      We have noticed with 3 of my sites that rankings totally disappears for 2-3 days and then appear again on google 1st page.

      Why does this happen?

        Hi Nitin, I think this is happened due any of the reasona below:

        1. Most of the times this may happen due to the changing Google algorithms. However irrespective of that it is essential to post regular content for the respective keywords. There must be continue backlink or backlinks at regular intervals for your keywords. This is estremely essential for keeping the rankings intact. Dont stop working on the keywords after securing good rankings, otherwise the rank would fall down again.

        2. This still happens to a few sites who are new. With new sites its known as the Google dance which is very common. As I said though, I still get it with sites that are over a year old. No one will every know for sure other than Google why this happens, but I guess we just have to get on with it.

        3. It may be true that some times it happens of duplicate content, not user friendly and other reasons happen for disappear.

        4. There are only two scenarios here. It's either your website is sandboxed or penalized by Google due to some unethical SEO practice or it could just be a mere Google Dance. Just wait 1-2 weeks. Your site should be back on track.

        Fore more reasons please refer to this link:

        I hope that your query ad been solved.

          I agree that this can be what is termed a "Google dance" and it is very unnerving. I would take it seriously and began to examine your code to make sure it is SEO friendly, and that you have unique content, and continuing with link building to that page with your anchor text. It sort of need to "stabilize" and the best way to stabilize it is to make sure everything in the source code is correct and that you continue to link build from quality sites. Don't do anything "tricky" or funny, just try to get people to link to you as best as possible.

            That's interesting behavior. Are you able to tell us those sites at all? Are they related in any way? How new are they? Any more information about them can help us answer you a bit better. Thanks!
