Today I lost almost all my 1st positions, dozens of websites. My best performing website went from 1st to 10th for its main keyword, the other sites I have are nowhere to be found.

Funny thing is, a new website I made less than 1 month ago is ranking 4th for a pretty competitive keyword. It seems Google is laughing at us.

Those who were not hit please tell me which link building techniques you are using.

One of my sites is nowhere to be found as well. Seems it is deep in the sandbox for reasons unknown..

Maybe you could start first and mention, which link building techniques YOU used. Thanks!
 
Well it is google new algo. They are penalizing websites which have unnatural backlinking without taking into consideration whether that site is useful or not. The quality of google is seriously decreasing.
 
Yes I know what it is. Google being retarded and ranking crap sites over authority ones so everybody will use Adwords.
 
no too much changes here
websites got sames page ranks
:hmpf:
 
Wow!...my SERPs are rocked and I am sick to my stomach...over the last 60 days, I have worked really hard to return my site from a penalty on Feb 17th...

I feel like I should 401 dead end my inside money pages and create new urls for those...my homepage, not sure what to do with that...not sure, :(

I am thinking very bad things about google right now...everyone remember, never click on any ads if you search in google and don't buy android phones...

I used almost only article marketing (spun content) on the main site and XRumer/Scrapebox/Article Marketing/Web 2.0 on all the other websites. They all have high PR and thousands of backlinks.

Edit: my sites with not as many backlinks were not hit.

All pointing to your money site?

That would be the problem then. Since that is pretty much what google just said they don't want.
 
My site also hit.. :( Is this a dance or penalty? What do I need to do to back my rank?
 
I think the changes/update is not yet on it's full state. I mean, the ranking changes we see at the moment "could be" still a temporary one. It might change in few hours or days to come.

For me, I think, I have to wait before doing something else.
