A big google update rolled out yesterday

[Calss]

That must explain why my spamiest black hattest site of all got a 3x traffic boost

My phone rang yesterday, angry customer. Squeaky clean white hat site down 40% traffic.

LOL thanks Google

Wow Google!
No more doubts about getting that RankerX now.
Actually just yesterday I was checking a website in my niche born the same year as mine, with 4k spam links and bad design, no content, but getting 10x traffic.

Big brands + spam

That seems to be the SEO recipe for Google's artificial intelligence.

as we all agree the rules of seo don’t apply to big sites only honest publishers are punished for following google rules

 

[homeriscool]

I can't believe this. Is on page seo even worth it? I'm tempted to make a site with spun content and fire loads of shitty spam links at it see what happens.

SIte of mine that took a hit in May just bounced back to near it's previous postions

No question about that.

Basically google has destroyed the grassroots WWW.

What we see now is one big commercial network.

Standardized sites, nobody does anything out of the usual, everyone just uses standard design, etc.

They've fucked the WWW forever.

Young folks have no idea how free we were before Google fucked it all up.

I saw it serp dancing on many of my websites.
Ranking drop.
Website has 0 blackhat actions, everything was done whitehat .... smhhh

 

[ltdpbn]

No drops for me, only gains if any movement. But I have been seeing a lot of movement in the serps for sure. When looking at sites that have dropped, 80% of them or thereabouts seem to be more EMA & Partial MA heavy, a littler higher than the ones that have not moved or gone up I would suggest. There also seems to be connection between DF & NF Ratios in the ones that I can see have dropped the hardest in several verticals. But too early to properly tell just yet, lately these updates seem to roll back in a few days a lot.

Of course there is an update, holyday sales are in full effect, I rhi k they where a little bit late but this happens every Xmas. Had nothing to do with algo it is just about pushing people to adwords.

This is getting silly.. time to get out the HTML editor, make a 3000 word single front page site and hammer it with GSA and SB back-links and see wtf happens !
Maybe para-sites are the way forward ?

 

[RayChand]

With Google it's better to create few sites in same niche and target the same keywords, couple of white hat sites and couple blackhat sites, u will have constant rankings in one of your site's, in some updates white hat and in another blackhat.

F*** yeah, Google lost it long back
