A major update to SERP in Google this Month

From a couple of days ago Google started what is known among webmasters as Google Dance which is a major update in SERP (Search Engine Ranking Page) results. In every such update there is many losers and many winners among the SEO people. For bloggers the effect is less noticeable as most of bloggers get their traffic from RSS advertising and feed search engines, thank God they don't have dances, at least till this day.

Some people say that the websites that lost their ranking always get back to where they where after the end of the dance. others say they will be penalized and put in the bottom of the results pages.

What is obvious in the last Google dance that many websites lost their ranking for now and are either 10 pages back or nowhere in the results page, all that can be done for this now for webmasters who lost their ranking is wait and watch. The update has started but its not finished yet and it will take time to see the results.
