Did anybody here on this forum actually gain anything with the last update? Did you see an upswing around January 15th or so where you went from almost nothing to be on top? It seems like we only post here when something bad is happening and I guess it is a good thing so we don't blow our tops off trying to figure out WTH they did now but I don't see anybody posting things about "Google updated and I gained 400%" overnight. Would be fun to know if there is anybody out there that gained anything and also if someone that lost rankings have gained it back or not. I THOUGHT I was gaining a little but on Sunday but now it's getting worse again, as if worse can be "worser"
I can't say that I've gained anything. I do see a bouncing pagerank for linkstink.com...goes from 3 to 6. Very odd indeeed.
In the last month, one of my sites has triple in traffic (mostly from Google) and has quadrupled in Adsense. I did have about 100 - 200 pages indexed by Google for that site, and now there are about 1700; not sure why but I'm not complaining. My PR also when up for a lot of my secondary pages, but not the homepage.
