I've been watching some listings in google and notice that when I type the same keyword in I get a different listing each time. Some times the same people come up but in different order. Other times one that was on number one page is no longer there at all.Wonder if that's their new thing? When the same person searches they're fed a different group each time. Something like that. If so, it's not good for those who have high listings.skThat is an interesting thought. I would hate for it to become common practice, because sometimes I do a search and forget to bookmark the sites I redo the search to see where I have been.Well, I don't know if it's just my site or not. But I've tested several of my pages that are unrelated and they come and go --- they go from page one to fifteen and some go out. Then come back. Frankly it's distressing. I can see why g might do it. Say a person does a search for hand tools. G can tell he's been on that page before so it feed up another group for him to select from. Makes sense in a weird way --- for the person searching --- maybe.But for the person listed it means lost business, lost visitors.skThis is just the never-ending update in Google. For the last two weeks you have been seeing results from different datacenters. This continues today and will probably for awhile.I disagree strenously with you on this. This has been happening to me for two months . . . hardly an update. It's something else. It may just effect me but I'm not vain enough to think that's the case.skIts called EverFlux...the never ending update. It started 2-3 months ago, but big changes (sometimes hourly) have been happening since mid-end April.Well, tell you what. On the surface it may look like a good idea for people looking for something. And to a degree, it is. But for those of us who depend on our listings for income, it's bad news. In addition, MSN has a superior search all the way around. You get better results every time. The results in google are not good in many cases. I hope they don't keep this current scheme if that's in fact what it is. And if you're right about an "never ending update".BTW, this does not effect everyone to as large a degree as it is effecting my sites. I see a few of my competitors retain their positions through it all. That's why I can't buy your statement.It could be do with google link evaluations.Type of link, length of backlink, reciprocal linked, related link, unrelated link, neigbourhood link, associated links from the linked site, url owner comparison and links between them and possibly many other factors associated with links.Each google crawl re-evaluates every one of those and a new listing is generated as a result.The sites that nothing has changed could remain constant while on sites that anything has changed it varies on each search for relevance.So sometimes sites will remain in the same place for the same search term by the same person as nothing changed with those sites while other times the search term will bring up different results because google hasn't finalised its positioning of those results due to ranking factors having been changed recently - meaning google hasn't fully verified them to be 100% by legitimate means.Of course it could be simple webpage updates that lead to fluctuating results and new webpages being added etcI have one page that has some RSS on it and it changes frequently yet my rank is consistant and has been for a very long time. Another page has been static and it is not consistant. So that throws that away.I find the RSS seems to help as long as it is filtered so it uses the right keywords.sk
