It is, of course, only one network of domains but it does seem to support Jane_Doe's observation that multi-keyword domains are "mostly gone." - Learning Curve

See, I didn’t read on and I should have, now I see I should finish this discussion before moving on. I’m sorry Learning Curve but I got lost in the first part of your post.

I think the key to what might be happening or at least should be looked at is the first part of your comment where you mention

only one network of domains - Learning Curve

That’s what I’d be looking at. See I think whole bodies are moving out of industries

Rarely do I find myself not understanding you chiyo but this may be one of them. First, I see where you are going with this….

Multi-keyword domain falling may not only be due to the fact they are multi-keyword, - chiyo

but then I don’t understand this…

because of what many people who buy multi-keyword domains do - chiyo

do what? Fall out?

I guess they are mainly people with not much real content interest in the keywords - chiyo

but I do get this… Maybe not that they aren’t “interested” but certainly they didn’t maximize on their efforts or fully follow up on their potential. People are not reading their logs nor do they know what to get out of them when they do and how very subtle changes can make a huge difference in results.

BikeMan – I want to make clear that I haven’t had a chance to look at the results I’ve taken snapshots of for the backward links changes except to note that I do like the way Google is offering them up and arranging them this month. I will probably comment on it somewhere when I have time to analyze my notes.

I agree completely with Jane_Doe in message #44, so that explains where you were going Chiyo?

Then chiyo #45 to BikeMan, good question. If it’s not happened yet I would be watching that. If a page is drawing traffic for some reason to a page that isn’t supported by the content then either support the page with content for future updates or figure in a few months it will drop back out.

This is such a long discussion and I’m absorbed with it. I’ll post these comments and then finish reading again when I have a chance. This is really a good discussion, thanks to all for sharing so much information and detail.
