Also you cant keep preaching "white hat" then pull this crap when the christmas rush is coming or whenever you need to line your pockets. What you will intern recieve is "black hats" of your own creation.
That right google just made a whole new army of black hats on saturday, now googles problems are worse.
I then began to look and found a disaster.
I love Google, I live by it - but in general searches (not checking our Clients serps) I am finding a HUGE mess! I cant even find a local plummer anymore! ARGH!
Whats the excuse this time? "The searches will be better-better"?
HL
Which one is that? Is there a reference somewhere which equates the numbers with the www-xx datacenters?
Last time Dominic we were told "just wait the searches will be better"
Whats the excuse this time? "The searches will be better-better"?
that's cuz you spell it plumber not plummer.
I've heard that laughter can brighten a disastrous situation. Thank you for making me laugh during these rough times... :(
I am reading articles all over the web about the Florida update. The most interesting one I read was titled:
Google ruins US Economy and the X-Mas Season -AP
Maybe this update will lead to the down fall of Google as people start to move onto another search engine, maybe the Google SERP's will get better... Only time will tell.
Maybe Google are updating to Red Hat Enterprise ;)

no problem :)
for the first time ever I am seeing lots of confused, angry and frustrated webmasters.
I agree, but there were angry, confused, frustrted webmasters before but not like this!, this time the balance between good and bad comments has shifted dramatically.
Perhaps the happy members have just learned not to post in threads like this about their success, and sit back and smile. ;)
Its update Domonic all over again. While reading this thread I feel like I stepped into a time machine taking me back to last May.
Didnt we learn anything from Domonic? Just like last time GoogleGuy has been saying over and over that not all the data has been incorporated yet. Yet webmasters still insist on predicting the demise of Google.
Guess what ... it didnt happen then, and it wont happen now!
A.) An environment where an easy to understand, documented, algorythm allows those that can manipulate their web content correctly to rise to the top.
B.)An environment where only you know the algorythm but changes to the algorythm are made based purely on end user feedback.
C.)An environment where only you know the algorythm and you change that algorythm when and how you choose.
By introducing significant changes, it will help to keep things more honest. If you knew that your site was basically stable in Google, then wouldn't you be tempted to make a little change and watch what happens, and then make another little change and watch what happens.
What if there were a place like WW where you could post your little changes, and the results. Guess what, other people would do the same, and little by little, the results would be based on little tricks and tweaks.
By adjusting things such that there is semi-chaos created and a sense of confusion on what does / doesn't work in Google, I think they are ensuring a long life.
Overall, I don't think Google has made too many huge mistakes, even though I've been as frustrated as everyone else here, on occassions.

I think googles goal is to provide quality search results.
so B
in the long run quality search results will keep google around and give it the ability to
make money long term.
It could be considered rude to post of absolute delight and thanking the Google Gods amongst a bunch of the webmasters whose sites had the reverse fate, and are in angst. And consider that the content, confident, satisfied and pleased webmaster just doesn't have the emotional need to post as much as the angry, confused, frustrated, and suicidal webmaster. I still find it curious that all the test info SERPs I have checked looked good post update.
and thats why this thread is so long.
Incorrect-- the answer is C.)
Why? If only you know the aglorythm, and can change it a will. You can shake the serps anytime you want.
Why is that important? Well, it's because you can threaten the income of every online business.
Why is that important? Well, it's because these people, once threatened, look for stability.
Why is that important? Well, it's because paid advertisements are stable, as long as you are willing to pay.
