Strange Site Movement

[Mystro]

My site has been jumping around for the last few weeks, its not really keywords but the whole site

I can understand some keywords jumping up and down the rankings but for me its my whole site

For instamce Ill give you 5 keywords and and when 1 moves they all move, why would that be

For instance when they are good the sit on Google

Contract Hire 3
Cheap car leasing 3
Car leasing Essex 1
Car Leasing 11
personal car leasing 3

When their bad

Contract Hire 11
Cheap car leasing 9
Car leasing Essex 4
Car Leasing 15
Personal car leasing 6

Why is the whole site Jumping and not individual Keywords

This pattern has been going on for 3 weeks now, it will stabalise for 2/3 days then spend 2/3 days shuffling like above

When did you last make changes to your site?

Sometimes even quite minor tweaks can cause a period of 'shuffling' while the site 'settles' into it's new positions.

Even then, some degree of movement is reasonably common (although it sounds like yours is doing a bit of a yo-yo job) - how are you tracking the rankings - by hand or using a package?

Last made any changes 3 Months ago, but the car deals are on a feed and change costantly.

I have a package i use to track but also check by hand .

I was just curious as if one keyword moves so do the rest which i think odd and they end up in the exact postions, first of all i thought it was my pc and i deleted the Cache to make sure ... but hey ho very strange

Also you need to factor in different google data centres will give different results if there has been a change in content whilst the centres play catchup.

Quite often yes - although not necessarily.

And indeed, a bit strange - although because so many factors are involved in ranking, you can see shifts (as per other posters - if a change has happened, results can fluctuate as the data propagates from one google datacentre to another).

If a lot of the data on the site is dynamic and expires/is removed, etc, then you'd have to expect some fluctuation - it's hard to be more specific without spending time digging into it, to be honest!

No content or titles have been changed for at least 3 months

Its probably somthing silly but all the keywords change at the same time to the same positions i have searched manually and used a program for checking,

They will remain stable now for the next few days then spen another day or jumping around

this has been the pattern for the last 3 weeks or so.

If it were just onne keyword i could understand it but not the majority..

Ah Matt you may have hit somthing there

I have just stopped a feed to my site which updated 1400 cars per month, which i have had switched off, i only add the cars that should sell rather than the Rolls Royce, and ferraris which wont so in theory i have just lost 900 inner pages

I just wonder if that mass deltion of inner dynamic pages has caused the fluctuation
