Not enough changes to be an update.

hi to all off google watchers

I see a huge changes in google serps across all the google datacenters in europe and asia but US serps are the same...

A few of my site goes up and a few goes down

Did you see the same changes?

Thanks

Same here...glad most of my traffic are direct hits, but it is the principal of the thing.

Before panic breaks out: bear in mind that the G folks like to do internal index updates/shuffles in PR order. Your page might come back later because it has a higher PR.

I hope you're right - I've got comparatively high PR for my niche. Maybe that's it - give me some hope - but why would my site be completely gone?

Sounds exactly like what happened to a site of mine a couple months ago. The top 30 sites are all sites that link to mine ...

That's exactly the same problem I see with my shareware site. Searching for the unique (long) phrase that is the program's title, about 25 sites are listed that link to my site before my site is listed. Something's broken. Did they accidently start applying PR backwards?

I've seen major changes. I've also noticed that while previously, if I searched for widget, I would get lots of sites returned with "widget" highlighted in the descriptions, I am now getting sites returned with "widget", "widgeting", "wid" [whole word], "widgeter", "widgetness", "widg" [whole word], etc., highlighted in the descriptions.

Folks

Can any of you who was affected by allegra see any boost in Google traffic? and can you see some of the pages that lost top positions on the serps by allegra regaining positions to some extent?

It could be the loss of pr is a result of the prior dumping, rank down grading, and resulting Alexa down grade, which began to spiral downward, a couple months ago...even gradually.

It takes a while for the full effect of the first downgrade to trickle through all levels of the serps management. As a rule, we call it three months.

That would take us back to Feb, when many webmasters seen wild changes in their serps. We were one of them. We hunkdered down to fight off what we knew would take place 3 months later, and came out on top this time around. If you wait three months to realize the big picture, it will take you another 3-6 months to recover the losses.

Act now to save Q4.

Do you have recommendations, janethuggard?

Further to my previous post (msg #:96), I'm going to make a prediction before hitting the bed.

Sites which were negatively affected by allegra (3rd Feb 2005) and didn't wait but instead made major cleaning as to removing 302 redirects, duplicates, light SEO work etc.. shall be rewarded by this "Minor Shuffling".

Under the singular "widget" iy site appears with its description tag as its snippet.

Under the plural term "widgets" it appears with the DMOZ description as its snippet.
