best google update EVER
 

For me anyway.

It only took 3 years - and this is my 1000th post

YAY

Hoo-Ray!

Yeah you've got some nice listings, grats :thumbsup

I don't really pay attention to Google. It's a nice bonus to get some SE traffic but I'd hate for my income to depend on it.

thanks man

huh :helpme

Damn, that makes one of us. Congrats Jay :)

It was the best update for me too. Good times. :)

Wow, I depend on it and can't imagine my income without it.
WG

worst one

yeah - i would be toast as well

you da google man :thumbsup

traffic down about 3-4% for me... Wouldn't have even known it had updated it hadn't read it here :)

Congrats. You have some great keywords.

It wasn't the "florida" update - less hype.

Speculation is that it was just as harsh in some ways... Lots of gnashing of teeth out there.

I didn't even notice my PR dropped until YOU pointed it out to me Jay.. :waaaaahh

Worst for me - please use Altavista!!

lost a few good spots, but somehow picked up a top spot for a mainstream keyword that could have me knee capped.

I made out pretty good on the new update, I lost a point on several of my tgp's but I gained 2-3 points on several of my previously pr0 sites, all in all my traffic and sales are up since this last update

google have brought back some of my .biz spam it knocked on the head with florida.
I love google but i dont give a shit whether they drop me or not.
There is enough traffic with the other search engines to earn a comfortable living.
:winkwink:

i would use it if i could find something on it

stop sleeping with googlebot damn you

I wouldn't get to comfortable with google if I was you..

Shit is starting to hit the fan

Jay knows his shit... he's consistently hovering over my results. I'm always seeing his site #1 where I'm between 2 and 5. So I make sure I'm sending my pages to different sponsors

funny how some people swear by google, and some people wipe their ass with it. I notice a good number of hits from it - but it seems to be in waves. One day I will have a bunch - then just a few, then a bunch. Its like a fucking rollercoaster

worst google update

Thanks man .

For those of you who are frustrated - you have to roll with the punches when it comes to google traffic. You have to be in it for the long term, and count the the folks at google will throw a wrench into you plans once or twice a year.

SE Kung Fu requires years or practice and dedication.

Congrats, I thought I was slow at getting there

I disagree.i spammed myself to the top in less than 2 months and have sites still at the top after 8 months.
When 1 site goes another takes its place.Google likes Jayslinks at the moment because authority sires are in and you have many inbound and outbound links coming from many servers.You have optimised the page without overdoing it and all credit to you.
But a good network can duplicate that in 3 months not 3 years.
The real heros IMO are the ones who donot rely on searchengine traffic.Sites like the hun that are built on word of mouth.
:2 cents:

congrats jay,

just want to add that i'm seeing now goole results from 6 months ago anybody else?

How much traffic you got ?

Well, I'm not quite sure this shit is over.
Go to any non-English Google regional and you will see totally different search results.

Are they testing various filterings? Why haven't the Google regionals been updated to match US Google?

Were they so unsure about Austin they decided to have a backup incase the results were too shitty (as they indeed are...)?

The regional Google results have new sites processed, so it's not some old junk they've thrown up.

I heard him mention 70k a day in another thread. Must be making a killing.

You're contradicting yourself. Getting a top placement in Google takes time and effort, hence the top listings by xxxjay because he has an "expert" site.

One of the real heros are people like him that actually took the legit way out and it paid off.

I can't see where I am contradicting myself.
I can get google to believe that a site is an "expert" site within 2 months.
There is not a" legit way"and a 'not a legit way".
Its all in the eyes of the beholder and as far a google is concerned they are as fickle as the wind so what might be legit today is spam tomorrow.
i am not belittling Jay's hardwork and achievement,I am just disagreeing with him about the time span needed to get great traffic from google.
Contrary to what most believe,SEO is not rocket science

congrats on the traffic btw.. :) SE love is real.. When you have it it's a beautiful thing, when it's gone things can look pretty bleak.

you bet :'-)m I'm getting many new fans now.... but also more spammers on some terms

Yeah, i'm kinda cool with the last update too.
Sites stayed at the top and other sites got un-banned
:glugglug

Congrats Jay.
Now check your ICQ :)

Yes, I also noticed you got some good listings for various keywords ... lucky guy ...

swami - Yes, it is easy to spam the search engines with shitty jump pages. I've done it before. I know all about cloaking, dynamic spider delivery, and about a zillion other shady ways to get top listings, but I don't agree with you on your defininition of "hero". Yes - it is possible to dominate the SERPs for serveral months at a time through spamming techniques, but once you have gotten your spam hit from surfer - that's it...you're done.

Spam SE pages may take some of my good rankings from time to time, but every so many months the spam is purged and I will take my listings back.

Most importantly: When a surfer finds Jays XXX Links on google - they will think - "Hey this is a pretty cools site....", bookmark it, and come back. They will *NEVER* do that with one of your spam warning pages.

For whoever commented on the "word of mouth thing" - well that seems to be working out for me too:

My #1 refferer of traffic is direct requests / bookmarks.
:)

Yes - I get around 70K a day average (this is only one of the 100+ sites that I operate), I do make a killing, and I just paid cash for a 37K Ford Expedition today...not only am I hero on two counts - I'm a mutha fucking gangsta!

Ok -- enough with the ego shit - I was want to conclude by saying that "I disagree".
