What do you intend to do now you've lost the Google love?

No one seems to be any closer to resolving the current Google flux/bad data push/glitch/whatever it is and it would seem as though it is here to stay.

If you are certain nothing is wrong with your site(s) and you are still being "penalised", what will you do next/recommend to clients/suggest?

Insofar as Google.co.uk is concerned I have recommended to my clients that the UK hosted .com brochure site be reconstructed on a .co.uk name.

I am not recommending a 301 for it until the new site is established.

What are you/your clients considering?

Just today there are some new reports of people seeing their rankings restored in Google.com SERP Changes - July 2008 [webmasterworld.com]. So there is hope.

It's always good to diversify, and not to depend on one source for business survival. But Google organic search is such a driver that it can be difficult to pay attention to diversifying when there's no urgency. These latest changes have certainly brought that urgency to some web businesses.

- assume our sites can be improved and keep working on them , digging and delving for new angles on what can be done.

- never assume it's a Google's problem , sitting back may not help

- accept Google for what it is - an unsustainable business source [ in the context of a business exists upon it's sustainability only ; otherwise you don't have a business

- do all you can to diversify away from SEO [ not easy when you've been tempted by it's success' and become reliant on it]

- rock up to the Google plex in thousands with banners demanding effective communication with Google [ seriously , keep encouraging our good friends at G to improve methods of communication so that we can be better at supplying the content they want and the exposure that siteowners want ]
