    Google has become the aluminum standard in search engine technology.

    and I lost half of my visitors just like that, and it f*****ng sucks!
    Not suer, like I said, if anybody else have seen it but when I check my stats, what people have been searching for and what landing pages it is all old pages and supplemental pages that shows up...
    I am SOOOO tired of Googles crap and and just hope that MSN runs them over with live.com and the new Vista.... then they can have their spam index by themselves since nobody want to go to Google and try to find anything anymore.....:mad:

    Yup things have sucked for a lot of my sites. To me though it looks like they are doing a lot of datacleansing. I would say things are going to pick up again and they are preparing their databases for the ones of us who stick to the rules

    Same here. :mad:
    Finally my art site (www.zgallery-art.com) was on full power again in Google with something like 1600 pages. Now only 559 are left AND worst of all: my major keywords, the bl@#{y name of the site no longer shows me on the first 2 pages, while I've been on the first page for ages with keyword zgallery, my main traffic generator.

    I thought Google had gone through bad times and things were sorted out, but no such luck. Byebye traffic, byebye Adsense income. Damn you Google! It will take ages for the end users to realize Google isn't churning up decent results anymore. :(

    in the past 24 hrs i have lost most of my SERPS in G
    and hence also some 20% traffic
    but that is old stuff and happens once or several times a years for some 2 years now

    I know, I know, but it's still depressing, specially if the normal period lasts about a week or so. :(

    I'm sorry to hear about this. Just googled zgallery, and I can't believe that Google would rather list forum posts that make reference to your site instead of your site itself!

    It truly is sad indeed. They sure are on the dark path these days.
    Even zgallery-art will not return my site, you have to add the .com :(

    [edit]
    keywords like boulogne-sur-mer, also good for a few hits and in general of longer staying visitors, also no longer show me in the top 20. :(
    It's so frustrating!

    As of last sunday, everything is back to normal. Very noticable in my adsense income too!

    Thank you Google! (a little sarcastic, but those SE blunders of them cost me dearly)

    I'm just woried about how long it will last this time.
