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?

but, then again ive never worked harder to achieve them.

does this mean when the dust settles and every pi**ed off person here gets there results back, mine go for a burton?

by the way, Walkman, im actually listening to a band right this minute called the Walkman! Freaky

Single layer menu, pages outside the menu structure also affected.

Some pages with, some pages heirarchical, some flat, all equally affected.

- changed rightnav.asp (global change for the site) just when Allegra started updating

We changed only a link and background to match season.

- Used to get about 2,000 Google visitors per day, now get about 25 a day.
- I found a duplicate site at www.excite.co.jp

Nothing special.

- I have a Commission Junction affiliate ad in the left nav on every page.

None

- Adsense on every page (Adsense $ dropped considerably post Allegra)

Some pages

SERPS are still not stable for me either. Maybe this is the new strategy. Make the SERPS completely random and unpredictable, then they will be harder to optimize for. ;)

This data center has what I recently saw and what I expect [216.239.39.104...]

this [216.239.37.99...] is showing some terrible stuff ( for me )

The interesting thing ( to me ) is that both have updated the pages with my recent deep crawl on the 6th and 7th and I am seeing my new pages on both.

Are there any conclusions to be drawn from that?

Is it safe to say that the update is an algo change only not a change in the data being used?

I am a black hut SEO and I am happy to say that because that's the way I can survive financially against the big fish.

...and will the next spammer please stand up.

YAWN.

I love it when people make statements like "the only way to compete is to cheat".

Vabtz,

The two datacenters you mention are showing serps in my area as they existed before this update started. If those are where it settles out, this update has been for nothing. I hope that's not the case, Google referrals are up 45% yesterday.

Google does not improove the picture of USA instead it makes it worst

i just had a call from my son ,he told me that in his college they have change the default search engine from google to MSN.co.uk.does that tell you something?

Maybe the college's IT manager is moonlighting with a string of scraper sites that got nuked by Google? :-)
