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

Heyas,

I've noticed changing values on several pages and went to double check it. I'm seeing different PageRank numbers coming from the 216.239.37.104 datacentre.

It's the only datacentre, so it might be experimenting or a revert back. Who knows.

I am trying to improve my position with some competitive keywords. I have experienced first positions never change their status while sites on the after 10th position vary change daily. My site vary their position from 8 to 18 every day.

I want to ask your opinion about that. It is supposed these sites doesn't vary their inbound links every day neither keyword density, etc. Why google change so much their positions? And why the first ones are fixed?

Thanks

Chuck Norris, it hasn't been my observation that first positions are more fixed those below it.

Getting back to the "shuffling" I continue to see 3 different sets of results across the data centers.

Using my site name as keyword, the Google directory page with my listing continues to hog first place in the SERPs.

My index page features a list of links to all my internal pages that contain "free widget plans." And for a long time I ranked poorly because Google thought my page was about "twisted wonky bananas."

It could be that google is taking the general opinion (from all those site scrappers) that your site is about twisted wonky bananas. Many probably not even listed in searches for their scrapping effort yet, so what you're seeing is age old.

Some pages that I have removed since half a year ago is still getting traffic from google daily, generally poor quality traffic that I had rather not have.

And with geo-targetting, I cannot even opt out of users from my country since I cannot sell anything to them.

I have settled on a single issue as to why my site is 50% url-only now.

Duplicate Content!

In my case it is because of the large amount of boilerplate on each page - mostly links to internal pages. They have turned up the knob very high. I tried to make it so there were no more than 2 clicks to get to nearly any page on the site

Also, there is a large change in serps that I see in my niche. In particular my site's business name (includes niche subject) is now showing at 15th, before it was not to be found. Scaper sites that have my company's name are no longer appearing at the top.

I suspect that the increase dup content filter will change a lot of serp positions.

Supplemental results stays in their index for a very long time. You can change it any way you want, it will be the same.

New pages are not being added, old non-existent pages are not being removed. If this is an update, well..

From what I've seen, new pages are being added, but not as quickly as before. (I.e., a week or two for a page linked from the home page instead of a day or two.)

I added 150 new pages that were cached and indexed in less than 24 hours last week.

EFV,

Did you have any increase in url-only pages with this update?
