    anyone seeing some weird action with their listings the last 4 days?

    a lot of my number 1 spots are dropping like hell, haven't seen anything like this happen for the last 2 years.

        Yeah, a lot of changes are happening. A lot of good site with relavent information have disappeared. Webmasters on other mainstream boards have been complaining that their SERP has gone to Google hell.

        Search engine spammers are ahead of the game right now.

          I lost my best #1 spot ever a few weeks ago.

          I'm just a newbie.

                  yeah and it's not like they drop a couple of places, more like 40 spots sometimes

                    I added a couple of my mainstream sites to Google's sitemap beta the other day. One of the features is that it shows you top search results for your site. One site that has been stable for years (PR6, 4-5 years old) had keywords listed as top 10, but I couldn't find them anywhere in the first couple of results pages. The other site was spot on.

                        well one thing for sure , google certainly isnt lowering their relevency to try and push more clicks through google adwords so they make more money..

                                            true true, but used to loose from better pages, not crapier ones, weird thing is that some of my crapy pages are now scoring higher than my high content pages

                                              seems torrent sites have gotten a boost

                                              what the fuck is google doing?

                                                  too many different sites for that

                                                  also, most of the sites I'm used to competing against also have dropped

                                                    Exactly. I've had some spirited battles over the last few months exchanging top positions with a couple of sites I'm competing with, but if this latest "update" sticks it pointless to continue working those domains.

                                                    When I checked to see what replaced me I found TGP galleries, redirects and virus-laden pages had taken the top spots.

                                                      When I checked to see what replaced me I found TGP galleries, redirects and virus-laden pages had taken the top spots.
                                                      seems the less a page has to do with something, the higher it scores

                                                      content is dead or what

                                                        So google bragged it was improving the quality of its results.

                                                        Well slap my fanny with a wet kipper!

                                                        these are the most spam ridden and most irrelevant serps i`ve ever seen.

                                                        Maybe somebody pushed the wrong button for the filter lol

                                                          indeed, kind of glad that it's happening not only to me, so it's nothing personal

                                                          but damn, 2 months ago the whole Perfect10 DMCA bullshit, now this, what will come next??

                                                                                                i think its fairly obvious they are making their results worse for certain terms that they can drive lots of traffic to the google adwords on the sides.

                                                                                                If you click the top 5 links for "lesbian porn" and none of them have lesbian porn , you are certainly more likely to click the ad on the right , thus google makes money , they dont make money off you finding what you want on the regular results..


                                                                                                But hey they would never do that because it would make their search engine crappier right ?

                                                                                                I think the crappiness of the results seems to be in direct correlation to the advertising rates on the google adwords ( for certain things )

                                                                                                i.e. higher the cpc , lower the relevency.. . i think they figure , even if you use the google adwords you are still finding what you want right.. so you will still come back to google.. as long as they lower their relevency in respect to the amount of competition for that keyword on google adwords the results will still be fairly relevent ( if you include adwords )
