Google Update Bourbon Part 3

My whole site has a new cache date of May 25th. Maybe once these other sites around me get recached, I won't hold such an honorable top position. But at least Google has found my pages worthy to sit in the Search again.:) It seems strange to look at the stats and see Google in there, after 6 months of just seeing Yahoo and MSN referrals.

My website has plenty of outbound links, but they are on relevant pages. The problem my site has always had, was a lack of "inbound links." I got tired of searching for people to link to me (with all the spammy sites around) and gave up. So my pages have acquired some links naturally I guess(and I'll bet I still don't have more than 30 inbound links for the whole site) Still have a PR4, which I've had since it disappeared in Nov.

I see now very stable DCs...

Anybody else see the same?

Not for my sites :(

Your keyword we discussed the other days looks stable though :)

Ps. Put two O in the first keyword on that page. Might increase the click throughs - unless it is a delibrate typo ;)

"I set it up that way for visitor navigation"

Yet this makes no difference. In order to rank well you must provide what is necessary in google's eyes to rank well. It is just a sad truth that cannot be escaped.

Don´t worry. The rotating algos shall bring them back again ;-)

Thanks. I don´t dare to change anything now on the said keywords. Shall do the change just after hearing the fat lady singing this evening :-)

Yet another change; once again, we're on page three for our branded site name for the "main Google". But if I check other datacenters, or Canada, we're still in # 1 position for that. So, definitely things are still moving.

You know, if we didn't rank for *any* pages at all, I'd say fine, the domain was banned, and that's that.

But I still have at least two pages that we're in # 3 spot for the keyword phrase. Mind you, they're small, not searched often and don't make us anything. But there we are. I think we had as many as 100 top ten results at one point - I never really tracked it that closely.

You want to laugh? There are at least 5 scraper sites that point to our articles, and I've had more traffic from these than Google yesterday.

Some slight variation. Top rankings have stabilized in my area. Still won't come up for company name. I guess I'll be sandwiched between the automated content dross and the red light district, until the next update. Maybe I'll find myself looking back to the good old days when I ranked as high as #145...

[MikeNoLastName]

PR bar is showing again for me.
No changes to any of my PR #'s that I can see... which is fine with me. The only question now, is why is our PR6 ranking down with the PR2's?

I finally see Pagerank!:D
No update, but just seeing the green line bring me happiness.

[Gerwin7]

I see a green bar, but the hover text is "n/a". I think the PR-update is not completed...

searching for yahoo on .com does not show yahoo home page for me, did not check the DCs though.

this hapens only with IE, a search using firefox shows yahoo home page in SERPS at N1.
