When G result is bouncing

As long as you still appear in the results, it's a good thing.
The moment you no longer see yourself indexed, then that's a bad thing...
As everyone says...keep adding content and building links. Most importantly, WAIT and see what happens...these things take time to play out.

Lol give the guy a break.
On a more serious note, I've seen heavy bouncing on sites that got deindexed soon after.
The following will sound crazy, but sometimes it actually helps to speed up the inevitable - kind of like reverse psychology.
This is what you do: you actually put a noindex metatag on your pages. That's right, you deindex them first. (btw instructions here, not a dickroll you can neg me if it is)
This causes the googlebots to do a double-take (they were about to deindex your site, but it's already got a noindex metatag) so your site ranking stays safe. Think of it like multiplying two negatives gives you a positive (like -2 x -2 = 4).
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your special congrats(!)
I do a lot of seo here so that is how I got 200+ :smokin: but since I wanted to know what the statistics with such bouncing I decided to wrote this question
and the next MSG a day after was when I saw no reply and my site started bounce up and down like I didn't saw before.
some very interesting things people published here that I actually thinking about de-index the site for a while...
anyway I think this is a very interesting subject (the bouncing) and maybe we can try to understand what comes with it. a fall or maybe a rise.
On using different search settings (like, personalized search, using different browsers, your ranking may be get influenced due to busy data centers) you will see different results, which you are terming as keyword bouncing.

Your keyword will bounce around because people are backlinking their website, new websites are being launched, some old websites dropping or being neglected, etc, etc.. there are so many factors that will affect your KWs. Like a lot of people suggested, keep backlinking and add new contents on your website to help stabilize its position or increase its SERP.
+1 on this. What tends to happen for my keywords is a drop then a rise. For example i'm currently targeting a very competitive keyword and I was #13 four days ago. I did extra blog commenting etc on that day and it bounced down to #19 the next day only the bounce back up to #11 the day after that.
It's almost like 1 step back, 2 steps forward.
This is exactly what my sites go through, not huge differences in ranking, but around 10 positions max from the previous one.
As mentioned above, ignore the dance until it settles. Don't whisper a word or write crap about your position until it settles. So what bouncing means?
In simple terms: G has loads of data centers spread around the globe. When the algo updates the index, it can not do all of them at once. It takes time to consolidate massive amount of data changes using the BigTable (ex-MapReduce). Once all the data centers updated, you got your position, until variables change again. If it keep dancing for longer than you expect, it means the algo keeps making changes to the index, the other centers keep catching up.
Go and do something useful until it settles.
