I have a site that I built approximately 2 months ago and have been backlinkng to for around 3 weeks I check googles cached pages of the site on a daily basis by entering the site name in quotes. Some days it will show what I feel is the correct amount say 170, then I will check the next day and it will only show say 20 results? Then the next day back up to 190 results all the results shown are always links that I have created. The problem is when I notice the cached pages number down my site slips way down in serp's and then regains position again? Has anyway ever had this problem, any advice, will this eventually even out. All the links I create are high pr high quality links?

    Just a thought, sounds like a typical dance to me, but i wouldn't build high PR links ONLY. not sure if you are talking about high pr actual page rank links or not actual high Pr links but domain PR. In either event i think it's best to mix things up. I think Google finds it a bit unnatural to have ONLY high PR links as backlinks.

    hope that helps.

    I agree with Matt, you defo need a mixture of high and low PR, the more natural it looks, the better it will be for the spiders.


    Hope this helps

    sound advice above. however also make sure you're querying the same DC - they are NOT synchronized in realtime.

    yep, the up and down in serps is standard google dance and the instant flip of your indexed pages count is caused by asynchron google data servers...
    cheers

    You really don't have to worry about this. It very normal.
    Just keep adding quality content on a consistent basis
    and you will be fine.

    Seeing variable number of links each time you query Google is due to the fact that Google doesn't volunteer COMPLETE backlink info. A matter of policy. You can get more reliable information from Yahoo Site Explorer (but now that they joined with Bing, you need to sign up there first).

    You can use other link reporting services (e.g. majesticseo.com which is one of the best ones), but you'll never be "totally" sure exactly how many backlinks have been indexed by Google. But that's not a problem.

    As for "Google Dance" - what you hear about it from most SEO folk is that it's a random - almost glitchy - behavior on Google's part. It isn't. Instead, it's Google's application and testing of its Trust Rank algorithm. It can be easily tested and proven, but I won't bore you.

    Focus on QUALITY of backlinks and content and your "Google Dance" will gradually disappear.

    Hope this helps paul
