Google Dancing Question

Hey Warriors,

So from what I read people say the dance with google can take up to three months to settle.
So is it basically useless to check your SERPs for the first three months of the site?

My Site Example:
bounced between #80 and #12 for about a month
got to #4 for about 5 days and then dropped to #8

When my site settled at #4 for 5 days I started getting decent organic traffic and thought my google dance was over.

Now that it dropped down from #4 to #8 I'm wondering if this even means anything since I still could be "dancing"

Also, after the "three months" have passed does your site stay stable? Or does it still dance if you build more backlinks?

Thanks Guys!

  • Although the algorithms are continuously changing and search engines we have a consistent experience with Google proving that the first month of a brand-new domain which has not been registered the prior year will fluctuate rankings for the first month.

    After the first month things should start stabilizing showing you average position. You can start assessing your SeO efforts based on this average position to determine whether or not you should shift to a different strategy.

    After we register a new name we quickly post a link on twitter to get it indexed ASAP after that we began distributing articles to document sharing sites such as Docstoc and scribd. We try to distribute high-quality unique material specific to addressing concerns in the natch for about the first 2 to 3 months after that we began using PLR material and spun articles to continue our link building strategy.

    So in summary for the first month things are very unmeasurable for a new domain. The next two months following you will be able to obtain a average position where you can determine whether or not to change your SeO strategies.

    • This is not accurate the Google dance refers to the fluctuation in rankings and not necessarily to a algorithm change. As you can see the Google dance still exists for new sites.

      But let's not get all caught up in the terminology you knew what the poster was referring to brat

    • Moving from number 4 to 8 doesn't necessarily have to be a Google Dance. In fact, it's possible that your competitors were working on better rankings and just outranked you.

      I had sites losing their rankings and being pushed from the first page to nowhere to be seen (maybe page 10 or something), but I just kept going and didn't bother about it too much and after a month I got back with a vengeance.

      So yeah, if you were pushed down the SERPs ladder, just keep doing what you have been doing and you should be back sooner or later, maybe with better rankings than ever.

  • Well, we have the same case. Only Google knows.
