Why is my site bouncing in and out of rankings?

    In the last few weeks, my site will show high in the rankings for my keyword and then it will drop totally out for a few days, then it will come back in the same position for a couple days, and then drop out again....

    Has anyone experienced something like this?

    Even when it drops out, Google Webmasters says that it's ranking well. When it drops out, it's not being deindexed (still works using site:mysite.com) but does not show up in any Google rankings even for the site name.

    Don't worry , same for me here, bounce from 3rd position to 11th position, quite frustrating......nothing we can do, just leave it.

    Yeah, mine is bouncing from like #3 to #300 though. I'm wondering if this could be some sort of penalty, but if it was, would it keep coming back?

    Read some information about "Google Dance". I think it's yours case.

    This is very common, I would not be too worried. Keep building content, backlinks etc and eventually you will have a far more stable position.

    I get the odd change here and there, which is nothing to worry or panic about, but I find my page 1 SERPS stay relatively the same for months and months!
