Everything I have added to my site since January has disappeared

I am disgusted. The new Google update totally sc***ed my site!

I run a website similar to Snopes, collecting and commenting on Urban Legends and chain letters, in Hebrew.

Just before the March update, I saw that Google updated the index for my site every two or three days. So, I encouraged people to search Google for unique words in the Emails they get knowing they will probably find the source of the letter in my site with a discussion on its content.

Now, the last cached snapshot of my site is from January 9th.

All the content I have added to the site on the last two months is gone and cannot be found on Google. All the reputation of my site as being up-to-date is flushed down the drain! Maybe the next visit of the FreshBot will bring it all back but now I am skeptical.

Did anyone here had such experiences in the past?

Last November, Google.co.il also had some seriouse problems.

Good point...In fact maybe GoogleGuy may compliment my "confidential" marketting tools/analysis/methods.

Who knows they might put it off a day because I leaked it "kidding".

Nah seriously,

I strongly strongly strongly believe it is the 3rd/evening from all the studies Ive done. I spend 20hrs a day working behind a keyboard doing marketting analysis online etc for hundreds of websites. I work 20hrs a day doing this because I love it.

I know 20hrs a day is too much, please dont remind me. Im happy thats all that counts. And Im still not referred to as a nerd either hehe.

IF, I am wrong, then... then... I guess you guys wont pay me to do your marketting. If I am correct, maybe I will have some more people wanting me to market their website.

Never Know

You state earlier that you had inside info. Can you call it from your studies alone or is the inside info required?

"maybe I will have some more people wanting me to market their website."

And here we have the motive.
