I'm #8, then its gone, then it's back again #5... then it #50... why do my keywords come and go almost daily? Is that normal? It jumps around but google hasn't even been back to my page yet... my site is really new so I'm only getting crawled like every 5 days. Is there something I could be doing to get my keywords to stablize? I am adding content almost daily... so is this just because my site is new?
Google and other search engines never guarantee permenant ranking for any specific website. Depending on various factors the ranking changes occasionally. New sites get good ranking in the first couple of weeks. Sandbox experience will follow
I know the rankings aren't permanent... I guess I just didn't expect them the change daily... is that normal?
Not necessarily...I've had plenty experience with sites that have had no signs of being in a sandbox. However, as mentioned, it's typical in google and even other SE's for your rankings to jump around.
Google might be dancing at the moment, that could explain such random changes. try again next wek, it might have settled down again.
