google roumered update?

has the fabled google update happened? it usually takes a week or so for my
listings to be fully integrated into a change - anyone?

I havn't seen a big change yet, my SERPS are still looking like pre-Florida
(post-Austin), where the sites which can afford to buy thousands of
backlinks are back on top.

I've noticed that people who were hit hard with Florida seem to be left
alone by Austin, and vice versa.

Give it time it will. Probably by the 16th of the month to celebrate the
florida anniversary.

I got hit by Florida but recovered right away from it and Austin never
effected me.

So your sources failed you? You said the first few days of Feb and you were
very sure of yourself. What does your source (wmw) say about that

I am well glad you asked that my son because I was about to post about
that anyways. I think the reason google pulled all the smaller data
centers offline is because they got so much slack for the 11/16 real
time beta testing, and that's what 11/16 was all about and still is by
the way. So they decided to do the beta testing offline so they don't
have to deal with 3/4 of the free world hating them. But when they do
get something figured out and are ready to bring those data centers back
online again then we're all going to get really fucked over but good
when that happens. Rather than being able to see what's happening and
adjusting to the changes gradually it'll all hit us in the face in one
mega blow like a 10 earthquake on the richter scale.

When will this happen? Who the fuck really knows but I just wish it
takes its time because I'm doing the best I ever did the past couple of
months and I dread it. But I have learnt a ton of new stuff from 11/16
and I think it'll help me figuring out whatever it takes to come back to
life from it when it happens.

You have to be like a cat to survive google and have 9 lives. I've
already used up a few of them but still have enough left to land on my
feet. So all I can say is "meow".

ps-I'll still stand by the 2/16 prediction. Why not. If that's wrong too
I think I'll stop predicting things for awhile. (it's a hard habit to
break).

Lets get a pool going ....

Hows that for a prediction ... I have absolutely nothing to base this on ,
but that seems to be common when trying to predict anything at Google.



Cheers,

Me too!

Got a quite number of small sites (40 pages max) that have held page 1
serps for a long time now. One in particular I upped in Novemember was
a property site that I'd optimised for 24 phrases over 10 or so pages.
All pages had page 1 positions for all key phrases then ZAP! Only 4
pages still have those page 1 positions, the others have gone out of
the first 1,000 in Google. In the other engines they still hold their
page 1's. Another site held page 1 for 184 related key phrases (again
a small site) then after December lost about 60 positions in Google,
judt dropped right out of the index???

It's pretty clear because of the drop in informed activity here that
regular contributors are busy with their own problems but I've spent
weeks researching and can't find a tangible explanation for what is
happening at Google. Filtering on some searches is going on for sure
and I'm not convinced we haven't seen the worst yet and for what it's
worth Google is definitely delivering plenty of no-relevant results
for everyday search input.

Hey Tin,

You hit the nail on the head.

I was blessed by Florida with all of my client sites going up in the
rankings. They were doing pretty well already but going from #4 to #2 for a
mildly competitive term we cool.

This last thing that happened a little over a week ago took my top client
and dropped them out of the top 100 for their main key term, a commercial
one. The funny thing is they are still #1 or #2 in the foreign Goggles and
all of their other commercial terms, just the one was filtered.

I wish Googl ewould realize that filtering results is not the way to go...at
least not with my sites.:-)
