New Google Update?

I hav noticed...my traffic got doubled from yesterday......hurray...:)
 
Nothing is wrong with google. They're simply penalizing sites that have done a lot of link building from web 2.0, blog comments, etc. That's why you're seeing crappy sites with no links rank better than good sites with lots of links.

Interesting that the sites that are ranking now are using 100% blog comments (for no PR pages)
I don't think the above is correct at all.

Perhaps you didn't imply it in your post but I'm curious:
What kind of links do you build to take over 5-6MM/yr niches? If blog comments, web 2.0s, private blog networks (almost all sites using them in any capacity were hit) and such don't work?

Clearly bookmarks don't work either (tested it extensively and created scripts for a lot of the major d0follow ones)

I still have yet to receive any "messages" in any of my WMTs by the way. So the penalty in this case appears to be entirely algorithmic?

Post-february changes my approach has been totally different on pulling traffic out of a very competitive niche, but I have yet to ever see anything that indicated google was after web 2.0 sites.

None of my sites were affected with this weeks earlier update/bug but some of them are now.

Yup,same here.I was fine until today.3/4 of my sites moved down 20-30 spots...and I've never used a blog network,ever.
 
They update their s*it all the time. Starting to really hate them :D
 
One of my main sites dropped from 1 to 7 some hours ago, now is back to 2#. I didn't touched this site in the last week and it was pretty stable.. Will see
 
Some of my sites got hit pretty hard, even though no blog network links were used.
 
Some nice increases in Bing, rather large drops in G (nothing in top 10 anymore). Cnuts.
 
sad to say it but I think this was the update they wanted to do last week and screwed up... now it could be for real. For the moment I'm glad none of my sites were affected. Good luck to the rest.
 
Most of my rankings have tanked -50-80 positions, starting to hate these algo updates
 
Google has been doing this since they started out.in 2002 I had a adult blogspot blog running AFF on it and got very little traffic.then for 2 days straight it went viral and I earned $1800 from AFF which they screwed me out of.in 2008 another domain that was a .info went viral for 1 day and I earned about $300 in one day.but both sites went back to normal afterwards.so it's no new thing for google to do this.
 
i think shit is just swinging. some of mine dropped too. Lets see what happens in the next week

me thinks the same. he did say about an error regarding parked domains. So maybe this is the real upgrade. Didn't lose any rankings here too. Hopefully won't lose much.

They are really starting to screw up. With millions going down the drain, it would be better to spend few hundred thousands and take care of cunts. :fencing:
 
I read the "Site gone? Google Update?" thread and see that many sites got slapped few days ago and got back to normal yesterday.

However i've just got hit to day, most of keywords was in page 1 now dropped few positions. Traffic decreased 40% :(
Personally i think its a update, not mistake :(

Really confused. One of my sites that i have hardly ever backlinked and gets average 500 UV/day, today (after only 10 hours) already has over 1000 UV.

I really think they are penalizing heavily backlinked sites.
 
They're always dicking about with their search results, why the fuck can't they stick to one thing. I am starting to think they just bullshit to keep us all confused. Like this Panda thing, a content farm algorithm of some abashed sorts, yet I still see eshit.com ranking not one but sometimes 3 listings for a query and about.com *slightly less so. But. Their results are no better. Now they have fucking mugshots plastered all over it, looks ridiculous! Oh well let's spam mugshits all over it son! $$$$
 
I really hope this is just another bugged mistake update because from my end, and from the sounds of most of the replies end quality sites have dropped being replaced by trash. Litterally 95% of the keywords I was after (over 200) have all seen the top 3 spots taken over by thin, ad heavy, poor content, low backlinked MFA sites.

Is that the new FOTM?

I pay upwards of $20 per 500 word article and stick to purely white hat backlinking with extremely highly optimized anchor text, titles and content. I literally can not find a better quality site with better content for a visitor that has now passed me in this recent update.

...and I am speaking biased here because they're my sites either...
 
yeah I have an EMD and my site dropped 20+ spots today alone >.> FML
