    What's the age of the domain? It could be. What you are describing sounds like a typically Google Dance.

    With a 1 month old domain, I would say yes, it's the google dance. Don't worry about it, just keep working on the site and your ranking will eventually stabalize.

          It's up, it's down, it moves all around.

    When you say it is gone, just how far down is it?

    If it dropped to like 500, that's obviously not good.

    If its hovering around 100, then there is a decent chance it will come back up.

      If it has dropped out of the top 100, don't lose hope. That has happened to me plenty of times. Just keep building links at the same pace and it should come back. That was my experience with one of my Amazon sites.

      Its really important, especially with new sites, that you don't build links too fast. That sets off all sorts of flags at G. Slow and steady is the key. If you want to build them faster, you need to set up some Web 2.0 buffer sites circling and pointing to your site and you can also link some of them to each other (called a "broken" link wheel), then, with that in place, you can blast the hell out of the buffer sites because hitting a Squidoo lense with 10,000 links doesn't set off any red flags.

        yeah it dropped out altogether i believe...I'm a little worried because I did build a link on a blog that exploded into 100 links because of a recent comment widgets but I still dont think 100 is too much... I like this broken link wheel idea to basically have the lens point to the site and then a ton of links to the lens... I still dont see how it would work but I will certainly try it

          The concept behind a link wheel is to pass link juice from the anchor sites to your sites and you build that link juice by building backlinks to the anchor sites.

    I believe in the Google Dance. It happens to some of my websites. But theres nothing to worry about it, just keep doing SEO everyday with a right amount of submissions. and when it reach page 1 in Google, it will stick there until it goes to number 1 depending of your SEO efforts.

    Cheers to Google Dancing!

    Google dance. My two new domains took an overnight bounce too. One jumped from page 5 to page 3 on one keyword. The other jumped from page 9 to... I'm not not sure where as my rank tracker only tracks 10 pages deep. Nice to see the bump up on the newer one, while the bump down on the other just means its due for some more content and decent back links.

        Just as a footnote, one keyword has jumped almost overnight to front page of G (#10 spot), though its not one of the keywords I was targeting - I added it to my keyword tracker only because its connected to other keywords. When I saw it in the number 10 spot and I analyzed it in Market Samaria and discovered its actually pretty useless so my front page rank on it doesn't really mean anything.

        On a brighter note, my secondary keyword is still holding its page 3 spot and my more competitive primary has finally made an appearance in my rank tracker.

        Meanwhile my other site that danced out of the rankings (its indexed, so its out there somewhere) still hasn't made a reappearance despite some added content and offsite SEO. That one is a tougher nut to crack and I really need to take another look at my keyword research on it and fine tune it accordingly.

        Its all good though. SEO is a skill you learn and improve on over time, and sometimes it just takes steady work and patience (combined with continuing to improve upon your SEO knowledge base) for it to start paying off.

        The upshot is it pays off later when you do a new site that has those SEO knowledge gains built in right from its launch. The tougher sites just teach us what works and what doesn't, so they always have that value in their own right. I'm also using article submission from my site that danced out of the rankings, both to help with offsite SEO (the do follow links from the article submission sites) as well as potential traffic from sources other than G, and exposure as well.

  • now a days its not called google dance, its been due to the content, just change website content with fresh and new content and start doing good backlinks, it will come back in higher positions.
