My rankings have also dropped significantly on those DC's
Formerly, one of my active pages had been labeled supplemental. It had two "//" between the domain name and the page.html (www.example.com//page.htm)
It really did not surprise me. That particular page was a direct copy off one of my other websites, albeit altered very, very little.
However, now it's showing a duplicate listing of the same page that is not a supplemental.
I hope that is a good sign, cuz I got the lazies and I don't feel like doing a rewrite!
Now, don't get on me for dups ... I know, I know. This is the only dup I have, so I hope it passes muster.
I have an older site ('97) dropping off the first page on these but a 2 month old site jumping straight to 2nd spot for some terms.
It says I only have 3 months to live
Damn Google :-)
What time zone is Matt Cutts in? What is the difference to GMT?
He's on Pacific Time, so it should be 8 hours behind GMT.
I think once again that they only want the reports to be sent in to help THEM with the Algo. and not to remove the spam.
Anyone else finding this issue the same way we are?
Many year old site is on page 5 in the SERPs in that DC for it's most popular term (had been #1, 2 or 3 for years)
What is the canonical fix exactly? What is it that you are seeing to determine that canonical URLs are fixed?
Say we have http://www.example.com/Music/12345.html for one of our pages, but Google sees another URL (that works also) for the same page http://www.example.com/MP3/12345.html - what is it that I am supposed to be worried about?
Why are the search engines worried about this to target it in their update?
I understand that we need to fix them, but dont quite understand how this update is targeting canonical URLs.
I have reported a few small spammers in US and they've been romoved.
I have been reported a MAJOR spammer (an SEO company, talking 100's of cloaking pages on 100's different domains) in France and they keep on shining with a PR7 and more client everyday. They NEVER get penalized and keep doing business everywhere, they even have an office in US now(lawsuits upcoming soon :) )
Dunno what to say, probably Google has a double standard - They remove what can't hurt them. For the one mentioned above it is so well known and obvious that I can't find another answer.
For the rest they might just get busy with spam reports like: "my competitor is #1 and I'm sure they are cheating because I am better than them" ...
