bourbon update

Ok, Thanks for that.

I am getting different results on the different datacenters (2 sets of results really).
The traffic reflects my new rankings entirely. Ie I am no longer being forund for terms I was top for (and still am on some of the datacenters on your tool)

 

Another of your patented informative posts, McDar. Thanks!

 

Today for some reason Google is showing older results. Yesterday it was showing that I had 450 pages indexed, today it is showing over 2,000. I should not have that many.

 

Some of those are mine, Googles76 -- and I want them back!

 

No you dont, they are worthless affiliate pages that got me into the sandbox in the first place

 

Oh. Those ones.

No, I don't want those ones back. Just the good ones.

 

thanks for the info..

 

Two Questions..

Is Google done it's Bourbon update?

Can signature links get your site sandboxed?

 

Is it possible for a site to be partially sandboxed? I'm still trying to trace down my issues; and I used the seomoz.org sandbox tool on a term that is like 101 right now. Gave me that the page was like moderately sandboxed or something. Other pages are top 10 and top 20 though. Can certain pages go away based upon their age and other factors?

 

It looks google has reverted some changes. My cache date has gone back

 

Makes sense to me. The last update wasn't beneficial to anyone.

 

How would that be possible lol

 

Dunno either but apparently there were less limits to screwing things up than we initially gave them credit for hehe

 

My site came out of the sandbox for a few days then went back in. It came out for a few more days then went back in. So whats up with that? Can't they just let it out?

 

I don't see any reversion to old results for the terms I am tracking?

 

I saw my site go from nowhere to number 4 then back to nowhere. Then it was number 3 then it was gone again.

 

I see that too LOL. I see a term go up to #4 then down to #11 if I hit refresh.

I'm convinced that a scraper site has too many links to me, and this has caused my problems. I was reading seomoz's analysis of the patent filing; and I went thru copyscape and found a scaper site ([nourl]http://www.searchready.co.uk/[/nourl]), which had about 400-500 different pages linking to me, hit me hard. Since I had #1-#3 on the bulk of my terms, they had me on a ton of the search pages.

It's the only thing I can think of.

 

Is there a chance that Google doesn't like sitewide links pointing to your site?

 

I'm not sure why they'd single out lorien, unless it's that mad cow thing again...

But if you're worried about those site-wide links, just do a deal with JoeyChgo... he (allegedly) keeps losing them so you'll be safe with him...

 

I think I'm back! Oh my. Exactly 2 weeks. Most of my old rankings are back again. I won't go jumping up and down quite yet. But it looks good. Wonder what happened?
