Anyone knows how to formulate a search in Google that will present only/exclusively supplemental results for a site in the SERP. This could be practical when trying to change the title and META descriptions on pages where this is not yet done

Phantom traffic meaning I can't see it in my version of Google, but somewhere out there on some data center is seeing it.

1) Same title on all pages (as mentioned)
2) Same meta description text on all pages I guess the moral of the story here is before crying wolf... read the google webmaster guidelines |
|
Can you point me to the part in Google's "webmaster guidelines" where they talk about meta descriptions?

[google.com...] Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content. Make sure that your TITLE and ALT tags are descriptive and accurate. Check for broken links and correct HTML. Seems pretty clear but others may need to read between the lines.

There is no <alt> tag. It's an attribute. :-)

Yeah but, when the discussion moves on to talk about <title> tags and title="" attributes, people are going to get left behind if someone uses the wrong name...

All of my beloved lost traffic is back on [216.239.53.99...] Does this mean I'm getting a payraise?

Are you sure this is the 'ONE' because if it is ( it's been flickering all day). I've been getting hits and when I check my pages are gone. I'll be very happy for the first time in a while

" Something is going on big today....Are traffic has just about dried up. " If you look at the pattern across dc's, this mess is a long way from fixed (unless Google thinks the BD index SHOULD contain hundreds of thousands of pages deleted in the past 6 months). If Google was a ship it would be taking on water and drifting aimlessly without power.

I do not know JO, but that DC which is showing 100,000,000 results for my KW has a news article Posted Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2002 in the top 10. You figure it out.

I am starting to see a shift on various data centers. My fingers are crossed as I have been toiling away all winter making back up plan upon back up plan, just in case. Edit*
Additional Info I am going to assume this is only isolated to a couple of DC's as I am running kw tracker and i am actually doing well on that DC (which i have been doing all month long) [edited by: 300m at 8:35 pm (utc) on Mar. 29, 2006]

Seo1: The date of the article is an issue because USA Today, CNN, Fox..., blah, blah, all write about this KW at least once a week, for an example, right now Google News has 1080 fresh news articles for this KW, and that DC is showing one from Dec 2002, thats my point. It is old, very old content to be on page one of a KW with 100,000,000 results.

I just did a cache check and one of my pages was from Dec 2005 BUT the rest of the pages around it were from March 26,27 2006
what than means I don't know. Another page I have was ranked so high on a very very competitive keywords it's ridiculous (for how long I don't know) Fool me once, shame...ect

SEO1: yeah, the more I look at DC: [216.239.53.99...] I can just tell it will not stick, it certainly will not rollout to the other DC's. I have seen this before, G has not added all the filters and/or brought in other factors, i.e. back links. That DC is a carbon copy (with a few minor exceptions) of the live Google from three years ago.

SEO1, please trust me..., I am not caught up in emotions, my site has never moved once, it just stays put right up top of the serps and does very well. I know this KW better than anyone, I remember the day this article came out over 3 years ago, it is nothing special. It is not SEO-ed, in fact it is a PR0. It has zero back links. I does not belong in the top 10.

I can beleive KO's statement. I have seen several instances of old crusty pages that may have had some kind of relevance a few years ago, but is no longer relevant. Especially old news articles.

Well after KOs description it and seeing others issues seems old black hat spam is back? at a 100mil competing with no backlinks showing it wouldn't make front page without black hat bolstering it somehow..

Na, no black hat with the article that I am discussing, it is a major news corp article, but it is not linked to from this news site anywheres. this is just Google being Google.
