Over and done with?
All done all through?
Is there anyone else out there who sees this too? Perhaps we can find a common link between all those whose serps have dropped.
No and neither are we.
We can tell something is not right.
Google has not treated my homepage and other sites I have looked at homepages as the root for ages.
Not 100% sure what it is due to - eg Canonical, Supplementals, 302 hijacks etc.
I have always suspected Canonical as GG (when he was able to talk more freely) has said that confusion in this area could cause that problem.
Not sure - it is obv. hard to know for exact why sites go like this.
On a related(ish) note - did you see this round up of Matts Coffee talk:-
[seroundtable.com...]
(OK mods - this link was posted in the officail Las Vegas thread and has survived so allowed?)
Anyway - the most intresting point regarding the supplemental/301/302 etc question was that Matt said they are testing on a datacentre - hmmmz wonder if it was the [64.233.179.99...] results we saw for a little while a week or so ago.

I think it has been a problem longer - the scrapers, malicious 302 linkers etc have made it more pronounced.

A non technical friend of mine did in the past all his redirects via meta refresh, no intent of doing anything harmful, black hat etc , just that was what he knew. I think G's main hurdle will always be to seperate the truly ignorant from the malicious. :\
G's task is truly near impossible imo .. How do you seperate human intent with an algorithm? Maybe bayesian might be a partial answer, but ultimately the fairest solution should be, if you know what you do with a webserver and HTML you should be high in the ranking. Then effort and knowledge would equal success.
Akhenaton what is a WP page?
You'll find out if it comes to a SERP near you ... :D
