My site usually appears on the google.com 1st page for the term "barbados property". Now and again, it will disappear way down the rankings, and currently it is on page 20. After a few days it will re-appear on page 1, around position 6. Is that normal behaviour?

Name 5 reasons why a website's rankings can drop from page 1 and then back up again in only a few days?

I've edited it again, making it even more specific. I'm only asking for 5 reasons. I think the question is much more focused now. Can you open it? – jnthnclrk Nov 1 '11 at 10:25
