What say you?

Over and done with?

All done all through?

>>>has solved my problem of duplicate content [mysite.com...] versus www.mysite.com

Yes - OK - but I have had a site that has had that fixed and still do not come back.

Maybe the sandbox effect - but the site does not come back until G recognizes that it is the main page from the site - eg site:www.domain.com www.domain.com = www.domain.com being top.

This comeback seems very slow or maybe even impossible or a fluke for the ones that do come back.

Dayo don't loose the hope,who knows maybe it will maybe it won't .I believe that old pages with good linking have big chances to make a come back in future.

64.233.179.99 is a real fix on the non www issue and supplemental results, but not finished yet.

I also think there has not been a real update on that DB and the hurt sites are also not ranking, but that will come after the PR has come back, still its just a test DB, but there are REAL hope now.

I have not lost hope.

It is just that if the non-www/www situation appears to be fixed on a site - that site may still struggle.

It is like all of the power on the home page has gone. (Hence my Homepage PR0 - Internal pages with PR)

[zeus]

Dayo - when the non www is fixed, you have to wait for the PR to be back and if the worst have to happen you will get in the sandbox, because you already have existing links to your site, which will then look unnatural for google.

I think the backlinks will again get a update within 1-2 month and if they use some of the fixes from the test DB, it could be a great day.

[JuniorOptimizer]

It makes sense, Dayo_Uk. They probably need to do a backlink update to the corrected address before you rank.

This is probably nothing, but as I thought I was under a dupe content filter penalty, I'll mention it - (non-www/www issue fixed now).
G seems to be paying a lot of attention to the title tags for me. I used to use #*$! widget from xxx company in the title - I started removing the 'from xxx company' in order to reduce the similarity between the pages. Where G has picked up those changes, the pages are ranking much better than the ones which still say xxx widget from xxx company. (it's taking me ages to change them as we have 3000 widgets and 30 sections!)

Just thought I'd mention it in case the title tag is playing a part.

if that is the next basis then link farms are gonna be making a comeback along with webrings ..

old irrelevant overbloated page count and easy to game

seen it before

[tigger]

just checking some keywords on .co.uk and I'm now finding GB's ranking higher than some sites - this really is just daft, in fact one I've just checked had 3 GB's in the top 20

Assuming GB = Great Britain, why wouldn't you expect them to index higher in .co.uk listings?
