Since Monday, google continues to put me on #4 for a keyword sometime during the day then after several hours i start to decrease untill i am on #10 then i'm on #4 again and this keeps going on and on...not that i mind being #4 even for a few hours, but can someone explain to me what is going on, please? before there were updates once/week for this kw and I haven't heard of google dance happening every hour yet...
You are probably hitting different datacenters. Ping Google.com and get the IP then use that address to monitor your rankings instead and see if it happens.
Something similar happened with me !! It shows diff pages on every refresh .. lol .. but on the same position ..
i suggest you to get every type of backlinks (article submitting,directories, blog posts ...) to avoid from those types pf serp changes
google has been doing that with my sites as well lol, its funny but im moving between 1 and 2 for most of my keywords
Google is updating continually and it happens all the time. Up and down. Do not be worried about it. Just work on your SEO.
If I was as rich as Google I would be drunk too! LOL! Hell, I am right now and I dont make more than $200/day from my old computer. But seriously, Thats the google dance Its their constant indexing process which is ongoing and your rankings will always change. Dont pay much attention. I focus on the big picture as I maintain over 2,000 google rankings. I know a single top ranking can be very valuable, but It would (personally) drive me nuts if I watched a particular ranking go up and down. Your ranking will remain in the same area if you have relative backlinks. You may be #2 tomorrow.
I rank from no. 1 to nowhere at this time. Then back to no. 1 after a month. I don't know why Google is unpredictable like the mood swings of a 40-year-old virgin.
If you want a stable position in google search results, then you will have to build lots of high quality Backlinks
site has about 14k backlinks Most are quality, related and not paid one way links (made only about 3 or 4 link exchanges)! I'm still struggling...hope it won't last forever! :|
This up and downs are a normal thing to Google especially when a website is new. In time if you develop it and add links it will establish on high serps.
