Since a few days ago, Google Dance has taken place. Some websites or blogs are affected while some not. This has been confirmed by several DigitalPoint forumers.
MrDefinite.com unfortunately has suffered the effect of Google Dance and has now been pushed to the second page of the SERP for the highly competitive keyword “make money online” instead of the main page.
But what is Google Dance?
And I quote from metamend, the definition of “Google Dance” in layman’s terms:
The name “Google Dance” was in the past used to describe the period that a major index update of the Google search engine are being implemented. These major Google index update occured on average every 36 days or 10 times per year.
As a result of Google Dance, this website losing one third of the traffic it used to get. The decrease in traffic also means a decline of conversion.
According to some people who had experienced Google Dance before, it sometimes took up to three months to gain back ranking.
While some websites say the effect of Google Dance signifies penalisation from Google over some terms and conditions that a Webmaster has broken, other sources say that Google Dance happens to everyone in a random manner. Some even say it is only a temporary effect.
I’m not sure whether or not linkbuilding over a short period of time will immediately help push up ranking. I’m just going to experiment a bit and keep you updated again.
I’m such an optimist! Anyway, feel free to share should you have any experience on Google Dance.
