I was referring to the new spam trick of putting hundreds of kw jammed hidden text into the footer of your pages.
A common footer that has standard navigation elements should be fine.
Once in a while there is an update like the one in September, ya fall off the map for a month or two, but just keep going, build the site out, work on improving the copy for conversions not for the algo tweak of the month and rankings bounce back.
For moderate and low competitive words that generate higher conversion rates there's no need to get all stressed about it unless its some tom-foolery that got ya there in the first place.
Oh I dunno. I think people (dumb ones, average ones, smart ones and even the really smart ones) like Google because of its speed, comprehensive database and accuracy. For shopping, research or whatever. I use it for everything. ;)
The next thing is to be patient, because the update always takes a little while and sometimes things are in flux. Also, if you can put your site in your profile, some people might be able to offer better advice. ;)
ken72, it normally takes a few days for everything to settle down. When you see consistent results on all the servers for a day or two, things are probably finished.
Hope this helps,

if someone is doing that...then yeah..they should be bounced..thats kinda cheap and in my opinion very 90s... if it works..hey.. cool but its cheap! :)
Yea, itīs cheap and its soooo 90s. Altavista style is back!
;)
I'm STILL slammed and it sucks.
Rant over. Can we begin the - what now? thread already please?
Why do you think you are slammed? Did you try to "optimise" for the new algo? Do you still have spam sites with less inbound links before yours?
No, Iīm not, thatīs Mikel Jackson. Iīdo have a real interest on who is having problems, who is not, and why.
When I add the results to each other it gives pretty much the same number as before...
Is that possible that the final results still change for the next two of three days?
What is the meaning of the numbers in PRChecker results? Do they mean the position of the site in the first page of google results?

I'm talking about the PRChecker [or Google dance monitor thingie], it's a pretty cool application that gives you your site's ranking with regards to the keywords you specify...
For example: you give [yoursite.com...] and also a set of keywords in seperate lines to it (i usually keep the number of keywords less than 10) and it returns you the ranking in www, www2 and www3. (I'm not certain what those numbers are but I think they're very much related to the position of the site in the result page if it's in the first page). If your site is not among the first 100 results, it doesn't show you any numbers. It's very useful to monitor the progress of the site during the dance...

And,, um.. yes thanks to John316 for injecting so much humour into this thread...
I could only find one alt tag on the whole site. I am looking at the home page, are you looking at the homepage also, or another page?
InetMarketer, I'm looking at a page that starts with an underscore. One of the images is called buy-drug1-drug2-drug3-drug4-drug5-online.jpg, except with real drug names.
I'm off to a haunted house (Happy Halloween, everyone!), but I'll stop by in a few hours and check for other questions.
P.S. Have fun at the haunted house!
I don't mean to sound so negative but just wondered why this may be happening besides the obvious weight on backlinks.
