I have a particular page on a site I have been working for 9mos to get up the rankings for a competitive 2-word search term. For the last 4 weeks, like clockwork, the page drops from the front page to the 9th every Tuesday! Then right back up on Wednesday.

As I was working to get the page ranked, I noticed serious fluctuations like that all the time, but never on the same day every week for 4 weeks!

Probably just the datacentre rotation brings the same one around on Tuesdays.

Don't bother "rankchecking" on Tuesdays and it will never bother you again.

Now if I could just get the site owner to not rankcheck EVER!

Sometimes waving the sales figures under their nose distracts them long enough
