ok, enough crying ;-)
does anybody see the new results on yahoo?
I can see a very different set of results on yahoo, which look very nice, but I can't find them on any dc.
But they have to be somewhere, otherwise yahoo couldn't show them, couldn't they?
Or does their search point not to a dc but to something different?

"Its just semantics."Yes it is, and please don't talk down to me or anyone else just because you think we're not doing well in Google.
No it isn't, and it goes to the heart of the matter for some folks.
Using tactics the search engine does not look favorably on is NOT optimization.Yes but it goes like this
Things are constantly changing a little bit, even though the bedrock guidelines that Google lays out stay the same.Tell that to someone who followed the guidelines but just dropped from one to off the map. Googles bedrock is subject to liquefaction.
That is the $64,000 question. IMO.
Personally I would expect the English speaking Google to align with the other countries or the other way around - which one is closer to the final updated serps - who knows at this stage.
However, there is no gaurantee that they will align.
GoogleGuy very quiet these days...
Maybe this is what Joe Surfer really wants to see?
IMHO this is not segregating Commercial and Information sites.
>Where is GoogleGuy in all this? Does he hang out in the supporters forum these days?
I think if I was GG, I would wait until the rowdy natives calmed down a bit.
remember what they said during world war II?
Loose talk costs lives...
replace lives with websites and maybe we may be getting somewhere?
My point exactly, I am now working on beefing up my sites with "useless" information which is available on any number of other sites just in order to compete with the big portal sites. Google apparently discourages webmasters from doing something purely for the search engines but what else can we do if we are to survive?
Google are themselves contributing to the problem by creating a scenario where only large sites will be ranked.
the serps from google and yahoo still differs for me and i just noticed, that some of my KW shows pretty old results from 2003. anyone with the same probs?
Small sites can still compete, but it is worth mentioning again what one Google representitive said, suggesting building larger sites not lots of microsites. The brave new world is that people who bought a zillion domains to target a zillion words went and did something not useful. Domains with deep, rich content, that earn authority from a *wide variety* of sources seem to be, and should be, given a positive value in contrast to a web of microsites that serve to target keywords rather than user trust.
Complaining about large, high quality, comprehensive sites being at the top of the serps is not going to get a sympathetic ear from Google or the public. This is Google's homerun. Improving the authority of their serps, addressing some of its huge spam problems (that overwhelm other engines), having most of the "worst" of its serps simply be semi-relevant authoritative sites, they are now in great position for their IPO.
They certainly aren't "done" by any means, but the quality of serps in my main spamhell niche are honestly inspirationally better, which makes me hopeful that other areas that have had more problems will similarly be improved over the next couple months.
The results there are still very different.
I really hope this is not the new SERPs.
Of course it is commerce - The web has become 90% dominated by ecommerce. Google can't breath without affecting commerce. There aren't 10% of the searches any more where someone can't make some sort of money off the keyword. They can't change a period on a serp without affecting commerce.
>over optimization
Bovine Scatology. The #'1's on most of the kw's I follow are heavily optimized.
>finalized
Ready to call it done?

With Adsense make that 0%!
The original languages have been updated from the beginning and still are.

Although Atawolf example looks the same to me, how about trying these serps.
[google.de...]
[google.de...]
There are countless examples of this.
