A few thoughts about the recent drops some of us have experienced. A few trends I see on sites who have suffered rankings' loss: - Masses of specific anchor text links, usually 1 per page - Low number of brand term anchor text links which looks unnatural - Sites which havebeen "optimised" with spammy links over the last 3-6 months. That would include links from sites with spammy content, links from duplicate or similar content etc. Anyone else seeing any of the above trends or any other ones?
google just keeps on dancing and nobody can predict the results, for everybody who was affected, try to wait couple days, all i can say
google is going mad dropped the PR of all my domains then sandboxed all my sites and finally disabled my adsense accouunt with $300 balance and payment to be issued this month
Yes I had a drop in PR, though my site appears to be staying in roughly same spots for keywords I have been really pushing the last couple months... I've checked my analytics too and that all seems stable. I've paid for a few more high PR directory listings, and been routinely doing my forum/blog posting, and that seems to have stabilized things a bit as far as my page position.
