Major algorithm update from Google Algo!

Discussion in 'Google' started by smartware, Jul 21, 2012.

    I think Google has rolled out any major algo update in last couple of days. Most of my US projects got affected negatively. I have always followed white hat guidelines, even when the SEOs were in chaos I survived both Penguin and Panda updates but this time the result is worst - keywords position gone down heavily. Did anything happen with you?


    ...

    * Sorry for the typo. The title should read as "Major algorithm update from Google!"

    the best way to be save from panda and penguin is to just concentrate on your backlinks which must be from white hat ways.
    dont shape them spammy and dont automate anything with any kind of blackhat tool.

    Backlinks are important, but so is quality content and updating that on a regular basis.

    I also noticed a big drop for all my sites, a few days ago. I had something like 10 site's on first page, but now are all gone.

    Since penguin, it's to be expected that Google are making slight adjustments to the algorithm to try and reduce poor results. We did see a drop in ranking for our two main keywords 3-4 days ago, but these have since bounced back to the top two results.

    I noticed it on the same day when the post has made. According to the forum time - 21st July and according to my time zone (Indian standard time) - 22nd July. I'm not sure the update might have 1 or 2 days earlier.

    That's definitely a good news!
    Did you do any special treatment after the website got hit by Penguin update?

    I did see some fluctuations in a few of my sites which was a bit alarming but they have settled down again to roughly what is was before.

    AS far I know, last update was panda 3.8 on June 25. After that, Google issue some link warning on July 19. Found no i9nformation regarding any update on 21/22 July. Sometimes, seeing the fluctuations, but not much.

    There wasn't a "major" update at all. Google just did another round of discounting (the value of) spammy links and, obviously, the end results is a rank drop. It has been mentioned on plenty of SEO blogs and even by Google (Matt Cutts).
