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?

Watching data centers do their thing is like watching grass grow ... and it looks as though you guys are expecting one humdinger of a crop! ;)

WebFusion,
I think you might be missing the point about why someone might watch this very closely. I have learned a lot about google this last week. You get a chance during these updates to look a little under the hood of google.

But I understand what you are trying to convey and you are dead on.

The data centers above have great looking serps on the keywords I monitor....The impossible dream?

Im out of all the DCs. I guess that this ain't good. I had 4 wonderful days though.

plus all those DC have the same number of results like the official .com and .co.uk

Webfusion,

Agreed, I myself got a bit carried away with this one :)
(perhaps I am having flashbacks)

But in all fairness this is the only update I have seen (or can remember) where the SERPS looked so bad (on certain terms and urls).

But your point is one that I myself sometimes preach :)

just had a response to my complaint about the site not showing for company name, I have been told it shows under: www.mysite.com, oh really!?

I guess i should just give up my browser and use google for web addresses.

[glitterball]

To be honest the results for the keywords that I watch don't look very different.
Only thing that I noticed is that one of my sites is completely gone.

I know everyone keeps saying "google doesn't owe me a living" etc.
However, I think that if you own a trademark and that trademark is also your domain name and google decides to stop listing you for that trademark, then if Google is also selling Adwords to your competitors for that trademark then it is time to go to the Lawyers.

Odd - 2 low key KW's ive owned for some 4+ years, and Im suddenly #3(was way lower over the weekend) and off the charts for the other one on G, but still #1 and #3 in every DC above.

May be hope for me yet :) - either way back to work I go

Hi

Could someone help answer a question regarding the google update..

I run a small ecommerce site and before the update had some decent rankings, but has now dropped way down I can't even find it.

I noticed when checking a keyword phrase that a particular site (shopping directory) is ranked but with my site details and when clicked redirects to my site! I checked other keywords and the same thing. So I checked my current affiliates and there is was, it's a new affiliate since 24th Jan.

As I don't know much about SE, would google think my site is a duplicate and penalise it?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks Neil
