Are Google Serps Inconstant?

Last Update: June 17, 2012
I've been noticing ever since Penguin that many of my sites are bouncing around like crazy between pages 1 - 6. Everyday I have pages ranking way differently then they were the day before. I'll notice a forum that ranked higher than mine one day, and then the next the forum isn't to be found 10 pages deep and all of a sudden mine is on page one. The next day mine will be page 6 and I'll see forums, youtube videos, and random blogs ranking.

Anyone else notice their sites just rocking and rolling in the serps like this?

Hi Jesse, Since my site came back from the last 'Google slap' (pre-penguin), it stayed in the number 1 or 2 position for a week, then now it has gone again... still indexed but don't know which page it's appearing on!

I've heard others say that this is normal for it to bounce around for a while (esp with new sites) and that it will eventually settle down. I hope it all settles down sooner than later for us both!

Sort of but not from page 1 to 6. See more like 1 to 2. Or page 3 to 4 to 5 to 6.
