Google acting weird last couple of days?
 

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.

they've been up to strange stuff for weeks

and some of the stuff they put up there on top are shit

even official sites are sometimes dropping like flies

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.

:(

apart from the search engine google has got to big for its boots! don't get me wrong, i still use them for all my searches and i would love to be No1 postion but i hate they're attitude and the way they've got a figure in ever pie!
quickly becoming the next microsoft in the "most hated company" catagory!
totaly forgotten there roots! :2 cents:

tony

agree word is born

same - lost lucrative number one spot friday - is now off the radar - :(

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.

from the influx of cloaked pages, fake traffic hits

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..

:)

i fell for the april fools

don't use them, so

??? :error

yeah. Google results get worse by the week.

did they implement I new update or what?

jeezus, have had number 1-3 spots for over 6 months on "marketa belonoha", now that page is on spot 305, how the fuck did this happen ???

Is google just dancing?

same exact thing happened to be me a few weeks ago. Sucks when you lose that income out of nowhere. But that is the SE game.

that is what i am thinking also.

it's been on my mind lately...

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?

Maybe someone found how to hack it?

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.

seems the less a page has to do with something, the higher it scores

content is dead or what :helpme

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??

bump bump

google still out of wack

oh, google rocks ;)

the majority of the google staff are in china at the moment for a week or 2.

might have something to do with it......all countries where they have offices are affected by this.

when has google ever been normal?

I have started to not use google :error

Google's porn serps got raped when Jagger hit but with this Big Daddy update it's gotten even worse.

Since Dec, 27th, 2005 my site dropped 500 places for many keywords and spam has ruled the adult serps:disgust .

M$ is going to rule the rest of 2006 and into 2007

damn, that's some drop

okay, my normal competitors (Coolios, FreeOnes, Glam0ur, ModelShrines, Badgirlsblog) seem to have the same problem, they are grouped with my sites.

Damn, even wikipedia couldn't stand it's ground

:helpme anybody know already what's going on, I mean it's seams people have better results, if they publish a page with 200 random words

the serps are really awful
