Google 'Cha Cha' Dance?

by amenwolf Posted: 13 years ago 5 replies

My blog / site has been on first page number 7 for roughly two months now.

Here's the weird part, every time I update on a post the site would go up to number 2... And after 24 - 60 hours. It will drop back to number 7...

Is this a Google dance? Or a persistent competitor?

If it's personalized searches...

Then I believe I'll be sticking permanently at the top spot...

  From what it sounds like, you're experiencing what is known as "Query Deserves Freshness", or QDF for short. QDF is a part of Google's algorithm that gives a temporary little boost to newer content. Once the QDF wears off, your site will revert back to its original position. Here's a short video from Google on the topic: YouTube - ‪"Query deserves freshness." Fact or fiction?‬&rlm;
