Update Saga. Part 5

[Brett_Tabke]

What say you?

Over and done with?

All done all through?

Waste of time sending spam reports - every kw I have is dominated by one site in the SERPS using pure blackhat spam - doorway pages, hidden text, keyword stuffing, redirects - it's so bad that on MSN, the company's web pages dominate the SERPS for about 4 pages with much of it irrelevent due to the way they kw stuff.
If even this site doesn't get taken down, while mine still appears to be penalised and in the wilderness when I have done nothing intentionally wrong - no blackhat at all, then what's the point?
It's so frustrating.

And this is where it ends. The mess that these persistent updates leave google in, turn the good guys into the bad guys. Why spend your life working on good fresh content aimed at giving the best information for searchers, when all that happens is you drop like a stone never to recover (so far) and you can't for the life of you figure where you went wrong?

My site disappeared down to the page 20's during the Bourbon update, to be replaced by sites that spam, cloak and steal my content - all the way to the top of the serps - and they are still there. I don't expect the divine right to be at the top of the serps. I do expect to outrank the spammers, cloakers and content thieves and I do in every other search engine. Way to go google

I see come changes on [66.102.9.104...]
Might worth take a look.

[Miop]

I don't want to look anymore - when the top SERP for allinanchor:kw returns 125 pages from its own site, I think I am going to give up.
Wherever they learned their technique, it must be worth a fortune!

[johnhh]

oh you are here

some useful results on [66.102.9.104...] but also some absolutely useless results as well for the KW followed

Guess it is still going on.

Am I right in thinking that J3 is now the same across all data centers. That's what I'm seeing but I only looked at some key words/phrases important to me.

" Am I right in thinking that J3 is now the same across all data centers"

No, I'm seeing differences. Not as big as before, but differences.

we currently have different results on 66.249.93.104 and 66.102.9.104 .

and its goodnight from me...

[Atomic]

I have noticed some directory sites slowly working their way down the SERPS on 66.102.9.104 for some keywords I watch. I would prefer seeing them disappear completely but that would indicate a human hand at work and not a better algorythm. Perhaps tomorrow they will drop to page 2. I can always hope.

[Atomic]

66.249.93.104 looks like J1 on it's last legs to me.
