Bing uses google results as part of their own algo and yahoo is powered by bing. There are some minor differences on how they handle domain age, flash and things like that... but if you optimize properly for one... you already did optimize for the others. :2 cents:

Google doesn't owe anyone anything, and they can do with their users as they please, just like we all can with our sites. Play by their rules, or don't play at all. |

You're right they did pay for massive backlinks but doesn't that go against Google's wishes? Isn't that what they are trying to weed out? The ability for entities to artificially inflate their popularity? As for content, many affiliates have their own which may include videos but also images, text (stories etc.) and forums so that the content is unique and something that surfers want that tubes don't necessarily have. I do agree that they have tons of backlinks and timeonsite stats and in my opinion that's why they rank so high. I also think that when google does shake things up this much that they don't always know how it's gonna turn out and tweak and tweak some more until many sites (affiliates included) regain their traffic. There are LOTS of mainstream sites that are hurting too which are not necessarily affiliate sites (read the WM forum). ... |

focus on making the best sites ever :)

Focus on writing for surfers and quality content in general and search engines, including Google will respect your site over the long haul. I do agree focussing on the quick SEO tricks is dumb and will have you chasing your tail. No traffic source is 100% under your control including media buys, ppc etc.

Some tweets and shares won't get you those high authority links in your niche. You need to put some hard work in it or pay well. |
Biggest problem here is that google relies on a lot of manal assesment for link farms, if you can make them with more people than google have on the case, job done. People think too small, and I mean small = teams of 12. You need a few hundred people on the case building sites. Content mangers, project managers, writers, bloggers, content companies, quality assement teams, writers, pseudo journalists and google+ circle bloggers. Go G++ and the love will flow. you really think that some mainstream companies are not spending $50k a month on this shit?

Oh, and a GA prem account helps (lol) but sites that when you look at them, and I really mean look at them and your links you have , and I hope the href target is only on brand, but you think to yourself, does that look real? or does it look like a splog.
You have to look at those and think, hmmm, that actually is a real site written by a fan , or a site that loves the niche etc. If you don't, a google drone boy will be making the same call. |
google keeps sending me more and more traffic everyday. I LOVE GOOGLE!

The more affiliates trading traffic the less control google has.
