Google dance

Hi,

Just want to know if google dance is going on at the moment. 3 of the sites that i am optimizing are having problems. Homepage of all those sites have vanished from the search results however they are showing up fine when i do site:
What could be the problem? or its just a temp thing? usually i very calm with these things but 3 sites at the same time.

Is this something to do with 3 way links i've been getting for them? 3 way links are inbound links only and should not harm the site in any way.

Any suggestions?

Does your website show up when you do search domain or domain.com on google search box?

If yes then you are still fine maybe just a glitch from Google else you will have same sort of penalization being placed by G on those 3 sites that you have.

I see G! Dance but not Rock n Roll yet!

Yes site shows up fine on domain search as well as on site:domain.com and all the inner pages are showing up on search results however homepages have vanished. Maybe its G dance and nothing serious.

One of the site that was ranking #1 on a competitive term is now on 28th and too far down for other terms where it used to be in top 3.

Any suggestions?

Anyone experiencing the same?

yepp....havin' the same problem...my homepage just dissapeared from the rankings (from a top 10 place)

Same here..I think google is updating their algos... my main keywords are just vanished away... Google dance..going on....

According to my analysis, this week G should doing some changes on their algo and you will see the impact next week.

I've been watching google footstep for past 2 years that is how i jump into the conclusion about this week changes.

For those of you who had the same problem,this isn't over yet. It could be just a glitch that G has.

If this domain of yours just drop the ranking for no reason, it could be few factors:

1) Your contents are old
2) Your website lost Authority from G! (are you using any automated query to google from your website)
3) Your link being devalue by G!
4) Check to see if someone try to harm you by doing PROXY HIJACKING! or Create duplicate content to replicate your site.

It could be one of those few factors. Do the check list for your website.

I have been experiencing the same thing. 3 of my sites have also vanished from the first serp.

the same here i have been ranking in the 5th or 7th position (first page) out of 62,600,000 web pages for "web talk" and now i am nowhere to be seen

It all looks very reminiscent of Florida 2003.
Took a lot of sites out back then, about this time of the year too.

its just normal for google that fluctuations happens because they are updating their database...eventually, the disappeared site will come back...

Same thing here! Inner pages still ok for search results but my home page has dropped right down for searches it was showing up in the top spot for.

Can anyone shed any more light on this?

I've been checking stats all day and they're dancing like a good'en.

No. Google stopped the "dance" in 2003 when it moved to continuous updates.

hi,
just a quick note. as far as I am concerned everything is back to normal. my blog is in the same position as before. apparently the Google dance is over for me
