Big fluctuations at google

    I see big fluctuations in rankings in past days .

    Something like this :
    In the middle of the past month I was #10 for some term, then something hit me and was under #100 (for a week or something like that) and I'm now something around #20.

    I see this for a big number of keyphrases, not just for one.

    What do you say about that ?

    I understand moving for 3-4 places down , but this from #10 to under #100 then after a week at #20.

    I could say that this is not normal, because I see this for a big number of keywords.

    I really don't know whats happening with them at the moment.
    While tracking one of my keywords I found that 2 days ago it produced over 11 million results.Yesterday 6million and today just under 7 million.
    Totally confused.It isn't just the last 3 days either.This has been going on like this for couple of weeks.

    Google is definitely up to something.
    One of my sites that was in basically the top10 for every keyword on it is, well doing horrible right now.

    Traffic cut by 75%!

    I think I'm the only one whose traffic hasn't really been hit. We're doing similar traffic to what we would on a normal, if not a little better. That said, PR and backlinks are all over the place ahead of the imminent PR update.

    A lot of other people are experiencing the same thing, including me. A series of my top-ranking pages have been doing exactly the same thing.

    Some claim it's the Google Dance, others hypothesize it's a change in their algorithm.

    Yes, it's true there is big fluctuation at google. Our site is at top 10 ranking then the other day I check my keyword rankings it is nowhere to be seen even in top 100. I think Google is changing their algorithm right now or has Google may have some updates....

    Big fluctuations is normal. I also experience that but it will also back after 3 days or a week.

    Big fluctuations are not normal.
    I'm experiencing some long effects like I'm gone under #100 for 20 days or even longer.

    I repeat, this is not normal.
