Mendez commented on Webmasters Buzzing Update Possible Google Update

Since 6 months for my nice in the Netherlands (.nl) we see only .com results, 2 days ago, finally everything was back to normal. So for my niche 90% .nl websites. I was getting happy. Only this took 1 day because everything is back to what is was. I hope Google will fix this, because this is not normal.

Adnan commented on Get Alerts When New Google Maps Images Are Added

Can anyone tell me how come the peoples realize that i am watching them or i am browsing around the street via Google map, I am really curious and just want to know what is the thing there through i am viewing the image and what peoples see that something is viewing them or around. Today i was browsing some place and viewing the image on street and the peoples on that street was looking at me ( I mean may be there was a camera or something) and they even point the finger at me (I mean the photo i was viewing ) and they show thumbs up like they know someone or something is viewing them so therefore i just want to know what source is letting us view street and images and what people see and realize what thing is trying to see them. Thank you

Whitey commented on 15 Year Webmaster Vet Says Google Hit Good Content Way Too Hard

Hello, I am Whitey, a well respected member of WebmasterWorld forums. After Tedster, I post the most there and I love the recent communications from Matt Cutts. His videos will help us webmasters navigate through many Google updates. Webmaster losing traffic should follow Amit Singhal's 22 point by point advice on how to build great sites. And Matt's uber cute.

Anti-SEO works for Google. Google Search is rigged to increase ad clicks and force sites to advertise. Each update achieves that goal more an more, check their earnings.Too bad Barry and Danni Sullivan are still counting the SMX loot, taken from poor webmasters seeking to find out WTF is going on. Google ad clicks have more than doubled since Panda

Google "quality search" is moving towards making Google more money by increasing ad clicks. All this supposed chaos and Google's earnings rise by 20-30% a year. Google is rigged

Couple of days ago I read here Google will keep rolling out updates in the start of every month and will take almost 15-20 days to come into full effect. I think this is also a part of panda update.

Kurt commented on 15 Year Webmaster Vet Says Google Hit Good Content Way Too Hard

Google's search quality strategy seems to be moving more and more towards "removing SPAM and preventing manipulation" instead of "detecting quality content." If you run under the business principle of "preventing what's wrong" instead of "finding what's right", you'd really end up with this kind of mess.

Ditto. Our traffic appeared to be down by more than 20 per cent by the end of the day. Then the numbers jumped, then they fell again before stabilizing at the higher level.

This site follows none of Googles rules. Including the no-follow advertorials rule and it seems to be crying all the way to the bank http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/www.buzzfeed.com

Watch this stats : http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bubblews.com I'm pretty sure the owner also whining somewhere or will start soon. Can the owner blame Google ? Well, probably yes. ..................... Then watch the website by itself and try to understand what is it about, how it works ... dig it. Can the owner blame Google now ? That's why vague talking without the URL is the waste of time.

Not a lot happening with the Serp status checkers. Except Mozcast.com it showed a bit of a spike a day or 2 ago but no one seemed to be making a big deal of it

MikeHalo commented on Webmasters Buzzing Update Possible Google Update

That's the beauty of the Internet, ain't it? I agree with your statement. However, I don't want to post my URL for a couple of reasons. I guess you can take it or leave it (my opinion/situation that is). I know that Alexa stats are rubbish, though to use it as a reference point, it was (and still is) a highly ranked Alexa website. It has a somewhat significant profile. I don't wish for it to be the center of attention for these matters. I've previously thought about contacting some people to run some "case studies" but I've since changed my mind. My website has 2 main competitors who are somewhat similar in their functionality and use (though more limited) and they are yet to be hit. These are both also very highly ranked on Alexa, both well below 1,000. Which means I've either: 1. Done something obviously wrong somewhere/missed something. I've had a few of my webmasters/programmer mates go over it with a fine tooth comb. Beyond minor improvements, there's nothing obvious. 2. Maybe there's a dodgy page somewhere I am unaware of -- Google said "A single page can bring down a domain". Possible, though unlikely I believe. 3. I am collateral damage. I am 99% sure that it is content/structure related. I've made some tweaks here and there so we'll see how that goes. Another area that may be my downfall is heavy usage of robots.txt -- I previously blocked quite a lot of the website. I've relaxed these rules a little. But to me, that doesn't make much sense. And lastly, the only other thing I came up with, was a "nofollow" on a couple of internal links. After watching basically every Google webmaster video, Matt Cutts basically says it's a bad idea except in some circumstances. I used it on my login/register page, as well as to an information page that was linked on every page. I have since removed these internal nofollow's.

"Anti-SEO" you're always voting UP Google with your wonderful SEO and your many 'friends' that mysteriously link to you with free love. How about YOUR URL?

I know your pain. I have lived it for over a year. Difference is I had 2+ years developing my site and people loved it. Google, the beast, one April day 2012, didn't for whatever reason. I refuse to buy Pay Per Click Google not matter what based on principal.

MikeHalo commented on Webmasters Buzzing Update Possible Google Update

I know there are a lot of mixed feelings or distrust in anyone that complains. Previously I was somewhat in the same boat. I am one of the people who was quoted above from Webmaster World. Let me tell you that there is collateral damage, and I strongly do consider myself part of this damage. June 5th to be precise. The trend of people who regularly complain about these updates normally run a WordPress style website. Mine is not. I spent around 6 months developing my website before launching it. It's around 15,000 lines of code or so. It's completely custom, valid (HTML5) code. If I check the "recommended" guidelines, there is not a single one that I can say no to. In all honesty, I didn't even check any of these or even bother to read up on "SEO" before I was hit with this penalty. I never built the website for "SEO". But don't take my word on having an "awesome" site, everyone says that right? Well I thought at least my analytic statistics backed that up. My sites bounce rate is below 25%, repeat visitor is very, very high, and our pages per user is verging on 10 or so. We also have thousands of registered users (for free) who most of return daily. There is no UGC indexed by Google, either. There have been 2-3 scrapers that targeted my website, though I blocked them and they are all offline now. To top it off? Zero ads. This was a project I did in my free time. This wasn't a money chasing project. So while this may not effect me in the same way that it effects others, it is still a little mind boggling wondering what triggered the penalty. We lost around 100,000 visitors from Google daily. Our search is mainly our direct and returning visitors. Searches for our site name have increased nearly 10 fold. So people are wondering where our website went... Or that's how I read it. There is collateral damage in these updates.

I really don't see anything different. The same free blog hosts are still ranking their splogs rather well. Copied content is doing pretty good when hosted on a Google owned property (Splogspot) too. Domain authority is the new king and hard working webmasters are the pawns looking for a way to fix something that only Google can fix (their broken algorithm that encourages content theft and link spam to competition websites).
