What is Google Dance?

Hello Everyone,

Google Dance is an out-dated slang term used to describe the period of time in which Google used to rebuild its rankings, and as a result of this rebuilding, rankings of Web sites on Google's SERP may fluctuate in order during a several day period.
 
The Internet search engine Google has a huge database of various Internet data centers. Every month Google updates / re-indexes its database. Due to the size, it cannot simultaneously post a new index at all the data centers. If you happen to enter the same query repeatedly while Google is in the process of posting the index at various data centers, it might seem like the results are inconsistent. Whata™s actually happening is that you are seeing a result from an a˜olda™ version of index once and a result from the a˜newa™ version the next for a short period of time. Different search results in different Google search indices (google.com, www2.google.com, www3.google.com) is called Google dance.
 
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.
 
Approximately once a month, Google update their index by recalculating the Page ranks of each of the web pages that they have crawled. The period during the update is known as the Google dance.
 
Google dance is term which is used when we see the frequent ups and downs in any site keywords rankings. It can happen for some days continuously too in which you can observe huge up and down like some day it show on 10th page and other on 2nd or 3rd. It is usually very irritating for anyone.
 
Google dance is a term with content that Google is rearranging keyword rankings of websites. It usually takes a few days.
 
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. It was easiest be identified by significant changes in search results, and by an updating of Google’s cache of all indexed pages. These changes would be evident from one minute to the next. But the update did not proceed as a switch from one index to another like the flip of a switch. In fact, it took several days to finish the complete update of the index.
