Over Optimization Penalty Launched Today

zebrahat said:
Again, I'll believe the changes are about 'webspam' when the over-optimized bad content on big boy sites get hammered the same way over-optimized good content gets hit on the small sites. Otherwise, it's just webspam PR being put out by Google to exhort to others about how considerate they are about 'the user experience,' when the real goal is to protect Big Inc. getting the top rankings, while making everybody else dependent on Adwords to get a top spot.

kw rankings bouncing like a basketball, I'm getting changes in serps every 45 minutes.
 
We want people doing white hat search engine optimization (or even no search engine optimization at all) to be free to focus on creating amazing, compelling web sites. As always, we?ll keep our ears open for feedback on ways to iterate and improve our ranking algorithms toward that goal.

HAHAHAHAHA, Yes keep creating amazing content that no one wull ever see and after you spend hundreds of man hours not ranking and not getting visits, come see our advertising department where we can charge you boo koo bucks for a single click!
 
The facts are

1) Google can't manually review every site on the web

2) It must rely on its software (spider guided by algorithm)

3) Humans can always outsmart artificial intelligence

4) Google's effort will always be a losing proposition in the long run

5) Internet denizens will never allow Google to run the whole internet show

6) It's not the end of SEO, the struggle continues

Cheer up guys

no hands seo will continue to work, you just have to configure it properly. Also its time to use real content to blast on to your 2.0's or your screwed and it wont work well. Google has turn this shit into a war to and to be honest they might win right now but shit changes. Another search engine could become better and get rid of their shit.


What if facebook goes to search....... :)
 
last week g reported a glitch. I think it was this algo rollout that went haywire. Last week, links to web 2.0 were outperforming domains.
 
But it's the harshest update I've seen, I mean my site above getting nearly 500 visitors per day to 0, not even 1 visitor, that means they've nailed all my long tail traffic as well as my home page main 2 keywords.

I agree with the sentiments above re. protecting big corporations and pushing small businesses from SEO to Adwords. All of the sites that overtook me after this update were big, authority corporation sites. Jeez, I wish I had got into SEO a year earlier, then my spamming would have worked and I could get out with at least a 100k.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Google ease up in a few days and quality sites that got hit come back up. This isn't hurting just small sites. Ive got fortune 50 and fortune 500 clients that are feeling the pain.

My two best performing sites have been smashed as of 5 hrs ago. Im in Australia. Are there any other ANZAC'S that have been smashed over the last couple of hours/day.

"LEST WE FORGET"
 
This is like a good ole days dance. Give it some time for the serps to settle down. All is not lost even though it looks that way. :)
 
This is not looking good so far. But I felt the same way about a year ago when the first Panda was rolled out in the Uk.

*Cough* Xrumer *Cough*

But my spam was the best quality spam you can get. It was seriously fucking good quality spam. If I were G bot I wouldn't have been able to detect it. How da fuck did they hit me? That's what leads me to believe G are going on the fucking rampage, seriously.

I haven't seen any drop in my affiliate earnings yet today, despite the fact that 2 of my 10 sites (both totalling 30,000 traffic per month) have fucking TANKED. But I am dreading the daily report tomorrow and the rest of the week.

Like I said, oh how I WISH I had got into IM a year earlier, that way I could have made a quick 100k and bounced to paid traffic to make the millions. I was expecting G to slap me sometime, but I was giving it about a year, not this soon dammit!!
 
If your site has dropped, don't expect it to come back up in the next few days. Big G has been talking about this update for a while.
 
Most of my sites are holding up just fine. The only ones that aren't are MFAs that I bought off people.

I have one site currently ranking #5 for a 4400 EMS $23.xx CPC that wasn't touched.

Not only is it ranking 5th. I have no articles and it is just the basic WordPress install on it.
