Why so much ranking fluctuation on new site?

I launched a new site in February and have been building web 2.0 sites with quality content to link to it ever since. Also built many bookmarks, and 10 videos... Please see image to see what the site is doing in rankings. Any reason why it would be shown in top 1,000 one day and then next day not? It is bouncing everywhere...

    The reason for fluctuation of new site could be the content or trust. Due to fresh content Google ranks your site up but due to lack of trust it again ranks another authority site above your website.

    Your site is still rather "new" so this might have something do to with all of the shuffling in your rankings.

    I think the reason is your domain age as other members said and the reason is Google determining the real value of your website and sometimes it ranks your site high and some other days, your site doesn't rank high. If you continue the right way for optimizing your website, after some weeks your website gets a more fixed position in Google.

    It takes a while for a site to settle into its home.

    If you set up the site and started building links ang getting social signals to it then google will pay attention, but if you stop or slow down the momentum they will realize that and think it was just a hot site but is no longer as valid as it was.

    It will continue to fluctuate for a while untill they are comfortable with where it ranks among the other sites.

    If you are in a highly competitive niche and there are a lot of others working and ranking for the same thing it will effect where you stand as well.

    changes in big G's algo rythms can also affect it, just keep building quality back links and you will get there. Adding good high quality content can also help.
