I want to ask your opinion about that. It is supposed these sites doesn't vary their inbound links every day neither keyword density, etc. Why google change so much their positions? And why the first ones are fixed?
Thanks
My index page features a list of links to all my internal pages that contain "free widget plans." And for a long time I ranked poorly because Google thought my page was about "twisted wonky bananas."
It could be that google is taking the general opinion (from all those site scrappers) that your site is about twisted wonky bananas. Many probably not even listed in searches for their scrapping effort yet, so what you're seeing is age old.
Some pages that I have removed since half a year ago is still getting traffic from google daily, generally poor quality traffic that I had rather not have.
And with geo-targetting, I cannot even opt out of users from my country since I cannot sell anything to them.
Duplicate Content!
In my case it is because of the large amount of boilerplate on each page - mostly links to internal pages. They have turned up the knob very high. I tried to make it so there were no more than 2 clicks to get to nearly any page on the site
Also, there is a large change in serps that I see in my niche. In particular my site's business name (includes niche subject) is now showing at 15th, before it was not to be found. Scaper sites that have my company's name are no longer appearing at the top.
I suspect that the increase dup content filter will change a lot of serp positions.
New pages are not being added, old non-existent pages are not being removed. If this is an update, well..
From what I've seen, new pages are being added, but not as quickly as before. (I.e., a week or two for a page linked from the home page instead of a day or two.)
