  • It's not the Google Dance you should be worried about - That's just when your rankings vary from day to day until you normally end up in a certain position...

    What you want to watch out for is the Google SLAP!
  • It's when your website suddenly move from 1st page (or your current page) from google search result to some 68th or XXth page. and sometime after that your page placed where google think it's relevant (maybe 1st page again).

    • Google dances when it is happy and slaps when it is angry.

      Well, Google dances with joy when it sees that your new site has started doing well. At times it places it very high up (gleeful with joy) and at other times it calms down and pulls your site down. Lol, I'm kidding about the joy, calmness and anger but I hope you know what I mean. Your site jumps up and down. And then Google would finally settle the rank when it decides how good or bad you are.

      Google slap is different when it hates and deindexes your website or plummets your website's rank in spite of it appearing to have settled.

  • Thanks for telling me about Google Dance! Its a nice question.
  • Well, it's really just a fun phrase for when Google updates its index. This occurs regularly, once a month, and can cause a lot of movement in rankings, meaning that it's come to be feared by many in the SEO industry and anticipated by others. The update isn't just one sudden switch, though, as each index update takes several days to complete. During this update the searches seem to 'dance' between the old index and new index - that's the Google dance.
  • Did you guys ever get that product Google Slapper? What a name!

  • It's an outdated term as google changed the way they updated there serps many years ago. I'd have to check my history book, but I'm thinking it was somewhere around 2004, maybe earlier. The bottom line is the explanations you have received thus far are incorrect.

    EDIT: oops I do need to correct my statement as I skipped over an actual good response from RegalWeb.

    The link he provided was spot on so at least one person gave you a good resource for a correct definition.
  • Google Dance is when google is changing its algorithm from time to time.
  • Its a just a timely change of algorithm by google to maintain their credibility of SERP rankings.
  • Google Dance is often used to describe the index to update the Google search engine. update the Google index occurs on average once a month. I can detect significant movements in the search results and in particular Google cache of all indexed pages.
  • In google results are fluctuation called google dance.
