Recently I found some unique pattern of my website traffic which is drop for several days. Some of my friend told me that it’s normal, and caused by what so called Google Dance.
According to wikipedia,
Google dance refers to the period of time when Google indices are tuned. This will often cause both a fluctuation in index size as well a significant change in a web site’s search result position.
Based on my experience the Google Dance will decrease my website traffic up to 80% from normal traffic. So if my website daily traffic is around 100 unique visits. Then during the Google dance the traffic is only around 20-30. This situation will be happen around 2-3 weeks. Usually it’s happen to every new sites which under 6 month old.
However in the real life there is a lot of cases about Google Dance. In some forum I found some websites that have unusual traffic for each 3 month. And in the others resources I read that the major Google index update occurred on average every 36 days or 10 times per year.
Have you ever been in this situation? My suggestion is don’t panic. Just wait around 2-3 week watching the traffic come back. Yes, in the search engine optimization, result pages are very important, but watching the pattern is also more important.

My Journey in internet is about to begin, here is my internet history, written in my mother language: Indonesia.
Babak 1: Feb 1999, Yahoo / Geocities
Babak 2: Mei 2004, Blogspot,
Babak 3: Jan 2006, Wordpress,
Babak 4: Jan 2008, Dotcom
Saya menulis diblog sejak Mei 2004, blogspot adalah pilihan saya waktu itu. Kalau dirunut dari pertama kali menulis di internet mungkin sejak Februari 1999 adalah saya pertama kali menulis di geocities. Gaya penulisannya tidak menarik, panjang-panjang, kadang lebih mirip diari. Mungkin seharusnya ide tentang personal blog adalah dengan gaya seperti ini.
Kemudian sejak Jan 2006 saya mulai menulis di wordpress. Dukungan komunitas seperti top-post, blog of the day dari wordpresslah membuat pertumbuhan blog menjadi sangat cepat. Dan puncaknya adalah Oktober 2007 dengan hits hingga 5404 dalam satu hari.
Tahun 2008 ini saya mulai mencoba membuat dotcom sendiri, ada beberapa, mulai bicararumah.com -sebenarnya merupakan versi terorganisir dari versi bicararumah.wordpress.com, kemudian securityprocedure.com, tempat saya belajar mengenai adsense dan online-earning. Dan tentunya blog baru ini, priandoyo.com
