New update ... language specific?

Classic Google?

I have re-attained my #1 position when searching for my keywords in virtually every other language version of google. (I am now #87 at google.com)...
www.google.it
www.google.de
www.google.fr

Please check your searches from the other language portals of google and see if you are back where you were.

Maybe I'm the only one, but it would be strange (and thought provoking) if only english language related searches have been affected.

Just to clarify - what exactly do you mean by language specific searches?
Local Googles usually show nearly identically results on the first option - search the web, as opposed to searching inresults from one language.

Forgot to say. You can also just add the language parameter when searching at google.com.

Do you search as normal. Once your results are displayed simply add any of the following onto the resulting querystring...

&hl=de
&hl=fr
&hl=es

Why should this make a difference?

Sorry.

To clarify. I am still searching "the entire web", not the "regional" results. The only difference is the language settings.

I have found very different results for my website. I can sticky you my search terms if you need them!

Sent you the search terms via sticky. Hope this clarifies my point.:)

I see what you're talking about, b4rney. I saw this however only on some travel related phrases.

Those differences are immense.
