Google updates its entire database of Web sites about once a month. This process of updating the database is called the “Google Dance” because the newly indexed Web pages appear first at www2.google.com, then they’ll be transferred to www3.google.com until they finally appear in the main index at www.google.com.
The Google Dance usually lasts only a couple of days near the end of each month. This month, the Google Dance was a little late when it started on March, 6th.
When you read this newsletter, the Google Dance should be over and Google should have a new and updated index. Check out if your rankings have changed in the new index:
The monthly update is only one of two separate update processes at Google. Since June 2002, Google changes rankings all through the month. The ongoing change became known as “everflux”.
Google introduced a “fresh crawl” process to make their results as relevant and as fresh as possible. It runs each day. The purpose of the daily fresh crawl is to update Web pages in the index that change regularly. This allows Google to provide results that are up-to-date with current events.
The fresh crawl not only adds modified pages but also new pages. However, those pages stay in the Google search results for only a few days. Only after the next major update you can tell if those pages will stay for a longer time in the index.
So when you see your Web site appear in the Google search results and then you check some days later and your site has disappeared, don’t panic. In this case, your site has been found and indexed by the fresh crawler. Be patient, your site will be listed at the end of this month or at the end of the following month.
