Was There a Google Update or Something?

[Deleted member 36594]

The past few days, I realized several of my money sites were disappeared from the SERPs.

Initially, several of my sites were ranking on the first page... today, to my surprise, they disappeared and nowhere to be found.

This has really got me worried... don't know if Google has caught up my footprints or I just did some wrong moves.
Just hope it's a Google Dance.

None of my sites dropped, all of them still have stable rankings. A few actually hit #1 yesterday. There was a thread a few days back asking the same question - that could be related. It's probably just a random dance as far as I know. Don't worry too much

I also hope that it should be Google Dance because my main money making sites have also disappeared from SERP's.

There was a minor update and some of my clients sites noticed jumps in serps

 

[saurabhshyara]

There is something definitely going on at Google End as I can see some changes in SERPs... I just hope, it would be Google Dance

Well, allegedly, it may have had something to do with SAPE

Not too sure what to make of it to be honest as a number of folks here using SAPE have yet to be effected. I'd put my money more on a Penguin/Panda refresh or something like that.

FUCK!

I just realized 50% of my websites disappeared.
For fuck's sake. That also constitutes 50% of my income.

Worststill, only 2 or 3 of the websites uses SAPE. The rest were built with natural backlinks, yet they were affected.

Wtf mate. Damn, better start planning an alternate route.

One one my sites also dropped rank! it is only 2months old and the only backlink I made was tumblr. It was getting good traffic

Google is a strange creature

Thanks guys.

But this is really frustrating.

Just yesterday, another 3 sites disappeared to oblivion.
Today, another 2 more sites disappeared.

I don't know whether to freak out or not. I feel like throwing in the towel. But fuck that shit.

I think I gonna take a short break. Will fuck Google up hard once I have my rest.

 

[meannn]

Yeah, that sucks. I lost many sites also.

You may find something of use in the WebMaster World thread as well. Link is here: http://www.webmasterworld.com/google/4550136.htm

Definite chatter about an update - like I say my betting's on a Penguin Refresh.
