New Google or Not.

Search results are still shocking.

Under my keywords in the top ten:

- 'You are not authorized to view this page'

- 'We will be adding more information in due course.'

- Pages with 2 lines of content and 115 lines of keywords.

This really upsets me. Why making good websites?
Everyone is just working for the search engines now. And all those websites look like @#*! Sorry for my language. Yes. Those websites have cross links, a high keyword density, and all other things Google loves so much. But quality site? Not at all!I, and some other webmasters are writing real content, making readable pages, make every page different, no mirror-sites.

But do we have a chance? Who is going to stand up for us? Googleguy! Where are you?

"The thing that bothers me is that if you optimize your site(s) for a particular phrase everyone starts yelling spam. If your site is about widgets, doesn't make sense to use that word in the text?"

Alternatively if you know that there are x number of searches for wodgets (a mispelling)or wudgets are you spamming when you create a page to reflect the mispelling? Of course not. That's just good design.

The same holds true for creating pages for common terms that your searchers are likely to use as long as the content is substantially different from the other pages. No cookie cutter or auto generated doorway pages. We certainly create ads for these terms for AdWords or Overture - why not intelligent SEO.

Hi fillow, I did a quick search in the spam report database and didn't see any reports with your nickname in the comments?

I submitted a spam report yesterday googleguy.

whole bunch of domains going

[____.keyword.com...] Every single domain is nearly identical and the only difference is the first line on the page is different.. I am seeing examples of this all over.

[GoogleGuy]

Cool--thanks markus007. I'll be curious to see if those domains would already be caught in the future or not. Just out of curiosity, did you mark it with a "dominic" or just your nick?

thanks,
GoogleGuy

GG-

just sent you spam report att to you, re dominic, from my nick

[GoogleGuy]

Thank you Clovis!

lots of hostile posts about this update, quite honestly im lost when it comes to the many new points of what has been/will be changed.

i do know i have a site that is way behind schedule due to a few badly timed shopping cart errors in reading the item descriptions, it turns out to be a blessing i suppose considering all the changes. hopefully waiting for all the dust to settle will give me time to gain more knowledge on what all the fuss is about and make the nedded changes.

best case scenario is wait it out, and keep the faith. thanks for giving us a direct link to "a person at google" GG. i happen to be one of the spam reporter / improved search results kinda guys. fwiw i think it helps.

Hate to be a 'tattle-tale' but couldn't resist sending in a spam report regarding the same issue (likely different site).
