Google Dance

The name "Google Dance" has often been used to describe the index update of the Google search engine.

Here's how the Google Dance works:

Roughly, on a monthly basis, Google updates its index of web pages. This means that pages which no longer exist may be dropped, while new pages that have been found may be added.

The index update, or the Google Dance, is also a time when Google may introduce new tweaks and changes to how its ranking algorithm works.

For the average searcher, the Google Dance period is not that important because as far as they can tell Google acts the same way it always did. However, for search engine optimizers a Google Dance can be a period of dramatic change during which there may be significant movement in search results and Google may show new backward links for pages.

For example, a website owner who has a page in the top results that's accidentally dropped from the index during a Google Dance could see a significant loss of traffic until the page gets restored during the following month's Google Dance, or refresh period.
