That's perfectly normal for a new site. Your listing will bounce around and stabilize after a few months. You may see your site one day and then it disappears the next. Completely normal in Googleland.

It has happened to me. A few weeks ago I was getting traffic from Google, and then it slowly petered down to very little. After a few days it went back up.

Just continue to add more unique content and not worry so much about Google. Everything will slowly fall into place for you.

SEO Buzz Box is a great site...thx

Getting listed is easy...staying there is a different story. Just keep publishing at regular intervals.

I've been told It's better to publish to the site a little at a time regardless of how much content you have ready to go. "organic growth" is the buzz-word. The site needs to remain active.

If you got results doing the opposite... so much for that theory.

I've watched my blog pages float up and down over the course of a few days...sometimes being above the fold sometimes on the bottom. The point is that google is becomming more "fluid" in it's rankings...especially foe new sites.

Besides it's the holidays so most in the states are focused on using the internet for that stuff.

Getting listed in a few days for a static site is pretty darn cool...that's a win as far as I'm concerned and lets hope Hamsters are big this Christmas season

I have a similar experience.

I started a new website last Friday (a week ago) and because of my Google Analytics stats, I found out that it's on page 1 of Google under common search phrases such as "let's go green" and "lets go green" without the quotes!

Try it! Please? hehe (it will probably help it stay there, if you do )

According to some info on this thread, my site will probably disappear soon from page 1... not looking forward to that. I will enjoy it while it lasts, and hope to be back in there soon, or not disappear in the first place

This is pretty normal with goggle. After I publish a new tutorial page on my PHP site, it stays up on google first page for few days bringing me the most traffic and then disappears. It doesn't disappear, it just goes down the index. Basically, from this point on, to get your page back up, you have to start building back links and that's the only way it will jump back up.

i think new pages/sites have this issue with google. I reckon the google bot tries to satisfy itself that the new page isn't any temporary set up to you know trick the search engines or indulge in illegal traffic generation techniques via the search engine.

I never seemed to have this problem though

I had the same problem with Google a few times in the past few months, mainly because my site is new (started in June).

I have noticed that I am getting more and more traffic from Google over the past month, so hopefully the days of me bouncing around are behind me.

Do you guys think the keyword for google 'hamster' is too out of reach (too populated) and it just wont get noticed? and 'hamster care' also.

Hamster, yes but any 1 worded keyword is the same (difficult to achieve). You need to target more specific phrases such as hamster care as you suggested.

Search for hamster care gives me 323,000 results, that's a very low number to compete against which is very good.
