Strange google behaviour

[pokerextras]

For the last month or so, one of my sites, zenrakeback.com, has been steadily rising in google for the search poker rakeback. Yesterday it was in the 40's but today it's in the 270's and i haven't changed a thing. Has anyone else noticed strange results?

It's not a google issue. You may have a penalty or it may be that you don't have "Poker Rakeback" anywhere on your homepage.

That sounds like a penalty.

Are you familiar in Google Dance?

If you're doing nothing, then its not your fault. Maybe Google is Dancing as what they called it. Google is updating. It may take 4-6 days. After Google finished updating their SE, your rankings will go back to its original ranks.

Don't panic.

i hope so. I can't see it being a penalty as i haven't added any links or changed anything for about two months. The home page is fully keyword and meta optimised for poker rakeback randy.

It it this zen site? If so then no its not even close to optimized? What am I missing? I don't see "Poker Rakeback" anywhere? Not on the page, not in your title tag.

Also, the ton of links at the bottom could have caused the penalty. They are very obvious and stand out like a sore thumb.

And seriously I just looked again, you DO NOT have the work "Rakeback" or "Poker Rakeback" anywhere on your homepage. Its all "Kickback" etc -

If I'm missing something please show me?? You don't even have any links with "rakeback" in the url.

google dance could be a possibility as well though that usually happens at an earlier stage from my experience of it anyway

[Ridge]

Yeah no, this is not the "google dance" maybe a -200 penalty or just that fact its not optimized for rakeback

hi Randy. You must be looking at zenkickback.com. zenrakeback.com is fully optimised for poker rakeback. Here it is poker rakeback and sign up bonus.

Ah ok my bad, still a lot of the same things apply, although you do have a few references to rakeback, the site may have a penalty. I would consider working more on it.

You really need lots more content and text, specially on the homepage. Add some content to it and keep adding.
