    Stupid newbies, can't you watch the news? An update is performed. Learn your bits if you want to have "some" success. Do you think Google is waiting for YOU to change it's algos?

    I check my Google Analytics data only every 2 weeks (to be surprised every single time), so I will let you know tomorrow (since it's November 1st) if I have been affected as well ... hope not. :eek:

    This is a 'normal' thing for people to loose rank and it's called google dance. In some cases it might actually be a penalty though.

    It's pretty hard to say anything upfront, if you can let us know the domain name, we can have a look at it.

    A Google PR Update - sites with a lot of paid links are penalized. It seems that links from directories receive less value too.
