How true. So first a big thanks to Brett that he pays all this webspace for all unhappy webmasters to empty their hearts.

I just had the idea whether It'd make sense to establish a tool (database) where all webmasters might insert their observations instead of chaotically complaining and filling threads like this.

For a simple start it would perhaps suffice to have a form/database comprising the date, url (deep), keyword and two integer values for the result-spot before and after any update.

If you ask me googles algos have become so complex, that any hand-made analysis by trial and error is somewhat out of time. We urgently need means to proceed towards a more professional process of theory-builing and -evaluation of SEO-techniques. Such a database might be a very good basis for building automatic tools for analysis, and it would be perfectly fine if read-access to such a database was limited to the paid section.
