So how was the google update for you ? - GoFuckYourself.com

DarkJedi · 02-15-2004, 04:38 AM

It's finished, right ?
I see some big changes in the ranks.
I did semi-good. Some sites moved up, some sites moved down.

What do you know about this update ?
How did you do ?

i cant really complain

marttali · 02-15-2004, 04:42 AM

stemming and synonyms in action !
I bet soon there will be no more optimising for single keyphrase, natural and normal writing wins !

lock · 02-15-2004, 04:43 AM

was mental i had urls from all over the pointing at xxxtop1000.com will have to do some searches now and work out whats pointing where.

stemming and synonyms in action ? what do u mean?

klik · 02-15-2004, 04:44 AM

im finally in the top 10 for a few of the search terms i've been aiming for lately.

i'm not very good with seo.. just playing around a little bit..

sicone · 02-15-2004, 04:46 AM

i didnt do so good, last time i got ranked 4th, now i cant even findmyself in the first 4 pages

i quit

lock · 02-15-2004, 04:47 AM

good with some sites not good with others sites that match content for name did well tho.

KRL · 02-15-2004, 04:55 AM

Sweet!!!!!

Got moved to Page 1 four sites from the top for our humor site.

marttali · 02-15-2004, 04:57 AM

I think google tries to eliminate abnormal optimisation.
It's not really normal to use certain phrase like 100 times per page. So synonyms come into play. No more easy manipulating.
Have you seen any book or newspaper which repeates the same phrase over and over, i haven't. They try to find synonyms.

Stemming - widget=widgets=widgeting

Aussie Rebel · 02-15-2004, 04:59 AM

Yep kicked ass with quite a few good spots

sexsup · 02-15-2004, 05:09 AM

Not bad not good for me

Rorschach · 02-15-2004, 05:31 AM

I got raped

but that's par for the course really.

I sailed through Austin while a whole bunch of people in my serps got done, but those pricks at Google nailed me on this one.

Ah well, just have to come back bigger, better and badder.

slapass · 02-15-2004, 07:19 AM

I have been doing better and better. Then this one. I got some great terms but over all I think my traffic will take a hit.

slapass · 02-15-2004, 07:20 AM

I also read that it won't be live until this week per GoogleGuy.

frank7799 · 02-15-2004, 10:09 AM

Some old pages listed which aren´t existing any more.

macker · 02-15-2004, 10:10 AM

Much better than last time.

dunefield · 02-15-2004, 10:13 AM

It's on the Google Bar. Just hold your mouse over Page Rank and it will display it.

dunefield · 02-15-2004, 11:06 AM

my website only has a pagerank 3/10

Tipsy · 02-15-2004, 11:07 AM

I'll let you know when the update's actually finished.

Trax · 02-15-2004, 11:14 AM

a poll about this wouldnt have been bad

mardigras · 02-15-2004, 11:27 AM

If the update is finished all of my sites stayed where they were.

Smokey The Bear · 02-15-2004, 11:32 AM

Google is insane..

they put my worst spammy additions on top and plunged all my legit pages to the bottom of the heap. LOL

Overall my traffic will stay almost the same, so it doesnt really bother me.

GonePhishing · 02-15-2004, 11:35 AM

It was good to us!

xxxjay · 02-16-2004, 02:58 PM

went well for me

still seems like the index has not settled yet

AmeliaG · 02-16-2004, 04:15 PM

Almost disturbingly awesome. Even sites with no metatags which were low down on my to-do list moved up.

Metatags don't matter with Google, hun.

pussyluver · 02-16-2004, 05:21 PM

Well it was a kick in the ass here. We enjoyed some sweet placement before the latest re-index. They are still slapping us around from page 1 to not listed on sore important keywords.

I don't think Google is finished yet as the title listed is our old one (changed about two weeks ago).

This kick in the backside is causing us to be more aggressive about what we should have been doing all along.

We also took a hit on PR ? PR5 to PR4. We quickly responded with the things you do to up PR. It will take a bit for Google to really beware of our efforts.

Well there is one or two - the noindex or robots.txt. If you screw up the robots.txt file, you screw your self.

AND if the syntax is wrong on the noindex or none -- Google will assume noindex, follow. The documentation says this meta tag IS CASE sensitive. Don't know if I believe that?

fusionx · 02-16-2004, 06:39 PM

when I do link:www.18pluspics.com, only about two links outside of my site show up.

WTF? I was showing several pages last time I looked.. galleries, mostly..

PR hasn't changed though.. yet...

Ah, I was assuming she was talking about metatag descriptions and keywords.

gornyhuy · 02-16-2004, 07:26 PM

BTW, PR was not affected this weekend... the index changes and PR changes are on different schedules (according to googleguy)

Killed it on most of my sites. Should be another good couple of weeks I think.

BlackCrayon · 02-16-2004, 08:11 PM

pr went down a notch on some sites but thats all i can tell so far.

SomeCreep · 02-16-2004, 09:06 PM

Good, I'm starting to see some adult sites get their listings back, which had previously been replaced with health/news sites.

Basic_man · 02-16-2004, 09:10 PM

doornx · 02-16-2004, 09:10 PM

I don't think they did a PR update this time around? Non of my sites seemed to of changed.

Terenzo · 02-17-2004, 01:39 PM

those free sites foating on top everywhere are bad, i liked mine a lot more. though, for the surfers google turned to good.

- AFN - · 02-17-2004, 01:44 PM

I made google my bitch of coz

#4 on my main keyword and #1 on Several others.
