That is why I never watch them either.
But for some reason this one has made itself known to me.
I don't know if it is over yet and am not sure of what the end result will be.
However we run a content based site and have done our nav and layout for people to use. We have always been expanding our content collection and we wanted to do much more. This current update is going to slow down those plans. It is simply a matter of being able to pay for the work.
We can most certainly play the other game, up to and including buying links and creating a massive set of sites all on thier own IP addys and all registered to different entities.
claus,
I also understand what you are saying I've done a bit of that semantic matching although not on the scale that G would be doing it.
GoogleGuy,
If you are reading this, I'm also aware of how little it takes for one of these updates to get messed up.
If it helps any all of the S/E have problems and it isn't an easy thing to index and rank the thing known as the "net".
Just to attempt it is an amazing feat.
Good luck
They don't seem interested in the quality of my sites - I certainly don't intend to worry about the quality of their index.
uhmm...I never did. That's their job, not yours/mine.
Here's my problem with dropping from #1 to #70 overnight...
If the United States Federal Reserve Board started wildly fluctuating interest rates from 4% to 12% every quarter, with no explanation, the U.S. economy, and probably, the whole WORLD economy would go to pot.
You can't run a business without consistency. You do process A, it has result B. This is how a business grows. You try A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and then you put more money/time/effort into the one that gave you results.
If you start getting result F when doing A, and next time you get result Q from doing A, you eventually quit doing A because there's no correlation between A and it's result!
I recently changed servers (therefore IP addresses), but not my domain name. However, since Google is not open with their methods, I will never know if changing servers is the problem, or if I am a "victim" of a random algo change. How can someone run a web business if you don't know how A influences B?
I'm sure I'll get some interesting responses to this post.
You can't run a business without consistency.
If that's the case, it's your job to find ways to make traffic and earnings more consistent--e.g., by diversifying your sources of free referrals and running ads that attract prospects.
Google certainly isn't legally obligated to maintain a consistent level of free referrals. (At least, not in the U.S., where a federal court has ruled that its search rankings are Constitutionally protected "opinions" just like newspaper or magazine reviews.)
Doesn't G frown on manipulating link pop?
Let's see get a list of all google ip addys, serve them all blank pages, serve everyone else content.
Buy'em links.
Wait for next update .... boom #1 for all inbound link text keywords.
Let me see I remember some sites selling straight text links for reasonable amounts.
/me now finished reading Blackhat SEO for fun. Time to take the final test. How did I do?
Geesh, I kinda hope that one doesn't stick. I'd have to hire more people very quickly..hehe
Well, you know I belive in broadbased optimization. If I have a page getting more than 100 referrals a month on the same phrase - I try to change the page if I can.
I'd rather have 50 referrals total to 50 pages, than 50 referrals to 1 page.
