Ok as of now my SERPS have recovered somewhat. Not fully at all, but significantly above the depths they plummeted to a couple of days ago.
Strangely enough, although this is true for SERPS, it is not true for the stock market. SERPS are a zero sum game. In the stock market, on the other hand, the total value of all pieces of the game grows and shrinks. That makes it possible for everyone in the game to win, and also possible for everyone in the game to lose. Economics is way cool.
Usual bot movement, no major movement with KW's but slight drop in traffic - I'm putting this down to the holiday period, where schools are closed people are away and in my business have usually already booked there vacation.
Starting to make a comeback. A few cached pages. Some big jumps in the keyword tracker. Very excited that either it was nothing and my panic was all for not or that it was LinkPartners.com and I have they felt my removal was suffice. Anyone else noticing a climb etc... I mean those of us who were lost.
SERPs are up, but still jumping a lot intra-day. Sadly, our best rankings are every day about 1am EST, and worst are from 4am-6pm There's regular jump up at night and a jump back down in the early morning
