Strange Google Behavior - Dancing?

    Ever since the last PR update around July 21, my SERPs are bouncing all over the place from day to day.

    Several sites increased BLs and PR. These same sites can have a keyword bouncing from serp 2+3 to 60.

    I've also noticed that many pages that used to be cached are no longer cached. The home page is still cached and many other pages.

    I think the cache situation is related to the SERP change, as I've seen a lessor optimized page show up since the more specific page is no longer cached.

    Has anyone else noticed this, or does this indicate I need to fix something on my sites?

    Noticed the same w.r.t. SERPs. Especially for competitive KWs there are great discrepancies between SERPs shown in the Keyword Tracker and the real SERP in my local G (G.at) - KW Tracker is always better than reality, unfortunately :mad: .

    Caches are ok, however.

    Our rankings are bouncing in out of the SERP like a yoyo since the last update aswell.

    Fine Dominic. Though, concluding from the picture, you look a bit too relaxed, don't you... :rolleyes:

    I hope there's another update coming because I received some great links from people that didn't show up in this last backlink update. It was a weird update. My PR4 backlinks disappeared and now only internal PR0 links are showing.

    I did see PR changes at the last BL update (some up / some down) for several of my sites. Most others in the forum seemed to report no change. Actually I noticed it on July 17.

    Some of my loosers, where the URLs without the 'www.' since I worked to change old links to use the www. form.

    Seems you were a lucky one... did your PR go up or down? None of my 7 websites had any PR change, and you are the first person I find that actually had any changes
