Forum Moderators: open
The Google update threads have exploded. As I’m writing this post the September thread has reached 370 posts. In all of these post the most valuable is the first one, which announces the update. The next 100 posts are me too post people. From 100 to 200 people are ”still seeing changes”. In all the last posts people are more or less happy with the results.
I stopped reading the Google update thread a long time ago because it is useless.
May I suggest that all future Google update threads are started and locked by a moderator.
We all now that there is a Google update every month so lets not make a fuss about it. It’s also no surprise that results are changing during the update. Of course some do better and some do worse.
Don’t get me wrong. There are some quality posts in the thread but there is just too much noise around them.
It’s nice to see so many people participating on Webmaster World but some self-discipline would be nice. Sometimes I think that people are more interested in increasing their personal post count than contributing with quality content to a quality forum.
This post may feel as a slap in the face to someone but that is the easiest way to get focus on a problem;)
Beside the Google update threads I truly believe that this is the greatest forum in the world, which is why I try to contribute to keep it that way.
