Hi everyone,

For one of my major keywords, my listing has gone from Page 1 to PAGE 25 several times in the last 2 months. It stays on page 25 for like a week and a half and then is on page 1 for 4-5 days. Then back to page 25, etc.

I haven't been able to correlate it to any site activity , like a freshbot crawl or major content changes, etc. Anyone know why this is happening?

Thank you and nice to be here...

Astrogirl,

This could still just be the freshbot. If the freshbot indexes your pages, you get a boost from the current site contents. Then, when the "fresh" expires, your site and rank revert to the previous deep-crawled version.

Barring a serious Google malfunction, nothing in their non-paid listings changes more often than once a month, except for fresh listings.

If you have some good solid incoming links, things should stabilize with the next update.
