Has there been another major update?

as in the other thread, coop is a digitalpoint link exchange program. look in the forums here

 

Thank you mhamdi, now i'm sure that it isn't the problem.

 

Good to know for the coop... but im still clueless!

 

... and what your strategies guys??

I'm still here, waiting for a miracle to happend for the last 4-5 days. I really don't know if I should work on the site and change things that worked for me for the last 2 years!! My site is (was) ranked #1 or 2 for almost 2 years and has become an authority site....

Maybe its time for long vacations!!

 

any of you has the same problem as me:
when using the site: command, I don't get the homepage ranked first, I can't even find it. It is still indexed though.
I want to figure out if this is a penalty or an update.

 

I think it's an update.

There are more then 20-30 guys having the same problem.

 

checked 10 sites all showing the homepage as no 1.

 

I hope and I believe it is just a glitch that will be fixed. I will have a better idea in the next crawling of my site.

 

I have this, only for the site experiencing serps drop. All other sites are still the same.

 

very interesting, will check some websites soon...

 

One of my sites had around 1000 pages indexed and fell to 66 gradually over a period of weeks until I got back to normal a couple of days ago. Now 890 pages indexed again and I'm back in the serps as before.

 

about a day ago some 50% of my serps dropped totally out of G and all others are among top as before

hence it appears to me like a glitch or loss of db
(about 2 days ago G adsense server was down for several hours from this point of the world

there is hope as usual

 

Yes but this is a different problem. yours was the indexing problem, but this is a new issue. Pages indexed but drop in serps.

 

They still have the data, but pages are ranked +30 or higher now. something is going on with their algorithm. either a glitch or update

 

I always have up and downs there, never stable. It took much longer this time than any other time before

 

Same with me

 

So this isn't about the green bar? It's just about the SERPS right? I just want to be clear.

 

Yep... just the SERPS!

No PR change, No indexed page changes (for me)...

The thing I see is that it happened just after this major bug with this site having 5 billion pages indexed in GG. (read more here: http://www.platinax.co.uk/news/19-06-2006/google-admits-bad-data-push-error/).

It looks like GG over-reacted and prefer to penalize thousands of websites instead of working on the real problems.

 

Yea same problem here with 3 of my sites, it looks like google is just making googlebot more strict to filter out the spam now we all have to suffer.
