I went to the google dance tool and I don't know what it means. Anyone care to help a newbie? Also, when I type in thegifts2give on google I am not listed anymore. Any help would be appreciated.
Google Dance Search results (http://googledance.seochat.com/search.php?servers=www®ional=www.google.ae&rpp=10&alignment=vertical&alignment=compact&by=www.google-dance.com&q=thegifts2give&x=42&y=10)

Hi busy1,
I am not familiar with this tool but it seems that it lists the 10 first results (titles) from 4 different google datacenters:
www which is the one everybody uses when they type www.google.com
www2 and www3 which are google testing datacenters the ones you can check the results on during the dance and before it is moved to the www
www.google.ae is the google for the United Arab Emirate therefore I suppose that the tool creator must live there.
Hope this helps

No, that's just the regional search that was included in the link provided by busy1, perhaps unintentionally.
Start with this page:
http://googledance.seochat.com
You'll see a drop down selection box center page about a third of the way down that says "www.google.ae", which is simply the top of a list of regional googles that could be selected (I would likely select "www.google.ca").
As I understand it, when Google is adjusting their databases ("dancing"), you will see variations in the order of listings across the 4 -- when the updating is complete, they should all read the same (except possibly the regional one, depending on which keywords are entered).
Interestingly, I am seeing different results for www than for www2 or www3 tonight, which tends to support claims that the "dance" continues...
