I have a strange problem. My site is 7 months old, and PR2. http://www.a1newspapers.com/ On 9thDecember 2007 My site came on first place for many keywords + it came high in search results for many other. After 3 days, my host was down for many hours(this was not the first time, my host had so many problems). I was using a cheap hosting, so I decided to move to godaddy. While moving , I think my site was down for 24+ hours. Now, I see only 2 different placements for my site in search results 1. I see my site, all pages, coming up on the very last page of search results, even for the title of my pages. 2. Some times, they jump from last page to the top of search results (not only for a day or 2). I don’t see my site slowly moving from last page of search results to the second last page of search results and so on, it must jump to top of search results, and then move back to the last page. Please, can anyone tell me whether this is some kind of Penalty?
its called the google dance, its an actual term, good luck with this, i have this same issue with one of my sites
Its not a penalty. Basically, i think, while your site was down, other sites moved up and tok your place, and now your in the back. For example, if you were in line, and you stepped out to change your clothes to better ones (ie; changed hosting), the others would obviously move up in line and take your place. Something of this sort has happened to you. @ angelofpeace....the google dance? Lol, nice one.
