My main keyword in number 2 then it goes to number 4 then back to number 2 then back to number 4. This has been happening for 3 months! Sometimes this happens multiple times during the day. It just doesnt settle. I had a 3 week stop at number 2 then back to the dance. I hate dancing!

I am not making noob mistakes and am viewing it in a brower with no cookies, history, google account etc.

Anyone got any ideas? It is really doing my head in big style. I am sick of going "yay number 2" then "aww crap number 4".

An additional note is that the 2 serp results I am dancing with are 2 pages off 1 website that have been indexed since 2008. I also just got indexed in Dmoz 3 weeks ago and it didnt stop the issue.

      Try checking in Chrome incognito mode. I suspect it has to do with your personalize settings that google uses to display the result.

      If incognito browser also show similar results then its must be with the google algo. I have seen this happening with one of my technology sites but the position was either 1st or 2nd.

    Like I said I am not making noob mistakes for rankings checking. I used incognito, tried different IP addresses and locations, browsers, mobile devices etc. Results are always consistent and accurate.

    Yes it is do do with the algo but there must be a reason behind it. A theory or a reason behind it is what I am looking for as I am out of ideas on what's causing it. I was number 4 when I made this post earlier and now I am number 2 again. Tonight or tomorrow I may be number 3 or 4. Number 2 and number 4 spot has a 150 visitor a day difference and an average of 6 pages visited so I need to make that number 2 spot solid.

  • This year with Google making all these changes all my sites are experiencing this dance. Hopefully this will settle soon. Your experiences could also be because your competitors are doing their SEO efforts.
