Day 8 - Doing a Little Dance

I spent much of today participating in the SideWiki debate which was less than thrilling.  This new “tool” is a nightmare and I hope it goes away or someone develops a blocker quickly.  But that’s neither here nor there.  On to the Challenge!

I’ve heard about the Google Dance and now I’ve got my shoes on.  I checked today just to see how my sites are doing and the index results were interesting.

Site 1 now has 9 pages (all but one page) indexed.

Site 2 & 3 have been de-indexed.

I’m happy about site 1, less than thrilled about sites 2 & 3 but I’m not freaking out.  Apparently this is common and when you come back it’s usually stronger than before.  So, patience grasshopper is my mantra of the day.

I also did a keyword ranking search for site #1 and two of my keywords are ranking.  One is at spot 205 and the other is at 340.  That’s very encouraging!

Here are the MNF stats for those words:

Keyword 1

  • Google placement:  205
  • Local Searches:  880
  • Phrase Count: 108,000
  • SOC:  5
  • Spyfu:  $0.88 - $3.93

Keyword 2

  • Google placement:  340 (1 backlink)
  • Local Searches:  3,600
  • Phrase Count: 61,700
  • SOC:  49 (this is the highest for this site)
  • Spyfu:  $0.98 - $5.09

No traffic or earnings yet obviously since I’m sitting 20+ pages back but hopefully as more of the articles get approved I’ll start moving up in the rankings.

Today was both a content creation and an article submission day.  I wrote and uploaded the first page of site #4 which is in the pet niche and I submitted three more articles using ArticleBot.

I also went back and did a ping on every one of my articles that I got an approval notification form the one page from site #1 that hasn’t been indexed and the first page of site #4.  I wanted to make sure the search engines knew that there was new info there to take a look at.

Finally, I bookmarked 2 pages using Bookmarking Demon.

    I’m not sure what you’re asking but as far as I know, the google dance happens everywhere.

    Now if you’ve been a keen Google fan you’ll know that they have 3 main www servers online, which are as follows:

    http://www.google.com - The main address, the true homepage of google.
    www2.google.com - Thought to be a test server.
    www3.google.com - Thought to be a test server.
