Update Allegra - Google Update 2-2-2005

[illusionist]

My site which came back on december 26 update, seems to have disappeared again on this data center [216.239.53.99...] . Its notwhere to be found even in allinanchor, allintitle etc? I see majot change on that data center, is this a new update?

iProgram - I like what you wrote about the spy pushing the invert button. What better way to launch a half billion dollar guerilla marketing campaign than to muck up the top dog? But that would be too scandalously dangerous. Google's collapse this week must be just a happy coincidence for Microsoft, who will get more bang for their buck because of it.

I really think that eveyone needs to wait until this dancing is finished - give it a few days and relax - the datacenters are too different to make any judgements yet - a classic update with many people worrying way too early - after the weekend and a few good drinks then start looking at the effects - in the meantime:

Enjoy Mardi Gras and have a good celebration party

I agree marval but...

Tell that to the many many thousands of dollars of revenue that have been, are, and will be lost. (thank goodness not all eggs are in one basket).

Never had an update with this kind of effect on any site of ours. EVER. Sure we go up and down but nothing like this.

But there isn't much we can do about it. Just trying to make sense of what is happening. To better understand who is experiencing what and how. Nothing wrong with seeking more information. As far as complaining. It is useless.

BTW - Marval

CHEERS! Gotta have that drink now.

If it is was all good unique content, then I am very sorry for you. Some true hard working webmasters seem to be getting hit bad this time 'round.

Google has a seriosu problem in its hands. There's a new batch of sites missing every update. My site is back after many months, but at 25% of what I was getting before...

I really like the backlink update at 216.239.37.104

A bunch of garbage links have been eliminated!

Those links were made by unscrupulous webmasters to benefit from my sites, I guess.

There's been a lot of negative comments towards Google in this thread. However, I must say, by looking at the backlink update, Google rocks!

My site, which has been doing well for years, was nailed by this update. The strange thing is that some pages are still fine. A few of my week-old pages are doing very well for some pretty competitive terms. Other pages have gone down from #1 to #5 or so. Most have slipped out of sight.

I can't see a pattern. It seems random.

I am wondering if it is older sites which have recently added a lot of pages. Anyone else notcing large sites are being hit and small ones still doing well.

I noticed some of my long term compeditors that have been around for years got hit also. They have large sites as well as some big brand names. It is a shame for them as they are wonderful websites with tons of great on topic green information. I did notice some of my not so favorite spam junk compeditors are doing better than ever. Go figure.
