you give them a good linking juice from PR sites. You need to be slow but precise to get selective back links.

      Also you will find this happening with more competitive niches compared to less competitive niches.
      Now there is one thing that helped me stabilize my positions on 1st page.
      Good Backlinks from Authoritative Websites with PR.

      Well that's my thought. More comments / suggestions might shed more light on this.

        I don't think it has anything to do with the age of the website and neither its a google dance. I think there is something wrong with your website itself.

        Try checking if your site has a duplicate content issue, that means same content on two different urls of your site.

        Check whether google has both the www and non www version of your domains indexed if this is the case fix it immediately by creating a 301 redirect.

        Check your webmaster tools and see if it shows any crawl errors. If you can find a crawl error on your site than it can also be a reason.

    i also met the same problem before, and yes, it is not about domain age and google dance. i agree with Naveen Kapur, that is the point, and solved my problem.
