Google made algorithm change last Thursday, which creates huge impact on SERP.Most of big and websites which doing pretty well since 2005, got huge rank fall on Google.We got good impact on SERP after Mayday update, but this change becoming drastic for some big websites,now the thing is Google is showing pure results by this latest algo?My personal opinion is scrappers sites and blogs still doing well for some cases and original sites going down on SERP?Is that algo change is justified engineering so far?Lots of questions comes but the answer is keep patience and watch the Google’s movement.Another cruel part of this algo is some people will loose their job or some might get pink slip.Hope Google will balance everything… Now the question comes from SISTRIX who are the loosers: # Domain Change SISTRIX (before) SISTRIX (after) # KWs (before) # KWs (after) 1 wisegeek.com -77% 121,58 28,22 74.024 21.940 2 ezinearticles.com -90% 65,08 6,65 184.508 54.277 3 suite101.com -94% 54,04 3,28 178.373 36.904 4 hubpages.com -87% 55,16 7,40 152.998 50.178 5 buzzle.com -85% 43,25 6,55 86.472 24.423 6 associatedcontent.com -93% 38,29 2,57 216.429 53.512 7 freedownloadscenter.com -90% 30,26 3,01 42.486 7.992 8 essortment.com -91% 25,73 2,32 27.501 7.459 9 fixya.com -80% 28,78 5,83 62.034 36.167 10 americantowns.com -91% 24,88 2,18 26.000 9.799 11 lovetoknow.com -83% 25,75 4,28 49.544 17.833 12 articlesbase.com -94% 19,96 1,16 82.274 31.365 13 howtodothings.com -84% 21,20 3,39 33.222 7.601 14 mahalo.com -84% 20,49 3,23 33.875 9.740 15 business.com -93% 17,24 1,13 21.556 4.813 16 doityourself.com -77% 20,89 4,90 23.256 6.870 17 merchantcircle.com -85% 18,43 2,67 93.347 34.681 18 thefind.com -83% 18,95 3,27 74.506 45.495 19 findarticles.com -90% 16,98 1,74 64.810 20.189 20 faqs.org -91% 16,52 1,46 33.648 11.142 21 tradekey.com -89% 16,83 1,79 37.364 16.268 22 answerbag.com -91% 12,93 1,11 67.314 26.054 23 trails.com -87% 12,05 1,62 38.346 8.511 24 examiner.com -79% 10,54 2,19 70.781 31.272 25 allbusiness.com -88% 8,86 1,08 16.457 6.034 We can see, the site got huge impact on SERP who used scratch contents and content firms….but if this the point then what about eHow, eHow still wins the game.?Another question coming if some one is distributing his articles to other websites is it a penalty?If yes why this will be counted as penalty where the original content owner is distributing or syndicating his own get the link back from the website and additional visitors from that particular website..Hope Google will identify which one is distributed by the original owner which one by the scrapper just to get link back.. Few winners are from SEO Book author AAron Wall: Another question arises is Google is biased for the big brands for this algo?If you see the changes Associated Content is one strong looser where a point comes on Wepronews this one run by Yahoo.Another important part was:Bing Engineer Accuses Google Of Profiting Off Search Spam, so it was debated that Google need more better results. Now, we need to figure out whats Google’s direction for latest algorithm that a Big online retailer’s to a small website owner get benefit from it, make them profitable.
The original game is for Big websites and mainly content based websites....where traffic decreased 30% to 40% and SERP movement is accordingly downsized...in case of small and new websites having a less impact with this algo change, till the date...though still waiting for more changes on this Farmer algo to get some specific signals...which one loosing and gainer why..
I heard about the change in Google algorithm but could not able to come any answer. Can somebody tell me what will be the exact impact of this change ?
Thanks a lot for sharing this Google algo related information with us in this forum.. It is very useful for SEO Professional Guy....
Dear, I am agreed with you. I have my site at top on first page. After this drastic change my site is positioned at 4th page. I also do not know what to do. My friend told me this is google dance. Just wait and see.
Hi, Recently Google update algorithm and penalized website which have duplicate and non quality content...!
Nice post, I read over at PotPieGirls blog about the recent changes, I'd check that out too for more info. She did a video too
The impact seems to be erratic and unpredictable (past some huge link farms). Someday I hope to be worried about my relative position on page 1.
