a few days ago one of my keyword dropped to the third page from first, yesterday it's back. now today one keyword dropped from first page to fifth page, is google dancing now?

Haven't noticed any changes here. I'm still #1 for my main keyword.

Most of the time, things are always like that. Google loves to do that always. Also, I guess your competitors are getting better than you, that's another possibility.

In my experience google likes to do a constant dance.
I'd focus on better link building and content and just ignore the dance.

Is your domain reasonably aged? This could be a factor as well. Newer domains seem to be more finicky in my experience.

Aside from this one, I think your keywords are not yet stable that's why they are still fluctuating from first page to third page and vice versa... IMO, if the keywords are stable, the changes of their rankings are not drastic..

i think you are right, the rankings have been fluctuating violently, so what to do now?

Just keep on building quality backlinks with proper targeting of your keywords...

Well so far my keywords are still intact. Never found any changes

I have not notice yet my main keywords are still there and there ranking has not changed

My rankings went up in the past few days, but still not so good.

Sometimes your site goes backwards, as the pack shuffles, if your sites good enough it will make its way back to the top !

Google dance is a common thing because competition is tough these days. To get a stable ranking, you need to continue on building links for your site.
