I am not sure if I should be posting this here or not. I know there has been a lot of speculation as to whether or not a position #6 penalty even exist. I can’t say for sure or even if I have been penalized. I have a well-established site that has been coming up in the SERPS on Google for the last two months. Two weeks ago I was fluctuation up and down on page 2 of Google. Last week, my site bounced from the top of page 2 on Google to the bottom of page 1 all week long. What got me concerned, is that it kept bouncing to page 1 sometimes in position 6, 7 and 8 for the entire day and then it would bounce back to position 6 on page 2 in Google and stay there until the following day. Now, I seem to be stuck in position 6 on page 2 and I am not fluctuating at all. I don’t know if I have been hit with some sort of penalty or what. I would love to here your thoughts on it. I can post the link here if you want me to. Hi Dan and Team, I came across this site while searching Google for page #6 penalty. I am not sure if I should be posting this here or not.

We have a client with 50+ optical shop offices that is having a major problem getting all their addresses listed correctly.

I had to create a second google account and then add the incorrect details as they were showing. This way I was able to own those incorrect details. After about 2 days the correct website address was showing. Prior to this I'd posted in the Google Maps group but hadn't gotten a response and noticed noone else's posts were being replied to either... what a waste of time.

Google has multiple data centers, it takes a while for everything to sync up. Sometimes a long while. Just be patient, this kind of thing happens a lot.
