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.

The challenge for Google is how to downrank or filter scraper pages without whacking legitimate pages.I wish people would spend less time questioning Google's motives and more time questioning Google's methods.
Ditto that!
EFV,
Did your G traffic ever recovered after the 2 last carnage rounds?
Do you find your domain name is listed and linked from many scrapers?
Seeing how this update imposes severe penalties on legitimate sites, I would like to know if there is, in practice, something that might be referred to as 'Mistrust Rank.'
It is possible that the algo has applied negative 'Mistrust Rank' prior to applying the positive 'Trust Rank?'
In other words, are the sites that have been catapulted into the Purgatory have a snowball's chance in he** to rank again once Bourbon is over?
Well what can I say Google and Yahoo seem intent on squeezing every conceivable penny they can out of webmasters.
The sole purpose of a publicly held corporation is to increase share holder vaule. In fact they are legally obligated to do so. It would be a dis-service to their share holders to not make money at every opportunity... Making money is why they exist.

Yes, my rankings and referrals jumped back to pre-March 23 levels a week ago. Some of my rankings are actually better than they were before the plunge. (I'll admit that I couldn't help thinking "Oh, no!" when GoogleGuy said more changes are in store.)
Do you find your domain name is listed and linked from many scrapers?
Yes, and until a week ago some of the scrapers ranked higher for my site's name than I did.

Last I heard, Larry and Sergey still control the majority of the voting shares..... don't blame the pension funds!
<<my rankings and referrals jumped back to pre-March 23 levels a week ago>>
and your URL only p....ages?
Yes, my rankings and referrals jumped back to pre-March 23 levels a week ago.
That's good news!
There might be some light at the end of the tunnel after all. I just hope it was an auto algo adjustment and not hand edited by someone from G reading these threads.
Can't report the same but I’m still hopeful they'll fix it soon.
P.S.
Is your traffic back to normal levels you use to seeing since lets say Sep 2004 to around Feb 2005? you know the normal viewers daily count before the wiled up down fluctuations begun.
Google's stock is through the roof and they're making a killing as it is, they don't need to ban your site or my site to make more money. They're too young to pull those tricks and they don't need to. If their stock starts crashing and they're under pressure to make the expected revenue, then I guess one can speculate.
do you think it was a manual intervention?
1) stop my ad-words
2) stop my ad-sense
3) sell out my GG stock
I just want to tell google: We are in the same boat. We are not spamers. We are not scrapers. It's time for us to fight back!
