Google Dance

I have heard many people saying that while Google Dance you cannot be sure of your PR. What is Google Dance and why does it is called so?

 

There are many Google servers and your site ranking can be slightly different on these different servers. This is called as Google dance..

 

I have an ebook called Advanced SEO Techniques. Tells you all about stuff like that and what to do. Let me know if you're interested.

 

Yes, I have noticed this with some my websites! They have different Google search engine ranking positions!

 

Well at home PR of my site jazib.com is 2 and at office the PR is 3.

Is this Google Dance.

 

Can be. If there is an pr update at these times, this difference can be.

 

Or you are using different tools for checking your PR. Anyway, the PR you can see is only the one Google wants to show. It is not necessaryly your actual PR.

 

There's not really such a thing as the Google dance anymore. It used to be the case that Google would update their indices on a regular basis. The web community even gave them names. See below:

Google tweaks their secret formula a number of times every week now so its not as noticeable as it used to be.

 

I am using IE 7.0.5730.11 and Google Toolbar both at my office and at my home.

 

If your tool to check PR is Search Status, don't so trust on it.
Use google toolbar for the correct one.

I have same experience like that also.

 

I am already using Google Toolbar

 

Once in a month Google updates its entire database of websites and during that period rankings might fluctuate. After the Google dance completes you can see a stablized ranking.

 

I am also using the Google tool bar both in the office and the home but the PR remains the same.
