Did google just lose it?
 

Starting about 1 hour ago I noticed strange results in google... HEAVILY ranked shit videos, break, youtube, etc. are inundating the pages.

Did a search and found this article...

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10242104-93.html

The change was to occur today and low and behold... today the results are way out there. Not for the good!!

Anyone notice this with their searches or existing rankings?

I just checked a couple and everything still seems the same on my end.

Not seeing it either, but wasnt youtube pushed uptop since google had shares?

That article is about paid advertisements, why would that affect organic results?

Has nothing to do with organic search... this is all adwords trademark crap. So now I can advertise in AdWords and use a trademark name when I advertise. Yawn.

Don't think it should but was the only change I found specific to starting this month.

There are a ton of articles out there about significant changes occuring last month, etc.

My question was not intended to focus too much on the article. Just if others have noticed strange, irrelevant results showing on their searches just recently? So far that is not the case...

nope nothing

There are some changes!!! I notice something .... hmm

something big is definately going on with goog today.

not sure

the site I was checking google position on was jumping around like a pinball today... it seems to have stopped and resettled in it's original position now.

I know lots of changes were implemented last month to try and prevent black hat techniques...

If anything it would be them in response to the Bing launch, but I have no idea what that would entail. If Bing is borrowing from Google results like some are saying, perhaps they're crapping their own results up so that everyone trying Bing for the first time sees crap results and goes back to blindly using Google.

so they come back to crap google results? that makes no sense.

stick with the simple: just a bigger algo move than usual.

still shuffling... anybody else notice?

yeah all over the place. something is going on.

of course those with no real rankings feel free to pontificate as usual.

I saw a post last week about google shuffling and results for OP was good... I'm wondering how this is going to settle...

yeah been crazy a couple days - made some gains and some losses - we'll see how it settles. good luck anyway. :)

i'm surprised this hasn't been discussed more... it's still movin and shakin

I see the same as usual, not sure what are you talkin' about

i'm gonna bump this cuz others are realizing HUGE drops in serps...

yes google changed mad algorithms... and no... an SEO consultant will not get you back on track

chaotic google seprs is the new normal. don't put all your eggs in the same basket.

My google bounce rates are much higher (+18% and up) than bing and yahoo. Has anyone else noticed this?

Is google at the point where they are over optimizing?

im not worried too much... but...

google is giving (or wanted to) give priority to companies that paid for publishing. It put a big fuck on everyone's serps including mine.

That is the latest google change gives priority to sponsors...

Mine went to fuckin outerspace...

It will come back because the change sucks ass... I said this at the change... june 1st... now you see the outcome

I have a shit load of 401 and 404 traffic for pages that dont even exist anymore. Redirects

where is the guy who molests google when ya need him? ;)

Guys using ST for their TGPs are reporting DRAMATIC serp downgrades :helpme

Bing is definitely WAY more forgiving than Google http://www.highrevenue.com/seo/searc...bing-vs-google

It has nothing to do with ST... Google just sold out... read my initial post

i'm just drinking a can of stella.
