Default Is G dancing?

I'm seeing a lot of movement on page 1. Anyone else? I'm also seeing things I really don't like, like Trulia and Yahoo gaining ground on page 1. How in the world do we fight that?

I noticed the same thing today. My website has moved up from #16 to #6. I've seen the same movement a few weeks ago and then everything has settled and I was back to #16. I hope it's permanent, but who knows what Google is doing.

I have not seen anything today. Keep building backlinks and content and you should stay ahead of truila and yahoo.

Seeing some pretty decent shifts in some niches and none at all in others.

Yes! I moved from #40 to the #6 slot for "city real estate" today. I only do that good when Google moves around. I am sure that Google will put me back in the tank soon enough

I saw some movement where I shifted from 4th to 9th, not happy about that but trying to manage it now...I thought it was just me but I see others have the same issues or the reverse of the same issues

Default Re: Is G dancing?

For a while now, I have seen sites get pulled off of the second or third page of the serps and put into the #2-6 spots. They stay there for a day or 2 and then things go back to somewhat normal for a while and then it happens again with a different site. Then it happens with the same sites again.

My guess is g is testing to see which sites are sticky but not ranking too well. They give a promising site a chance at the top and watch to see if it outperforms the site it replaced.

This could be a part of them using traffic data to gauge the worthiness of a site.

I have been seeing the exact same thing as Bigtoe. Every day or two some new site is up at the top of page one.
