Hi All, My website dropped brusquely from 30.000 visits per day to 2.000, that was on October 20th. While browsing DP forums I see a new term I did no know: Google Dance. What is Google Dance ? Is this something official or another Myth ? Solutions ? Please share you own experience here on how to solution this once you have been affected. Thank you
It's when your website jumps about different positions on the search engine constantly for a short period of time. People say that it is Google trying to find out where the best position is for your site. It's usually only short term, and usually your site will come out better at the end search position wise.
I think Google Dance is a scenario that the search engine holds your site for some reasons like there are other sites are more related in search query, unethical activities done in the site, and lack of popularity in promoting your site.
In search engine optimization (SEO), Google Dance is an out-dated slang term used to describe the period of time in which Google used to rebuild its rankings, and as a result of this rebuilding, rankings of Web sites on Google's SERP may fluctuate in order during a several day period. The "Google Dance" would happen anywhere up to 36 times per year, however in 2003 Google begun updating its index on a weekly basis, which all but eliminated the Google Dance.
